Surplus for Swedish central government in May
Press release 10 June 2013
Swedish central government payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 22.7 billion in May. This was SEK 4.8 billion lower than the Debt Office’s forecast. The difference is largely due to the Debt Office's net lending being higher than forecast.
Most of the deviation in the Debt Office's net lending is due to the Swedish Pensions Agency disbursing SEK 3.7 billion to pension savers concerning rebates on management fees and inheritance gains. In addition, the Nuclear Waste Fund reduced its deposits in the Debt Office.
Interest payments on central government debt amounted to SEK 3.4 billion, which was in line with the forecast.
For the twelve-month period up to the end of May 2013, central government payments resulted in a deficit of SEK 154.7 billion.
Central government debt amounted to SEK 1,211 billion at the end of May.
The outcome for June will be published on 5 July 2013, at 9:30 am.
New forecasts for 2013 and 2014 will be published on 18 June, at 9:30 am.
