A forecast, but with data up to November 2020, which means it's probably not gonna change substantially when we have the full year data:

So, Sweden is third least affected country in that list. It's missing Norway and Finland, though, but a quick google shows Norway at -3.5% and Finland at -4.0%, both worse than Sweden.

At the same time, the covid-19 deaths in Sweden is pretty close to the EU average, now, after the winter surge:

The obvious conclusion of that data is that lockdowns destroy your economy, but don't actually save lives.
