Sweden
The rate of unemployment in Sweden rose to 7.9% in October from 7.8% in September.
It represents the percentage of the eligible work force that is unemployed, but is actively seeking employment. The rate of unemployment also reflects overall economic state in the country, as there is a strong correlation between consumer spending levels and labor market conditions. Low rates of unemployment are accompanied by increased spending, which causes a favorable effect on corporate profits and also leads to overall growth acceleration.
Sweden’s annualized index of consumer prices (CPI) probably contracted by 0.2% in October, according to expectations, from -0.4% in September, which was the fastest level of deflation since March.
In monthly terms, consumer prices were probably flat compared to a 0.2% gain a month earlier.
The index measures the change in price levels of a basket of goods and services from consumer’s perspective and also reflects purchasing trends. Statistics Sweden is to release the official report at 8:30 GMT.
