Deficit for Swedish central government in September 2020Swedish central government payments resulted in a deficit of SEK 13.1 billion in September. The Debt Office’s forecast was a deficit of SEK 37.6 billion.

Tax income were approximately SEK 7 billion higher than estimated. Tax income from companies and wages were higher than expected in September.The Debt Office had calculated that the payments for the reorientation support for companies would amount to SEK 13 billion in September. The outcome was significantly lower, just over SEK 1 billion. Payments for short-term work allowance were SEK 3 billion lower than calculated and payments of local government grants SEK 5 billion lower in September than forecasted. However, the extra grants to local governments were paid out already in July, which means that it is a redistribution between months.The Debt Office’s net lending to government agencies etc. were in line with the forecast.Interest payments on central government debt were in line with the forecast.For the twelve-month period up to the end of September 2020, central government payments resulted in a deficit of SEK 140.4 billion.Central government debt amounted to SEK 1 210 billion at the end of September.New forecasts on central government finances and borrowing 2020-2022 will be published on October 21, at 09.30.The outcome for October 2020 will be published on 6 November at 9.30 a.m.ContactPress Secretary, +46 (0)8 613 47 01More data on the borrowing requirement and government debt:https://www.riksgalden.se/en/statistics/statistics-on-central-government-borrowing/The monthly outcome of the central government net borrowing requirement is included in the official statistics of Sweden.The Debt Office published their latest prognosis on the Swedish economy and central government borrowing on 19 May: Central Government borrowing 2020:2. AttachmentSweden’s central government debt September 2020
