Sweden’s Swedbank Manufacturing PMI rose to 57.2 in April 2026 from 56.2 in March, extending its run above the long-term average for a tenth straight month. This marked the highest reading since February 2022, supported by stronger new orders (59.4 vs 54.2) and suppliers’ delivery times (64.3 vs 59.6), while inventory purchases (57.0 vs 51.8), employment (55.1 vs 57.9), and production weighed on the overall index. Order backlogs also rose to 59.4 from 53.2, pointing to sustained demand. Looking ahead, firms remained optimistic, with production plans climbing to 70.1, the first time since February 2022 that the index has exceeded 70. On the cost side, the supplier raw and input price index surged by 11.5 points to 81.3, the highest since May 2022, reflecting rising energy prices and supply disruptions linked to developments in the Middle East, which have increased cost pressures across the sector.
