Guidelines for Central Government Debt Management in 2007

The Government decided, on November 9, 2006, the guidelines for central government debt management for 2007 to 2009. The amortisation rate in the foreign currency debt is being raised by SEK 15 billion to SEK 40 billion a year from 2007 to 2009. The chief reason for raising the rate is to continue reducing the risk posed by a large foreign currency debt and to reach the long-term goal for the proportion of foreign currency loans in the central government debt within a reasonable time. The Debt Office is responsible for the management of the central government debt within the framework of these guidelines.
