Sweden's manufacturing sector expanded at the weakest pace in nine months in June, survey data from Swedbank and the logistics association SILF showed on Tuesday.
The purchasing managers' index for the manufacturing sector dropped to 51.9 in June from 53.1 in May. However, a reading above 50 indicates expansion.
Among components, the production sub-index accounted for the largest negative contribution to the PMI total, followed by new orders, employment, and delivery times, while inventory purchases made a positive contribution.
