The National Debt Office wants new guidelines where the part of the national debt consisting of so-called real bonds decreases, according to a press release.

Currently, 20 percent of the national debt should consist of so-called real bonds, where the state bears the risk of inflation. However, according to the National Debt Office, there are no longer any motives for such a large proportion of real debt.

"The proposal means that the outstanding volume of real bonds decreases from SEK 177 billion to approximately SEK 80 billion by the end of 2029," writes the National Debt Office.

The proposal is being presented ahead of the government's decision on the guidelines, which according to the budget law should come no later than November 15, and ahead of the presentation of a new report from the National Debt Office on the state's borrowing on November 28.

The National Debt Office also proposes a new measure for calculating the maturities of the national debt, but wants to keep the target interval for the maturity at 3.5-6 years.
