Oil prices extend losses as traders downplay Russia sanction risks
Investing.com -- Sweden’s economy grew faster than initially estimated in the second quarter of 2025, according to final data released Friday by the country’s Statistics Office.
Gross domestic product expanded by 0.5% in the April-June period compared to the first quarter of the year. This represents a significant upward revision from the flash estimate published in late July, which had indicated just 0.1% growth.
The year-on-year growth rate was also revised higher, showing the Swedish economy expanded by 1.4% compared to the second quarter of 2024. The preliminary figures had suggested a more modest annual growth rate of 0.9%.
The final GDP figures paint a more positive picture of Sweden’s economic performance during the spring months than previously thought.
