Producer prices in Sweden increased for the first time in five months in March and at the quickest pace in just over a year amid soaring energy costs, data from Statistics Sweden showed on Friday.
The producer price index climbed 2.0 percent year-on-year in March, reversing a 1.7 percent decrease in February. Moreover, this was the fastest growth since February 2025, when prices rose 3.4 percent.
Prices for energy-related products alone grew 15.8 percent from last year, while costs for consumer and capital goods slid by 2.4 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively.
