About The New Climate Economy (NCE) is the flagship project of the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, a major new international initiative to analyse and communicate the economic risks and opportunities that arise from climate change. The Commission comprises former heads of government, finance ministers and leaders in the fields of economics, business and finance and is chaired by former Mexican President Felipe Calderón.

The New Climate Economy project will report in September 2014 in advance of the United Nations Secretary General's Climate Summit. It will make recommendations to government, business and financial leaders on how stronger economic growth can be combined with tackling climate risk.

The project is being conducted by a partnership of leading research institutions based in the China, Ethiopia, India, South Korea, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. Its work will be overseen by an advisory panel of world-leading economists chaired by Lord Nicholas Stern and including the Nobel Laureates Daniel Kahneman and Michael Spence. It was commissioned by a group of seven countries - Colombia, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Korea, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

New Climate Economy research in Sweden The Stockholm Environment Institute is one of the core eight research institutes of the New Climate Economy project. Stockholm Environment Institute leads the work on energy systems and contributes to the analyses of air pollution and sustainable cities. The aim of the research conducted for the project is to help decision makers understand how they can meet their core economic and social objectives, while also taking action on climate change.

Felipe Calderón Felipe Calderón was President of Mexico from 2006 to 2012. Among other achievement his government pushed through structural reforms to modernize the Mexican economy in key areas, such as public pensions, tax, the energy sector and universal healthcare. During his period in office Mexico positioned itself as a global leader in fighting climate change: President Calderón presided over the successful UN climate conference in Cancun in 2010 and saw the passing of a comprehensive Climate Change Act in 2012. Felipe Calderón is current Honorary Chairman of the Green Growth Action Alliance, as well as President of the Sustainable Human Development Foundation and a Member of the Board of Directors of the World Resources Institute.

Press release 14 November 2013 Ministry of Finance Guidelines for central government debt management in 2014 Today the Government adopted guidelines for the management of the central government debt. The direction of debt policy remains unchanged. The debt shares and interest rate refixing periods for central government debt remain unchanged.

"Low market interest rates and Sweden's strong central government finances have meant that borrowing costs have fallen to record low levels in recent years," says Minister for Financial Markets Peter Norman. Related For 2012 the interest costs on central government debt were SEK 18 billion. This can be compared with the Report: Guidelines for central interest costs on central government debt in the 1990s, which amounted to more than SEK 100 billion per government debt management year. 2014

The basis for the Government's decision on the guidelines is that the central government debt is to be managed in such a way as to minimise the long-term cost of this debt while taking account of the risk in its management.

The Government chooses to wait to change the model for steering the currency debt. The Debt Office has proposed that the currency debt may be up to 15 per cent of the total central government debt, instead of having a benchmark of 15 per cent as at present. Before considering any change, the Government wants to wait for the findings of the Review of Central Government Debt Policy, as well as a decision on the report on the Riksbank's financial independence and balance sheet. From a cost perspective it is not a disadvantage to retain the present currency share for the time being either.

To reduce the risk of losses in position-taking operations the mandate for positions in foreign currencies is reduced from SEK 450 million to SEK 300 million, measured as daily Value-at-Risk with a 95 per cent probability.

Central government debt less than half of the EU average The unconsolidated central government debt was SEK 1 201 billion (33 per cent of GDP) on 31 October 2013. Comparisons of the public indebtedness of EU countries use general government consolidated gross debt (the Maastricht debt). For Sweden the Maastricht debt was 38 per cent of GDP at the end of 2012. At the same point in time the corresponding debt ratio for the EU as a whole was 87 per cent and for the Euro zone it was 93 per cent.

The overall objective of debt policy is to minimise the long-term cost of the central government debt while taking account of the risk in its management. The debt is to be managed within the framework of monetary policy requirements. The Government primarily steers the expected cost and risk of the central government debt by adopting guidelines for the composition and maturity of the debt. The Government adopts these guidelines following a proposal from the National Debt Office. The National Debt Office is responsible for the operational management of the central government debt within these guidelines. Central government borrowing and debt management are evaluated every second year in a government communication to the (Swedish Parliament). The next evaluation will be put before the Riksdag in April 2014.

Guidelines for the composition of the central government debt Foreign currency debt: 15 per cent Index-linked debt: 25 per cent Nominal krona debt: 60 per cent (residual).

