Surplus for Swedish central government in September

October 7, 2015 3:31 AM EDT

Swedish central government payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 4.8 billion in September. The Debt Office's forecast was a deficit of SEK 0.9 billion. The difference is explained by an extra dividend from SJ AB and lower disbursements from central government agencies.

Payments to the Swedish central government were higher than forecast in September since SJ AB at an extra general meeting on September 25 decided to distribute SEK 1.7 billion to the state. In addition, the EU contribution and disbursements from, for example, the Swedish National Agency for Education and the CSN were lower than expected.

The Debt Office's net lending to government agencies was SEK 0.2 billion higher than calculated.  

Interest payments on central government debt were SEK 0.2 billion lower than forecast.

For the twelve-month period up to the end of September 2015, central government payments resulted in a deficit of SEK 53.1 billion.

Central government debt amounted to SEK 1,355 billion at the end of September 2015.

The outcome for October will be published on 6 November 2015, at 9:30 am.
