| Итог: | This 2008 Article IV Consultation highlights that Sweden's economy has performed well, but is sensitive to global demand. The activity is now moderating.

Private consumption growth has been relatively smooth, as employment and wages have picked up, and disposable income further benefited from tax cuts.