Guidelines for maturities for the central government debt Foreign currency debt: Interest rate refixing period of 0.125 years Index-linked debt: interest rate refixing period of 7-10 years Nominal krona debt: - instruments with a maturity of up to 12 years: interest rate refixing period of 2.7-3.2 years - instruments with a maturity of more than 12 years: benchmark value SEK 70 billion.

Press release 15 November 2012 Ministry of Finance Guidelines for central government debt management in 2013 Today the Government decided on guidelines for central government debt management. The direction of debt policy remains unchanged. The Government's decision places more focus on the robustness of the debt by emphasising refinancing risks and increasing long-term financing to some extent.

The Government's forecast points to a declining central government debt. However, there is still great uncertainty about international economic developments. The Government is therefore maintaining a stronger focus on keeping risks down in the management of the debt. This is being done by supplementing the Related guidelines so that they state explicitly that the Debt Office is to take account of refinancing risks in the management of the central government debt. In addition, the long-term benchmark for the outstanding Report: Guidelines for central volume of instruments in nominal krona debt with maturities of more than twelve years is raised from SEK 60 government debt management to 70 billion. 2013

"Sweden's central government finances are strong from both a historical and an international perspective. This is reflected in the historically low interest rates for Swedish government securities. Strong public finances and low costs for the central government debt create the scope for important long-term investments for jobs and growth," says Minister for Financial Markets Peter Norman.

The development of central government debt and an international comparison At the start of 2012 the unconsolidated central government debt was SEK 1158 billion. The debt is expected to fall to SEK 928 billion at the end of 2016. This means that as a proportion of GDP the debt will fall from 33 to 21 per cent.

Comparisons of the public indebtedness of EU countries use general government consolidated gross debt (the Maastricht debt). For Sweden the Maastricht debt as a proportion of GDP was greatest in 1996 when this proportion was 73.3 per cent. Since then this debt ratio has been almost halved to reach 38.4 per cent at the end of 2011. For the EU as a whole the corresponding debt ratio was 82.5 per cent at the end of 2011, when it was 87.2 per cent for the Euro area.

Press release 25 November 2011 Ministry of Finance Proposal on higher capital adequacy requirements to reduce vulnerability of the Swedish economy The Government is to propose higher capital adequacy requirements for systemically important banks in an effort to strengthen the stability of the Swedish banking system and reduce the vulnerability of the Swedish economy. The proposal, which is based on assessments from the Riksbank (Swedish central bank) and Finansinspektionen (the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority), means that the banks are to have core Tier 1 capital equivalent to at least 10 per cent of risk-weighted assets in 2013 and 12 per cent of risk-weighted assets in 2015. A more detailed presentation will be given at a press conference later today.

"Financial crises pose a serious threat to jobs, growth and welfare. The upcoming proposal will reduce this threat and make Sweden less vulnerable to risk-taking by the banks," says Minister for Financial Markets Peter Norman.

Financial stability is a prerequisite for a functioning national economy for jobs and welfare. Sweden has Europe's third-largest banking system in relation to GDP, which makes Sweden more vulnerable to financial unrest. A financial crisis, in which the state is forced to act to maintain stability in the financial system, therefore risks becoming more costly for Sweden compared with other countries. To reduce the risk of tax-payers having to foot the bill for irresponsible risk-taking by the banks, the aim is to increase stability.

The new regulatory framework (Basel III) being introduced at a global level includes increased capital adequacy requirements for the banks. But, given Sweden's vulnerable position with a large and concentrated banking sector - factors that are not taken into consideration in the Basel III framework - the Government, Riksbank and Finansinspektionen are of the view that resilience to crises must increase further. Therefore the capital adequacy requirements for Swedish banks should be set higher and be introduced earlier than is set out in Basel III.

The core Tier 1 capital requirement on the four large systemically important banks - Nordea, Swedbank, SEB och Handelsbanken - should be increased to 10 per cent of risk-weighted assets, effective 2013. The requirement then increases to 12 per cent in 2015, five percentage points higher than Basel III.

"We will follow the banks' handling of the new capital adequacy requirements closely. It is not reasonable for banks to use the proposal on increased capital adequacy requirements and increased stability as a pretext to burden households and businesses," says Minister for Financial Markets Peter Norman.

