Swedish borrowing requirement shrinks on Nordea sale
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The net borrowing requirement will be SEK 126 billion in 2013. That is SEK 57
billion lower than the June forecast from the Swedish National Debt Office. The
Government sales of Nordea shares, total value of SEK 41 billion, is the main
reason the net borrowing requirement is decreasing this year compared to the
previous forecast.
On-lending to the Riksbank amounts to SEK 106 billion of the total net borrowing
requirement in 2013. This is a decrease of SEK 3 billion compared with the
previous forecast.
- The net borrowing requirement will decline in the coming years as growth picks
up, says Hans Lindblad, Director General of the Swedish National Debt Office.
The Debt Office is expecting a cautious upswing in the economy over the next two
years, and GDP is expected to grow by 0.9 per cent this year, 2.4 per cent in
2014 and 2.7 per cent in 2015. This forecast is based on the assumption that
growth in Europe and the rest of the world will recover in the coming years.
