Central government payments gave a surplus in April
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Swedish central government payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 38.0 billion in
April. The Debt Offices forecast was a surplus of SEK 20.9 billion. The
difference is mainly explained by lower lending to the Riksbank due to maturing
loans. The loans that matured were refinanced last month which then led the
surplus being lower than expected.
In April the Swedish Government participated in TeliaSonera's repurchasing
program, which generated SEK 3.7 billion in divestments. Furthermore, a cashing
of the retirement debt of the Civil Aviation Administration was carried out due
to the conversion of the state enterprise into an independent subsidiary
company. This led to revenues of SEK 1.8 billion.
The Debt Office's net lending to authorities etc. was SEK 11.1 billion lower
than calculated. This is mainly explained by decreased lending to the Riksbank
of SEK 13 billion due to loans maturing. The decreased lending corresponds with
the increased lending of SEK 12 billion in March.
For the twelve-month period up to the end of April 2011, central government
payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 34 billion. Central government debt
amounted to SEK 1,031 billion at the end of April.
The outcome for May will be published at 9:30 am on 9 June 2011.