Today, the Swedish banks are profitable and well-capitalised. It should be possible to adapt to the new requirements without affecting the terms and conditions of banking services for households and businesses to any great extent.

To ensure this, Finansinspektionen is to be given a mandate to monitor the banks' adaptation to the new regulations. The focus of this monitoring will include lending and mortgage margins.

The tougher requirements should enter into force on 1 January 2013. However, the implementation is affected both by ongoing negotiations at EU level and by stability in the Swedish financial system. Should the system be affected by a serious disturbance, the Government is prepared to postpone the entry into force of the higher level until after 2015.

To reduce the risk of financial crises and to ensure that future crises are less costly, the Government has created a framework for financial stability. It consists of a strengthened regulatory framework for banks, improved supervision and a more effective crisis management framework. Higher capital adequacy requirements are expected to further strengthen the framework for stability.

Press conference Minister for Financial Markets Peter Norman, together with State Secretary Johanna Lybeck Lilja, will give a more detailed presentation at a press conference later today. Martin Andersson, Director-General of Finansinspektionen, and Mattias Persson of the Riksbank, will also participate.

Please bring your press credentials. We look forward to seeing you. Contact Victoria Ericsson Press Secretary to Peter Norman +46 8 405 58 62 +46 76 128 93 45 email to Victoria Ericsson, via the Senior Registry Clerk Markus Sjöqvist Press Secretary to Peter Norman +46 8 405 10 00 Press release 14 November 2011 Ministry of Finance Guidelines for central government debt management in 2012 The Government has decided the guidelines for central government debt management. In these guidelines, the Government puts increased focus on robustness and the refinancing risk in debt management. Borrowing in long maturities will therefore increase. In the coming years the central government debt is expected to decline from about SEK 1 100 billion to about SEK 850 billion in 2015, but there is considerable uncertainty.

Uncertainty about international economic developments is greater than ever before. The Government therefore considers it desirable to exercise greater vigilance over the refinancing risks in the central government debt, that is to say, the risks that emerge when the state rolls over its loans. Its aim is to increase Related borrowing in long maturities so that more loans than before fall due at a later date. Report: Guidelines for central government debt management - Thanks to its strong starting position, Sweden will have stronger government finances than most countries 2012 even if international developments worsen. This gives the Debt Office favourable conditions for continuing to finance the central government debt at a low cost, says Peter Norman, Minister for Financial Markets.

The Government has decided on the following changes in the guidelines A benchmark of SEK 60 billion will be introduced for maturities in nominal krona bonds exceeding twelve years. How rapidly this new benchmark will be reached has to be weighed against what demand there is for long bonds and what it will cost and what risk is associated with borrowing in other maturities. The benchmark replaces the current ceiling of SEK 65 billion. There is currently SEK 40 billion outstanding in nominal bonds with a maturity exceeding twelve years. The Government will also increase flexibility in the control of the maturity of the nominal krona debt shorter than twelve years and the inflation-linked krona debt. The changes are being made to reduce costs and increase the Debt Office's options for handling unforeseen swings in the government borrowing requirement. The Debt Office's mandate for positions in Swedish kronor will be lowered from SEK 50 to SEK 15 billion. The mandate will thus return to its level before the financial crisis of 2008/2009.

In the light of the Government's increased focus on robust management of the central government debt, the Debt Office will be given a remit to review how the guidelines can to a greater extent take the refinancing risks in debt management into account. Its findings are to be presented in next year's guidelines proposal.

Guidelines for the composition of the debt Foreign currency debt: 15 per cent Inflation-linked debt: 25 per cent Nominal krona debt: 60 per cent (residual)

Guidelines on maturities for the debt Foreign currency debt: interest rate refixing period of 0.125 years Inflation-linked debt: interest rate refixing period of 7-10 years Nominal krona debt: - instruments with a maturity of up to twelve years: interest rate refixing period of 2.7-3.2 years - instruments with a maturity exceeding twelve years: benchmark of SEK 60 billion

The central government debt is expected to decline Towards the end of 2011, the unconsolidated debt is expected to come to SEK 1 100 billion and then decline to SEK 835 billion towards the end of 2015. Thus the government debt to GDP ratio is estimated to fall from 32 to 21 per cent.

