Surplus for Swedish central government in February 2021

Swedish central government payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 47.3 billion in February. The Debt Office's forecast was a surplus of SEK 53.1 billion. The lower surplus than expected is explained by delayed payments due to technical problems at a framework agreement bank.

The primary balance was SEK 7.8 billion lower than forecasted. Tax income were approximately SEK 1 billion lower than calculated. However, since tax incomes for SEK 21 billion that should have been paid to the Debt Office on the last banking day of the month were delayed due to technical problems at a framework agreement bank, this amount does not affect the budget balance for February but for March. Central government expenditure was approximately SEK 14 billion lower than forecasted, mainly due to lower payments from the National Board of Health and Welfare, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency and the Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency.

The Debt Office’s net lending to government agencies etc. were SEK 1.9 billion lower than forecasted.

Interest payments on central government debt were in line with the forecast.

For the twelve-month period up to the end of February 2021, central government payments resulted in a deficit of SEK 221.4 billion.

Central government debt amounted to SEK 1 222 billion at the end of February.

The outcome for March 2021 will be published on 9 April at 9.30 a.m.

New forecasts for 2021 and 2022 will be published on 27 May at 9.30 a.m.
