2024-03-06

The current account surplus amounted to SEK 116.7 billion during the fourth quarter of 2023, which is an increase by SEK 8.7 billion compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase is due to a strengthened trade balance, which can be explained by increased exports and decreased imports of goods. The current account surplus is reduced by a negative balance of services.
