The Swedish central government budget showed a surplus of SEK 103 billion in 2007. This is an increase of SEK 85 billion compared with 2006. This change is mainly due to sales income, large share dividends and a restrained development of expenditure. Moreover, there was a sharp decrease in the Debt Office's net lending to government agencies. The central government debt decreased by SEK 102 billion to SEK 1,168 billion at the turn of the year.
