Sweden | We expect strong growth in Q3
Sweden’s economy grew by 0.9% q/q in Q2 according to the flash estimate. This was below our forecast and driven by tax changes for registering new cars introduced on 1 April. But the monthly GDP series points to an acceleration through the quarter with growth up to 2.5% in June.
What you will learn:
- High-frequency indicators point to the pace of the recovery
slowing recently, probably due to seasonal factors - The job recovery continues at a steady pace
- The pandemic brought a major fiscal and monetary policy response that has supported jobs and incomes. However, we expect the fiscal impulse to turn negative next year.
- Our forecasts up to 2024 for all of the key economic indicators including GDP, Consumer demand, exports of goods and services, Domestic demand

We assume higher bond yields will force the government to take measures to reduce the deficit from 2028.
