Deficit for Swedish central government in June
Post# of 301275
Swedish central government payments resulted in a deficit of SEK 13.0 billion in June. The Debt Office's forecast was a deficit of SEK 17.5 billion. The difference is due to lower net lending to government agencies.
The Debt Office's net lending to government agencies was SEK 4.5 billion lower than calculated. This is explained by higher deposits from the Pensions Authority. It is largely due to monthly displacements that will not affect the full year.
Other central government payments were in line with the forecast.
For the twelve-month period up to the end of June 2017, central government payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 53.8 billion.
Central government debt amounted to SEK 1,310 billion at the end of June.
The outcome for July will be published on 7 August at 9.30 a.m.
