Statistic Sweden (SCB) report that a higher price on crude oil
contributed foremost to the increase in import prices. On the export
market, higher prices for machinery and equipment contributed to the
upturn. A seasonally normal decrease in prices for district heating
contributed to the downturn on the domestic market.
