2026.06.0506:00:00UTC+00Sweden’s Current Account Surplus Widens to SEK 93.9B in Q1 2026

Sweden’s current account surplus expanded in the first quarter of 2026, rising to SEK 93.9 billion from SEK 78.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025. The latest figures, updated on 5 June 2026, indicate a notable quarter‑on‑quarter strengthening in Sweden’s external balance.

The increase suggests that Sweden continued to post solid net earnings from trade in goods and services and cross‑border income flows at the start of 2026, compared with the closing quarter of 2025. While detailed drivers behind the shift were not provided, the larger surplus underscores Sweden’s position as a net lender to the rest of the world during the period.

The move from SEK 78.1 billion in Q4 2025 to SEK 93.9 billion in Q1 2026 will be closely watched by investors and policymakers, as it can have implications for the krona, domestic demand dynamics and the broader outlook for Sweden’s external sector in 2026.
