IMF Sweden-2013 Article IV Consultation: Concluding Statement of the Mission
May 31, 2013--Sweden's economy performed well through the crisis. but growth has moderated recently...
1. Growth has slowed in a difficult external environment. Recovering quickly from the Great Recession, Sweden led much of the rest of Europe in 2010-11, and its current account remains in strong surplus. But the economy decelerated in 2012 together with its main trading partners.
Uncertainty about euro area developments contributes to weak investment. Housing credit continues to expand, despite the still high rate of unemployment. Headline inflation has recently turned negative and is well below the Riksbank’s target much due to the direct result of the Riksbank’s interest rate cuts. Core inflation as measured by the CPIF is somewhat higher, but still below target. This reflects the strengthening of the krona possibly exacerbated by safe-haven flows, as well as the opening of a small output gap. In real effective terms, the krona is still mildly below, but close to, its medium-term fundamentals.
2. The outlook is for gradual improvement. At about 1.1 percent, growth will remain modest this year. But it should gather speed by 2014, reaching 2.3 percent for the year, with exports and private expenditure picking up as the uncertainty associated with the euro area crisis slowly recedes. Unemployment is expected to decline only gradually, reflecting the lingering impact of the 2009 crisis and the time required for recent reforms to translate into employment gains.
