Swedish central government payments resulted in a surplus of SEK 0.3 billion in July. The Debt Office's forecast was a deficit of SEK 5.0 billion.
The central government's primary borrowing requirement, excluding net lending, was SEK 6.9 billion lower than forecast. The difference is explained by tax income being higher than estimated.
The Debt Office's net lending to government agencies was SEK 1.3 billion higher than calculated, which is mainly due to lower deposits from the Swedish Pensions Agency.
Interest payments on central government debt amounted to SEK 0.7 billion, which was SEK 0.2 billion higher than forecast.
For the twelve-month period up to the end of July 2015, central government payments resulted in a deficit of SEK 75.3 billion.
Central government debt amounted to SEK 1,381 billion at the end of July 2015.
The outcome for August will be published on 7 September 2015, at 9:30 am.
