Sweden's consumer price inflation held steady as initially estimated in December after easing to a 6-month low in the previous month, the latest data from Statistics Sweden showed on Thursday.
The consumer price index, or CPI, rose 0.3 percent year-over-year in December, the same as in November. That was in line with the flash data published on January 8.
Data showed that the consumer price index with a fixed interest rate, or CPIF, increased at a slower pace of 2.1 percent annually in December versus 2.3 percent in November, as estimated. Nonetheless, the inflation has continued to remain just above the Riksbank's target of 2.0 percent.
