The value of Swedish exports of goods fell to 159.9 billion kronor in July, down from 198.1 billion in June. Imports also fell to 158.7 billion kronor, from 195.6 billion kronor. The trade surplus thus shrank to 1.2 billion kronor, down from 2.5 billion kronor in June, according to Statistics Sweden (SCB).
In July 2025, Sweden's trade surplus was SEK 3.5 billion.
Seasonal effects explain the reduced surplus, according to Statistics Sweden.
"Seasonally adjusted, the trade balance shows a surplus of SEK 2.8 billion for July, and a surplus of SEK 2.6 billion in June. For May, the corresponding figure was a surplus of SEK 2.0 billion," writes Statistics Sweden.
