Swedish government borrowing unaffected by Riksbank's purchase of government bonds
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The Swedish National Debt Office wants to clarify that the Riksbank's planned
buying of government bonds will not affect the government's borrowing plans or
the volumes of government bonds that will be issued. This is the case even if
the Riksbank, at a later time, would decide to increase the amount purchased.
The Debt Office's mission is to finance the central government's deficit and
manage the government debt. The goal of the debt management is to minimize long-
term costs taking risk into account. The Riksbank's planned purchases of
government bonds do not affect the government's financing needs or the policy
for debt management.
Background
The Riksbank has decided to buy government bonds for SEK 10 billion. The
Riksbank will not buy the bonds directly from the Debt Office but in the
secondary market in an auction format. For more information, see the Riksbank's
website:
