During the first quarter of 2025, the current account surplus amounts to SEK 119.3 billion, an increase of SEK 34.3 billion compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase is driven primarily by a decrease in primary income on the import side of SEK 29.5 billion, but also due to an increase in the trade balance.
