Sweden as an issuer
Swedish government securities are in demand because they have low credit risk and are relatively easy to trade in the market. The low credit risk is due to Sweden being a stable country with an established fiscal policy framework.
As an issuer, the central government of Sweden has the highest credit rating, which means that the securities issued by the Debt Office are considered a very safe investment. The high rating is due to, among other things, Sweden’s fiscal policy framework, which includes:
- a cap on central government expenditure
- a target for general government net lending
- an anchor for public debt.
The Debt Office’s strategies for contributing to making Swedish government securities attractive to investors include focusing on:
- promoting liquidity and market infrastructure
- communicating clearly and acting predictably.
The strategies as well as our implementation are evaluated annually through a survey of our primary dealers and investors.
