Surplus for Swedish central government in April
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Swedish central government payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 4.3 billion in
April. The Debt Office's forecast was a surplus of SEK 0.1 billion. The
difference is due to lower disbursements and lower net lending to government
agencies than calculated.
Disbursements were lower partly due to the fact that some agencies had made
payments in advance in March. Tax income was in line with forecast.
The Debt Office's net lending to government agencies was SEK 1.8 billion lower
than calculated. This is due to higher deposits from primarily the Nuclear Waste
Fund and the Pensions Agency.
Interest payments on central government debt were SEK 0.1 billion higher than
calculated.
For the twelve-month period up to the end of April 2017, central government
payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 46.6 billion.
Central government debt amounted to SEK 1,307 billion at the end of April.
The outcome for May will be published on 8 June at 9.30 a.m.
