Guidelines for central government debt management in 2013

The guidelines decision for 2013–2016 leaves the direction of central government debt policy unchanged. The debt shares and interest rate fixing periods for central government debt remain unchanged. Last year's guidelines decision signified an increased focus on robust management of the debt. This year the guidelines are being supplemented to state explicitly that the Debt Office is to take account of refinancing risks in the management of the debt. In addition, the long-term benchmark for the outstanding volume of instruments in nominal krona debt with maturities of more than twelve years is raised from SEK 60 to 70 billion.
