News 31 March 2016

The Swedish National Debt Office offers switches amounting to approximately SEK 6 billion in SGB IL 3104 (3.5%, 1 Dec 28) as a measure to decrease its share of the inflation-linked bond index. The switch auctions will take place on 22, 25 and 26 April.

In the first and second switch auction the Debt Office plans to sell SGB IL 3112 (0.125%, 1 Jun 26). These auctions will be made cash neutral[1]. In the third auction the Debt Office plans to sell SGB IL 3111 (0.125%, 1 Jun 32) in a price risk neutral[2] switch.

The bid yield on the buy-back bond SGB IL 3104 will be published on riksgalden.se/borrowing at 10:45 on the day of the auction.

Bids must be placed before 11.00 a.m. on the auction day. The results will be published at 11.03 or somewhat later. Bidding is only possible through primary dealers.

At the same time as this release is published, the Debt Office will temporarily stop selling SGB IL 3104 within the continuous switch facility for its primary dealers. No other inflation-linked bond in the switch facility will be affected. Meanwhile the Debt Office will continue to buy SGB IL 3104 in exchange for other inflation-linked bonds. When the above mentioned switch auctions are completed the Debt Office will resume selling SGB IL 3104 in exchange for other inflation-linked bonds. 

The Debt Office announced the plans to switch SGB IL 3104 in its publication Central Government Borrowing – Forecast and Analysis 2016:1.
