Difficult for Sweden to report ODA level of 1.0 per cent GNI next year

The Swedish government has confirmed an earlier pledge to provide SEK 6.15 billion to the World Bank’s soft loan arm IDA for the period 2006-2008. But none of the funds will be reported to OECD in 2006, making it difficult for Sweden to reach an aid level of 1 per cent of GNI next year.
