Debt Management
The Debt Management department is responsible for the government’s debt and liquidity management. We issue government bonds and other securities purchased by banks, funds, insurance companies and other investors in Sweden and abroad. We manage the government’s daily liquidity and currency transactions. The objective of the debt management is to minimize the long-term costs of the government debt while considering risks.
Klas Granlund
Head of Debt Management
We are 33 people working in four units and a staff: Analysis, Business Support and Development, Funding and Debt Management Back Office.
We strive to communicate in a transparent and predictable manner and to maintain good relationships with our investors. A broad investor base contributes to lower borrowing costs in the long term and valuable feedback on our business. We also work with international organisations such as the EU, OECD, IMF and the World Bank. This enables us to share our experiences with debt managers and other participants in the financial markets.
