The Swedish sawn timber price index in November maintained the value of October.

In November, Sweden's lumber price index kept the level of the previous month which was 106.1% (base 100% = 2015). Since January, however, the index lost 8.6 points and, compared to the same period of the previous year, even 11.3 points.

According to Statistics Sweden, the lumber price index of November was 3.1 points higher than in 2017 and 6.4 higher than in November 2016.
