瑞典的商业信心从4月份向下修正的99.8降至2025年5月的98.9,尽管它仍然反映了一种普遍正常的情绪。大多数行业的公司认为需求(-27比-29)比平时疲软,但建筑业除外,建筑业的需求仍接近历史平均水平。此外,过去三个月就业人数略有下降(-3比-5),而招聘计划保持稳定(1),表明未来劳动力规模变化不大。与此同时,预计未来三个月销售价格将上涨的公司比例高于正常水平(21比22),尽管不同行业的预期有所不同——制造商大多预计价格会上涨,而建筑公司预计投标价格会下降。
Sweden’s business confidence slipped to 98.9 in May 2025 from a downwardly revised 99.8 in April, though it still reflects a broadly normal sentiment. Companies in most sectors viewed demand (-27 vs -29) as weaker than usual, except in construction, where it remains close to the historical average. Additionally, employment declined slightly over the past three months (-3 vs -5), while hiring plans held steady (at 1), pointing to little change in workforce size ahead. Meanwhile, a larger-than-normal share of firms expect sales prices (21 vs 22) to rise in the next three months, although expectations vary by sector—manufacturers largely anticipate price increases, while construction firms foresee a drop in bid prices.
