The Swedish central government cash flow in July gave a surplus of SEK 1.9 billion. This is 1.2 billion less than the Debt Office's forecast for July.
The primary surplus (all central government payments excluding interest payments) was SEK 3.9 billion. This is 1.2 billion less than estimated. The deviation is primarily explained by higher than expected repayment of taxes.
Interest payments on central government debt were SEK 1.9 billion, which is as expected.
The borrowing requirement for the twelve-month period up to the end of July was SEK -35 billion. The government debt was SEK 1,218 billion at the end of July.
The outcome of the central government borrowing requirement for August will be published at 9.30 am on September 7, 2006.
