WRI’s assessment
Sweden’s Logistics Growth Index advanced to 55.9 in September, gaining 0.4 points to rank first among sixteen European economies. All ten sub-indices registered expansion, with the headline reading surpassing its three-month average of 55.5.
“Shoppers and factories drove Sweden’s gain: retail sales hit a record while factory production and orders picked up. That heavier flow of goods carried through to warehouses and freight, and post-election uncertainty only slightly tempered improving business sentiment.”
