The outcome of the primary borrowing requirement (all government payments except interest payments) was a surplus of SEK 3.0 billion, which is SEK 0.5 billion less than projected. Interest payments on the central government debt in June were SEK 1 billion less than expected. The lower interest payments in June will result in higher payments in July and thus not affect the yearly forecast.
For the twelve-month period ending June 30, the borrowing requirement amounted to SEK 41.8 billion. The central government debt amounted to SEK 1,231 billion at the end of June 2004.
The outcome of central government borrowing requirement for July will be published on August 6, 2004, at 9.30 a.m.
