Why it matters
Construction is sensitive to interest rates and an early casualty of tighter credit; it also feeds jobs and materials demand.
How it is calculated
Output or spending on construction projects, reported by builders and adjusted for prices and seasons.
What changes mean
- Falling construction after rate hikes shows policy working.
- Public infrastructure can offset weak private building.
Higher than expected: A stronger figure than expected points to a healthier economy: it usually supports the Swedish krona and local stocks, and can push bond yields up.
Lower than expected: A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the Swedish krona tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.
A short history
Construction statistics became standard in the post-war rebuilding era; housing booms and busts, such as 2006–2009, made them closely watched.
The Riksbank is the world's oldest central bank, founded in 1668.
