Institution: Sweden's weak economic data highlights the need to further loosen monetary policy. Torbjorn Isaksson, chief analyst of Nordic United Bank, said that the weak economic data in October highlighted the fragility of Sweden's recovery and needed to further loosen monetary policy to support growth. He said that the decline occurred after the sharp decline in September, indicating that the fourth quarter started very weakly. Isaksson said that household consumption fell by 0.3% in the month, which was disappointing and would be a concern of the Swedish central bank. At the same time, the production of the commercial sector decreased by 0.8% in that month, the production of the construction sector increased, and the manufacturing orders remained basically unchanged.
