<p>SEB - Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB has released its latest financial outlook, projecting global GDP growth to remain steady at just over 3 percent in both 2026 and 2027. The bank notes that Swedish growth has accelerated noticeably ahead of the implementation of fiscal stimulus measures scheduled for 2026, with inflation expected to fall well below target in 2024. Fiscal policy in Sweden is anticipated to be highly expansionary in 2026, with reforms—primarily tax reductions—amounting to SEK 80 billion, and the total expansionary effect, including additional spending, reaching around SEK 130 billion. General government debt is forecasted to rise to 37 percent of GDP by 2027. Despite the increase in debt, SEB expects only a moderate level of central government debt by international standards. Investments are projected to increase by approximately four percent annually, and exports are expected to sustain growth of around five percent per year throughout the forecast period. Housing investment is predicted to recover slightly in 2026-2027, with housing prices turning upwards after remaining unchanged in 2025.
