Surplus for Swedish central government in February
Press release 7 March 2017
Swedish central government payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 42.9 billion in February. The Debt Office’s forecast was a surplus of SEK 48.2 billion. The difference is mainly due to higher net lending to government agencies and slightly lower tax income than calculated.
Tax income was SEK 2 billion lower than forecast.
The Debt Office's net lending to government agencies was SEK 2.7 billion higher than calculated. The difference is mainly due to unexpected lending to the Nuclear Waste Fund.
Interest payments on central government debt were SEK 0.7 billion higher than calculated.
For the twelve-month period up to the end of February 2017, central government payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 74.8 billion.
Central government debt amounted to SEK 1,329 billion at the end of February.
The outcome for March will be published on 7 April at 9.30 a.m.