When the debt ratio peaked in the middle of the 1990s, it had reached 77 per cent, which is about the same as the current average for EU countries' consolidated general government gross debt (80 per cent at the end of 2010). Swedish government finances are thus strong in both a historical and an international perspective. This is reflected in the historically low interest rates on Swedish government securities, both in kronor and in foreign currencies. Background The overall goal of central government debt policy is to minimise the cost of the central government debt in the long run while taking the risk involved in its management into account. The Government controls the expected cost and risk primarily by deciding guidelines for composition and maturity. The Government decides on the guidelines after receiving proposals from the Debt Office. The Debt Office is responsible for the operational management of the central government debt within the framework of these guidelines.

On 31 October 2011, the unconsolidated central government debt amounted to SEK 1 012 billion.

In this context, the objective of the EU-wide stress test carried out across 91 banks for the period 2011-2012 is to assess the resilience of the EU banking system to adverse shocks.

It should be noted that the stress test, which is a regular element of the supervisory toolkit, is not a forecast. The purpose of the stress test is to provide a means to assess the resilience of participating banks to solvency pressures under a plausible but unlikely scenario of stress. In this way, the test results provide a measure of External links whether banks are sufficiently capitalised to weather adverse economic and financial conditions that go well beyond the likely outcomes. Pressmeddelande: Europeiskt stresstest visar god motståndskraft i svenska In Sweden, four banks, namely Handelsbanken, Nordea, SEB and Swedbank, have participated in the EU-wide banker stress test. The Ministry of Finance acknowledges the results of the test and welcomes the enhanced Swedish Financial Supervisory transparency in the publication of the test results and in the disclosure of the sovereign exposures of Authority participating banking groups. The results of the test indicate that all of these banks are adequately capitalised, European Banking Authority with CT1 ratios significantly above the 5% benchmark under the stress scenario.

Sweden is committed to safeguard financial stability and to contribute to further enhancing the resilience of the banking sector as part of a comprehensive EU-wide strategy. Through the support act and stabilisation fund the Government can act forcefully in order to manage different situations that may arise. All public support measures will comply fully with EU state-aid rules and will be conditional on the bank(s) submitting a comprehensive restructuring plan including a clear path aiming to restore viability. Furthermore, such support will be contingent to compensation and adequate remuneration and recovery of public funds used, or to the ownership rights in the bank(s) concerned.

Press release 11 November 2010 Ministry of Finance Guidelines for central government debt management in 2011 The Government today decided that the guidelines for the composition of the central government debt will remain unchanged. In the next three years, the central government debt is expected to decline from about SEK 1 200 billion in 2010 to about SEK 1 000 billion in 2013. Thus the government debt-to-GDP ratio will fall from 36 to 26 per cent.

"Swedish government finances are strong, both in a historical and an international perspective", says Peter Norman, Minister for Financial Markets. "The Government sees no reason to change the debt policy in the current situation. Future decisions on a possible change in the central government debt policy stance will be Related made, inter alia, against the background of the National Debt Office's analysis of the debt's composition and maturity, which will be presented in September 2011". Report: Guidelines for central government debt management 2010 However, the Government has decided on some minor changes in the guidelines for 2011:

Control of the maturity of the inflation-linked debt will be made more flexible by stating the benchmark for the maturity as an interval instead of a fixed value (8-10 years instead of 8.7 years). The nominal krona debt's maturity will be shortened from 3.2 to 3.1 years for operational reasons. The Debt Office will thus be given more latitude in handling unforeseen swings in the government borrowing requirement. The mandate for strategic positions in the krona exchange rate is unchanged at SEK 50 billion.

Guidelines for the composition of the debt Foreign currency debt: 15 per cent Inflation-linked debt: 25 per cent Nominal krona debt: 60 per cent (residual)

Guidelines on maturities for the debt Foreign currency debt: 0.125 Inflation-linked debt: 8-10 years Nominal krona debt: - instruments with a maturity of up to twelve years: 3.1 years - instruments with a maturity exceeding twelve years: maximum volume of SEK 65 billion

Background The overall objective of central government debt policy is to minimise the cost of the central government debt in the long run while taking the risk involved in its management into account. The Government controls the expected cost and risk primarily by deciding guidelines for composition and maturity. The Government decides on the guidelines after receiving proposals from the Debt Office and comments from the Riksbank. The Debt Office is responsible for the operational management of the central government debt in conformity with these guidelines.

On 31 October 2010, the unconsolidated central government debt amounted to SEK 1 072 billion.
