Deficit for Swedish central government in June
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Swedish central government payments resulted in a deficit of SEK 6.4 billion in
June. This is SEK 28.7 billion lower than the Debt Office's forecast. The
difference is largely due to the government selling shares in Nordea for SEK
19.5 billion. In addition, on-lending to the Riksbank decreased and tax income
was higher.
In June, the government sold 260 million shares in Nordea. The sales income
amounted to SEK 19.5 billion and was not included in the Debt Office's latest
forecast.
The on-lending to the Riksbank declined by SEK 5 billion, while tax income was
just over SEK 4 billion higher than estimated.
Interest payments on central government debt amounted to SEK 2.0 billion, which
was SEK 0.1 billion higher than forecast.
For the twelve-month period up to the end of June 2013, central government
payments resulted in a deficit of SEK 133.0 billion.
Central government debt amounted to SEK 1,203 billion at the end of June.
Updated forecast for 2013
The sale of shares in Nordea was announced after the publishing of the Debt
Office's latest annual forecast. Therefore the forecast for the net borrowing
requirement in 2013 is revised from SEK 183 billion to SEK 163 billion due the
sales income.
The effect of the Nordea sale on the funding requirement was announced in a
press release on June 19. The Debt Office maintains the auction volume in
government bonds at SEK 3.5 billion also in 2014. Borrowing in foreign currency
for the state's own part decreases by just over SEK 6 billion in 2013. Borrowing
in T-bills is reduced by about SEK 5 billion during the forecast period. The
central government debt is about SEK 20 billion lower for both 2013 and 2014
than in the previous forecast.

The outcome for July will be published on 7 August 2013, at 9:30 am.
