HELSINKI, June 17 (Xinhua) -- Sweden's economy is projected to grow 0.9 percent in 2025, with a stronger expansion of 2.7 percent expected in 2026, the Swedish National Institute of Economic Research (NIER) estimated in an outlook report published Tuesday.
The institute attributed the current economic sluggishness to both external and domestic factors. Internationally, U.S. trade policy, marked by higher tariffs and policy uncertainty, is weighing on the global economy, leading to weak demand in Sweden's export markets. This trend is likely to persist into next year.
