Interest on student loan debts expected to increase from next year
The interest rate for study loan debts could be increased from 0 per cent to 0.64 per cent from next year, according to a forecast from the Swedish Board of Student Finance, or CSN.
A former student with an average debt of 166,000 kronor would pay back an additional 88 kronor per month under such an increase.
CSN's head of economics Jan Söderholm says 0.64 per cent is still a very low interest rate if you look at it from a historical perspective.
