Small changes in borrowing requirement
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Sweden's central government net borrowing requirement for 2013 will be SEK 183
billion, which is an increase of SEK 18 billion compared with the Debt Office's
previous forecast. Next year the borrowing requirement will be SEK 65 billion,
which is SEK 2 billion more than in the previous forecast. Borrowing in
government bonds remains unchanged.
Economic growth is still relatively modest. GDP will increase an estimated 1.5
per cent this year and 2.4 per cent in 2014.
- These are strong figures in relation to the rest of Europe. Growth ensures
that central government finances remain stable, says Hans Lindblad, Director
General of the Swedish National Debt Office.
The increase in the borrowing requirement is mainly due to the fact that the new
forecast includes SEK 10 billion more of on-lending to the Riksbank than the
previous forecast. At the end of May, the on-lending to the Riksbank's foreign-
exchange reserves totaled SEK 200 billion, which means that the Riksbank has now
used the entire facility.

Borrowing in government bonds remains at SEK 74 billion in 2013 and SEK 84
billion in 2014. The Debt Office will mainly issue in the ten-year maturity and
does not plan any auctions in longer maturities at present. The issue volume of
inflation-linked bonds will increase to SEK 15 billion per year in 2014.
