The economy of Malmö was traditionally based on shipbuilding ([[Kockums]]) and construction-related industries, such as concrete factories. The region's leading university, along with its associated hi-tech and pharmaceutical industries, is located in [[Lund]] about {{convert|16|km|0|abbr=off}} to the north-east.

Malmö had a troubled economic situation following the mid-1970s. Between 1990 and 1995, 27,000 jobs were lost, and the budget deficit was more than one billion [[Swedish krona]] (SEK). In 1995, Malmö had Sweden's highest unemployment rate.<ref>{{Cite report|first1=Alexandru |last1=Panican |first2= Håkan |last2=Johansson |first3=Max |last3=Koch |first4=Anna |last4= Angelin |date=2013 |title=The local arena for combating poverty Malmö, Sweden |series=Combating Poverty in Europe (COPE): Re-organising Active Inclusion through Participatory and Integrated Modes of Multilevel Governance |url=https://www.lunduniversity.lu.se/lup/publication/c992b1e9-a000-48d2-8af4-e8ca4db1129a|publisher=Lund University |access-date=17 November 2020 |archive-date=24 December 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201224060414/http://cope-research.eu/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/COPE_WP6_Sweden_Malm%C3%B6.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>

However, during the last two decades, there has been a revival. One contributing factor has been the economic integration with [[Denmark]] brought about by the [[Öresund Bridge]], which opened in July 2000.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Øresundsbron|url=https://www.oresundsbron.com/en/node/6738|access-date=14 March 2021|website=www.oresundsbron.com|archive-date=15 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180815150453/https://www.oresundsbron.com/en/node/6738|url-status=live}}</ref> Also the university founded in 1998 and the effects of integration into the [[European Union]] have contributed. In 2017 the unemployment rate was still high. However, in the last 20 years{{clarify timeframe|date=February 2022}} Malmö has had one of the strongest employment growth rates in Sweden, although a high proportion of jobs created are taken by workers from outside
