Prices and consumption

Official statistics of Sweden

Surveys by statistics areas

  • Building price index (BPI) (output price index)

    The Building Price Index illustrates price development for newly constructed dwellings, that is, the price an investor or final consumer pays for a construction project. The statistics include multi-dwelling buildings and collectively built one or two-dwelling buildings. A project with collectively built one or two-dwelling buildings can contain one or more one or two-dwelling buildings.

    Construction cost index for buildings (CCI) (input price index)

    The index measures changes in cost for production factors in housing construction, that is, materials of various types, equipment, salaries, transport, etc. The index does not take account of the market situation, but is based on measurements of a number of goods and salaries. Index figures are calculated for multi-dwelling buildings, collectively built one- or two-dwelling buildings and agricultural buildings in total and by major type of cost.

  • Consumer Price Index (CPI)

    The CPI measures the average price trend for the entire private domestic consumption based on prices consumers actually pay. The Consumer Price Index is the standard measure of compensation and inflation calculations in Sweden.

  • Consumer Tendency Survey

    Statistical agency: National Institute of Economic Research

    The statistics show Swedish households' view on their personal financial situation and on the economic situation in Sweden, their view on expectations on interest rates and inflation, and on purchasing plan of capital goods and saving.

  • Producer and import price index

    This index shows the average price trend at the producer and import stage, in total and by different product groups in accordance with SPIN 2015. Prices are measured in the first phase of distribution when the goods are delivered from Swedish producers and when goods enter into Sweden.

  • Purchasing Power Parities (PPPs)

    Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) measures the price difference on comparable goods and services among countries. The PPP is used to make comparisons of countries' GDP and to calculate the Price Level Index (PLI) to be able to compare price levels and living costs among countries.
