Sweden: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2024 Article IV Mission

Headline inflation (HICP), which reached 10.8 percent (y/y) at end-2022 and has since been declining, is projected to average 2.6 percent in 2024 and reach target in the first half of 2025, supported by prudent policy actions and modest growth in negotiated wages.
