1) Rounding may cause component sums to deviate from totals.
2) Incl. payments from the central government in cross-currency swaps and buybacks of long term debt with maturity date beyond 2023.
3) Repayment of short-term debt corresponds to the outstanding amount of Treasury bills and commercial paper in the beginning of the year.
