Deficit for Swedish central government in June

Läs på svenska

Press release 7 July 2015

Swedish central government payments resulted in a deficit of SEK 33.5 billion in June. The Debt Office’s forecast was a deficit of SEK 33.0 billion.

The central government's primary borrowing requirement, excluding net lending, was SEK 1.1 billion lower than forecast. That is because tax income was SEK 2 billion higher than calculated, but it was partially offset by slightly higher disbursements from central government agencies.

The Debt Office's net lending to government agencies was SEK 2.0 billion higher than calculated, which is mainly due to lower deposits from the Swedish Pensions Agency.

Interest payments on central government debt amounted to SEK 1.3 billion, which was SEK 0.5 billion lower than forecast.

For the twelve-month period up to the end of June 2015, central government payments resulted in a deficit of SEK 79.4 billion.

Central government debt amounted to SEK 1,383 billion at the end of June 2015.

The outcome for July will be published on 7 August 2015, at 9:30 am.
