Sweden's economic sentiment improved somewhat and moved closer to a normal level, while consumers expressed a more pessimistic outlook, survey results published by the National Institute of Economic Research showed on Wednesday.
The economic tendency index rose to 99.9 in March from 99.7 in February. Moreover, the index remained just below the normal level of 100.
All indicators within the business sector point to a normal sentiment, with the exception of construction, where conditions strengthened further and are now above normal, the survey said.
