Central government payments gave a deficit
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Swedish central government payments resulted in a deficit of SEK 20.4 billion in
June, which is SEK 5.7 billion higher than The Debt Office's latest forecast.
The difference is mainly explained by displacements of payments between months
within the Debt Office's net lending and will thus not affect the annual
outcome.
Tax income was SEK 3.3 billion higher than calculated. The higher outcome is
partly due to variations in tax income betweens months. Furthermore, the re-
payments of excess tax were slightly lower than forecasted.
Interest payments on central government debt were SEK 1.9 billion, which is SEK
0.2 billion lower than calculated.
The Debt Office's net lending was SEK 8.8 billion higher than calculated. This
is explained by the fact that repo transactions* made by government agencies
were SEK 5.4 billion higher than expected. Other differences between outcome and
forecast are mainly due to higher lending to some authorities.
For the twelve-month period up to the end of June 2011, central government
payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 48 billion. Central government debt
amounted to SEK 1,060 billion at the end of June.
The outcome for July will be published at 9:30 am on 5 August 2011.

* Repo transactions by government agencies mean that they sell government
securities with a repurchase agreement. The payment of the repos must be
deposited in an account at the Debt Office. If the total volume of outstanding
repos change during the month compared to the previous turn of the month it will
affect the outcome of the borrowing requirement. We make forecasts of the repo
transactions on the basis of the information we receive from the government
agencies. However, the forecast are very uncertain since the government agencies
may alter their plans on a short notice.
