Overview

Sweden’s real GDP growth has slowed to 0.75 % in 2025, placing the country 170th in the World Bank rankings and marking the lowest annual expansion since the post‑crisis trough of –4.26 % in 2009. The Swedish economy’s most vigorous expansion occurred in 1964, when growth reached an all‑time peak of 6.82 % after a steady climb from the 1961 level of 5.68 %. Over the 65‑year series, the long‑run trend has shifted from the high‑growth environment of the 1960s to a persistently modest pace in the 2020s, a pattern mirrored by peers such as New Zealand, which posted 0.83 % growth in the same year. The current trajectory suggests that any substantial acceleration will depend on structural reforms, investment in green technologies, and the resolution of global supply‑chain disruptions, which could lift Sweden back toward its historic growth levels.
