Household consumption increased by 0.8 percent in August compared to the previous month, according to figures from Statistics Sweden (SCB). However, compared to the same month in 2023, the increase was marginal, 0.1 percent, measured in calendar-adjusted figures and fixed prices.
Primarily, it is about a positive development for the group that SCB refers to as "retail trade with a broad range, mainly food and beverages".
