Rental costs as a proportion of revenues 1997-2000
To forecast aggregate future revenues, the National Agency for Higher
Education has used data from annual accounts, budgetary briefing materials
and the Finance Bill of 1998.
Rental costs as a proportion of expected aggregate revenues are estimated to
increase by 0.2 percentage points on average between the financial years
1998 and 2000 for institutions of higher education. If planned measures
relating to the supply of premises and entailing changes in rental costs are
also included, the proportion increases by 0.7 percentage points.
According to a recent estimate taking the interim annual reports of
institutions of higher education of July 1998 as its starting point, the
proportion of rental costs will on the whole remain unchanged between the
financial years 1997 and 1998.
Future large-volume rental agreements
In the spring of 1998, institutions of higher education were planning to
draw up large-volume rental agreements to an annual amount of some 684
million kronor up to and including the year 2002. This amount is divided
between some forty agreements. Approximately 238 million kronor of the
amount mentioned constituted rental costs paid by institutions of higher
education for premises which are already under lease and which will be
modified in some way or replaced. In many cases, the rental costs stated are
based on very provisional estimates of the design and costs of the projects in
question.
In addition to the above mentioned rental costs, further costs arise as a result
of planned construction measures or rental arrangements that have not yet
been finalized sufficiently to allow any rental consequences to be gauged.
Also, some institutions of higher education will probably take over
responsibility for current rental agreements for premises now being used for
educational programmes in the care sector.
