The outstanding long-term debt decreased by SEK 107 billion in December. The greater part of this decrease was observed in housing credit institutions, banks and non-financial enterprises, but borrowing in long-term debt securities decreased in all sectors. Bonds denominated in Swedish kronor accounted for SEK 23 billion of the decrease, nearly exclusively issued by housing credit institutions. Borrowing in bonds denominated in euros decreased by SEK 55 billion in December, of which SEK 17 billion is due to exchange rate changes, and the remaining SEK 38 billion is the net amount of new issues, maturity and repurchase. Long-term borrowing in euros decreased by SEK 34 billion among non-financial enterprises and by SEK 17 billion among banks. The value of bonds denominated in US dollars decreased by SEK 17 billion, despite new issues at a net value of SEK 1 billion, as a result of a decreased value of the US dollar against the Swedish krona in December. This decrease is most evident in the bank sector, in which borrowing in US dollars is the largest.

Short-term borrowing amounted to SEK 1 248 billion at the end of December, which is a decrease of SEK 45 billion since the previous month. The liability value in money market instruments denominated in US dollars decreased by SEK 86 billion, of which net maturity accounts for SEK 81 billion and exchange rate changes account for SEK 5 billion. The greatest net maturity was in the bank sector, at SEK 69 billion, followed by the sector Other monetary financial institutions, where net maturity in US dollar-denominated money market instruments was valued at SEK 9 billion.

Money market instruments denominated in Swedish kronor increased by SEK 18 billion, in particular as a result of an increase in Riksbank certificates. Short-term borrowing in British pounds increased by SEK 13 billion and in euros by SEK 8 billion, mainly as a result of net issues in the bank sector.
