Swedish March consumer confidence indicator 15.4 vs 18.7 in Feb

The Swedish consumer confidence indicator fell to 15.4 in March from 18.7 in February, the National Institute of Economic Research (Konjunkturinstitutet) said.

'Households remain optimistic, but optimism declined somewhat, compared with the strong February measurement,' the Institute said.

Relative to February, both the Macro and the Micro index decreased. These indices respectively measure household expectations on the Swedish economy and on personal finances.

The Macro Index fell to 20.5 from 28.0, while the Micro Index fell to 12.6 from 13.9.
