Surplus for Swedish central government in August
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Swedish central government payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 21.1 billion in
August. The Debt Office's forecast was a surplus of SEK 11.1 billion. The
difference is partly explained by a one-off payment that was made earlier than
expected, but also by slightly higher tax income and lower disbursements.
The central government's primary borrowing requirement, excluding net lending,
was SEK 9.6 billion lower than forecast. The difference is partly explained by
payment displacements. In August Specialfastigheter AB returned SEK 2.1 billion
to the government through a reduction of the share capital. This payment was in
the forecast for October. In addition, tax income was slightly higher than
forecast, while disbursements from among others the Swedish Transport
Administration and Sida were lower than expected.
The Debt Office's net lending to government agencies was SEK 1.3 billion lower
than calculated, which is mainly due to higher deposits from the Swedish
Pensions Agency.
Interest payments on central government debt amounted to SEK 4.0 billion, which
was SEK 0.9 billion higher than forecast.
For the twelve-month period up to the end of August 2015, central government
payments resulted in a deficit of SEK 65.9 billion.
Central government debt amounted to SEK 1,366 billion at the end of August 2015.
The outcome for September will be published on 7 October 2015, at 9:30 am.
