Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/25/2013 -- Sweden's status as an open trade-oriented economy means that weak European demand poses significant downside risks to Swedish growth.

We are becoming increasingly optimistic towards the fortunes of the Swedish economy, after several quarters of acute weakness, with private consumption remaining one of the key drivers of growth.

Sweden is among the best positioned developed economies in the world, with a highly productive workforce, a fiscal surplus and a stable banking system.
