Sweden’s CPIF (Consumer Price Index at constant interest rates) remained unchanged in April 2026 on a month-over-month basis, staying at -0.6%, according to data updated on 6 May 2026. The figure matches March 2026’s month-over-month reading of -0.6%, indicating that the pace of price declines under the CPIF measure has stabilized rather than accelerating or reversing.

The CPIF is a key inflation benchmark in Sweden as it strips out the direct effects of interest rate changes, offering policymakers and market participants a clearer view of underlying price dynamics. The “actual” April reading compares price changes from April to March, while the “previous” figure reflected changes from March to February, underscoring that the same rate of decline has persisted for a second consecutive month.

With CPIF inflation flat at a negative rate on a month-over-month basis, investors and analysts are likely to watch upcoming releases closely for signs of whether Sweden’s disinflation phase is bottoming out or could extend further into 2026. For now, the data suggest a period of steady, but not deepening, price declines in the Swedish economy.
