Surplus for Swedish central government in July
Press release 5 August 2016
Swedish central government payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 3.7 billion in July. The Debt Office’s forecast was a deficit of SEK 1.7 billion. The difference is mainly due to larger tax income.
The outcome of the Debt Office's net lending was SEK –3.9 billion and interest payments on central government debt amounted to SEK –0.2 billion, which was in line with forecast.
For the twelve-month period up to the end of July 2016, central government payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 56 billion.
Central government debt amounted to SEK 1,311 billion at the end of July.
The outcome for August will be published on 7 September at 9.30 a.m.
