The inflation rate according to the CPIF (Consumer Price Index with a fixed interest rate), ie the change from the same month last year, was 6.1 per cent in March 2022. This is an increase from February when the inflation rate was 4.5 per cent.
The monthly change from February to March was 1.7 percent.
According to Statistics Sweden, this is the highest inflation rate according to the CPIF since December 1991
- The inflation rate rose sharply as a result of a general, broad rise in prices.
Prices of food and non-alcoholic beverages increased, but above all it was rising electricity and fuel prices that had an effect, says Caroline Neander, price statistician at Statistics Sweden.
