Economic development

​economic progress in sweden was rapid for most of the postwar period. the average annual increase in gdp (grass domestic product) was 3.4% in 1950s and 4.6% in the 1960s. this strong growth was due to export successes. in the 1970s the average growth rate slowed down to 2.1%. in the last decade economic development improved and swedish industry began to recover from a recession.
​analysts tried to predict the economic development for the period between 1986 and 1995. they expected sweden’s annual growth rate of gnp about 2.3%.
