The Swedish National Debt Office submits an annual proposal for central government debt management. This year we are not proposing any changes in the current guidelines.
Accordingly, the proposal has the following target shares for the central government debt
The amortisation rate of the foreign currency debt in the proposal is SEK 40 billion with a possible deviation interval of SEK ±15 billion during 2008.
The benchmark for central government debt should be 4.8 years by end-2008.
Central government debt will decrease rapidly over the next few years due to the large expected budget surpluses. This will of course affect our operations.
The Debt Office will issue smaller volumes of government securities. Our assessment is that we will concentrate on nominal krona bonds.
The complete proposal is available at www.riksgalden.se
