STOCKHOLM, Sept 20 (Reuters) - Swedish Finance Minister Anders Borg said on Sunday he expected public finances to return to surplus during the next government term of office following general elections due in September next year.
'I am convinced that we, during the next term of office, when we have exited the worst of the crisis, will see (a return to) balance and then surpluses,' Borg told journalists on the sidelines of a presentation of the centre-right government's budget bill.
