Sweden raised its 2026 GDP growth forecast to 2.5% on Thursday afternoon, outpacing the broader European economic outlook ahead of next month's general election. The upward revision from 2.3% reflects recent tax cuts and household support measures enacted by the governing centre-right coalition. Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson said the national economy is operating from a stronger foundation than in 2022.
