Sweden’s consumer price inflation remained unchanged in February, with the year-on-year CPI reading coming in at 0.5%, matching the previous figure of 0.5%. According to the latest data updated on 12 March 2026, price growth in February 2026 rose at the same pace as in the prior comparison, indicating a period of stability in headline inflation.

The February reading compares the change in the consumer price index to the same month a year earlier, while the previous figure reflected the change in the prior month relative to its level a year before. The fact that both actual and previous year-on-year readings stand at 0.5% suggests that inflationary pressures have neither intensified nor eased notably on an annual basis, offering policymakers and markets a relatively steady backdrop for near-term economic assessments.
