Riksbank Sets 400 Million SEK Auction Range for 2027 Bonds
The central bank plans to issue between 200 and 400 million SEK in new government bonds due in 2027.
The Riksbank will auction 200 million SEK in nominal value of Swedish government bonds on September 25, 2026. The total offering volume is set at 200 million SEK with a potential variation of plus or minus 200 million SEK. This creates a possible issuance range between 0 and 400 million SEK. The specific bond identified is the instrument maturing on December 1, 2027.
Bidders have a one-hour window to submit their orders. The auction opens at 09:00 Central European Time and closes at 10:00. Allocation results are expected to be available by 10:15 on the same day.

Bid Limits Define Participation Scope
Individual bid volumes are constrained by specific minimum and maximum thresholds. Each bid must represent a minimum of 10 million SEK in nominal amount. The maximum permitted volume per single bid is capped at 200 million SEK. These limits structure the order book for the secondary market participants. The auction uses a bid procedure format for price discovery.
