Producer prices in Sweden decreased for the fourth straight month in February, data from Statistics Sweden showed on Wednesday.
The producer price index dropped 1.7 percent year-on-year in February, slower than the 2.0 percent fall in January.
The downward trend in February was mainly driven by a 3.6 percent decline in costs for consumer goods and a 2.7 percent drop for capital goods. Meanwhile, prices for energy-related products increased by 3.5 percent.
