Savings amounted to SEK 34 billion, a decrease of SEK 10 billion compared to the same period the previous year.
Household loans, on the other hand, increased by SEK 41 billion, an increase of SEK 14 billion compared to the corresponding quarter of 2024. The rise is mainly in secured loans, but unsecured loans have also increased.
"We see that household borrowing has picked up again in recent quarters. It will now be interesting to follow how the new rules for interest deductions affect developments, both for secured loans, where deductions are still possible, and for unsecured loans, where the right to deduct will disappear completely from 2026," says Emil Jansson, an economist at Statistics Sweden, in a press release.
