SEK successful in challenging global bond market

2007.09.21

SEK, AB Svensk Exportkredit, has issued an USD 1.25 billion 3 year global bond. The transaction was very successful and quickly oversubscribed by European, Middle Eastern, American and Asian investors.

Originally the bond amount was scheduled at USD 1 billion but in order to meet the high demand from the market SEK decided to increase the issue with another USD 250 million.

  • We noticed a substantial interest from the market for SEK bonds, an interest that exceeded our initial expectations. Our borrowing has been more successful this year than ever before. This gains our customers since SEK even in times of turmoil can offer them long-term financial solutions, says Peter Yngwe, President SEK.
