Surplus for Swedish central government in September
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Swedish central government payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 8.4 billion in
September. The Debt Office's forecast was a deficit of SEK 7.6 billion. The
difference is explained by higher tax income as well as lower disbursements.
Tax income was approximately SEK 8 billion higher than calculated. At the same
time, central government spending was approximately SEK 6 billion lower than
forecast.
The Debt Office's net lending to government agencies was SEK 2.2 billion lower
than calculated. This was primarily due to higher deposits from the Swedish
Export Credit 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 September 2017, central government
payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 50.8 billion.
Central government debt amounted to SEK 1,240 billion at the end September.
The outcome for October will be published on 7 November at 9.30 a.m. On 25
October the Debt Office will publish new forecasts for the Swedish economy and
central government borrowing.
