STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden's financial markets minister has had to apologise just days ahead of elections for sending a text message with the wording "you owe me big time" to a lobbyist in the wake of a key spending package, a newspaper said on Friday.

The daily Aftonbladet said Financial Markets Minister Peter Norman sent the text to a lobbyist for the Federation of Swedish Farmers. It did not say how it obtained the message.
