"Sentiment is stronger than normal across all sectors of the business sector, and in trade it is substantially stronger than normal. Firms' pricing plans continue to indicate price increases to a greater extent than is normally the case," NIER noted in a press release.
At the same time, the overall economic mood in Sweden is continuing to brighten.
NIER's economic tendency indicator rose to 107.1 in September, up from 105.1 in August. This marks the fifth consecutive month of growth for the metric.
Household confidence also saw a significant boost, climbing to 102.2 from 98.4 in August.
"The Consumer Confidence Indicator rose sharply in September and reached its highest level since December 2021," NIER wrote.
The report also highlighted positive developments in parts of the labour market.
"Overall, expectations regarding staff numbers point to an increase in the business sector's workforce over the next three months, though recruitment plans vary across sectors. Hiring intentions are stronger than usual in manufacturing and construction, but weaker than normal in retail," NIER wrote.
