Sweden industrial orders increased 32.8%

Swedish industrial orders increased by a whopping 32.8 percent in the month of September compared to the same period last year.

Statistics Sweden has reported that the Sweden's orders for industry went up 22.3 percent in September compared to the figures in August. The strong development is mainly due to the very large orders on the export markets for transport equipment, which is a sub-sector that can be expected to extend for a few more years.
