STOCKHOLM, June 22 (Reuters) – Sweden’s economy will grow more slowly than previously expected, hit by the effects of inflation and the war in Ukraine, the government said in a new forecast published on Wednesday.
Gross domestic product is expected to grow 1.9%, the Finance Ministry said compared with the 3.1% predicted in the previous forecast in April.
GDP growth was seen at 1.1% in 2023, down from 1.6% seen previously.
