Data showed that the consumer price index with a fixed interest rate, or CPIF, also increased at a faster pace of 2.9 percent annually in February versus 2.2 percent growth in the prior month. The expected rate was 2.7 percent.

Moreover, the inflation was well above the Riksbank's target of 2.0 percent.

The detailed result for the month of February is set to publish on March 13.
