Central government payments gave a surplus in February
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Swedish central government payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 43.9 billion in
February. The Debt Office's forecast was a surplus of SEK 45.4 billion. The
difference is mainly explained by tax revenue being lower than expected.
Tax revenue was SEK 5 billion lower than calculated. This was counteracted by
interest payments on central government debt being SEK 1.4 billion lower and the
Debt office's net lending to government agencies being SEK 1.6 billion lower
than forecast. Remaining central government payments largely developed in line
with the forecast.
The fact that the central government budget shows large surpluses in February
each year, is due to many tax payers making supplementary tax payments for the
previous income year.
For the twelve-month period up to the end of February, central government
payments resulted in a deficit of SEK 181 billion. Central government debt
amounted to SEK 1,111 billion at the end of February.
The outcome for March will be published at 9.30 am on 9 April 2010.
