Sweden's inflation rate measured by the KPIF indicator fell to 1.7 percent in February 2026, according to new figures from Statistics Sweden (SCB). The decline was in line with preliminary estimates released by the statistical agency the previous week. In January, inflation stood at 2.0 percent.
SCB price statistician Caroline Neander stated in a press release that electricity and food prices drove inflation upward in February, while restaurant visits also contributed to price increases. However, these upward pressures were offset by continued low interest costs. Specifically, dental care and fuel prices pulled inflation downward, while meat prices were a driving factor in food price increases.
