The value on the short-term debt denominated in SEK increased by SEK 100 billion. SEK 86 billion is due to an increased volym in Riksbank certificates and SEK 10 billion is due to newly issued government certificates. The short-term debt security denominated in foreign currency decreased by SEK 6 billion during October. Most of the decrease was due to maturity in corporate certificates issued in EUR.

It is mainly the government sector, housing sector and non-financial and other non-financial institutions that are behind the increased liability in bonds. The government's long-term liability increased by SEK 34 billion during October, due to newly issued government bonds in SEK worth SEK 7 billion net and bonds denominated in USD for SEK 21 billion net. During October, housing sector bonds denominated in SEK were issued for SEK 21 billion net and corporate bonds denominated in SEK and EUR for SEK 7 and SEK 6 billion net respectively.
