A strong first half of the year in an uncertain world
During the first six months of the year, SEK experienced strong growth in business volumes. New credit and guarantee commitments of Skr 57 billion were signed, Skr 45 billion of which were signed in the second quarter – a clear indication of the continued trust from SEK’s customers. The business volumes include both Swedish exporters and their international customers, underscoring SEK’s important role in the global export landscape.
Good profitability, high activity and large currency effects
Profitability for the first half of the year amounted to 6.1 percent (1H24: 5.5 percent). The total lending portfolio amounted to Skr 272.2 billion (year-end 2024: Skr 283.4 billion). The decrease of 4 percent since year-end 2024 is explained by a stronger Swedish krona against the U.S. dollar, combined with relatively large scheduled maturities in the lending portfolio. The lending portfolio excluding exchange rate effects increased by 2 percent. At mid-year, sustainability classified lending amounted to Skr 55.2 billion (year-end 2024: Skr 53.4 billion). In the second quarter, SEK’s lending portfolio increased 1.6 percent quarter-on-quarter. During the first half of the year, new credit and guarantee commitments of Skr 57 billion were signed in the first half year, Skr 45 billion of which were signed in the second quarter. A large portion of the new business remains undisbursed and has not yet been reflected in the portfolio. Net profit for the first half of the year totaled Skr 737 million (1H24: Skr 630 million), an increase compared to the previous year, and was to a large extent attributable to decreased net credit losses. Net interest income for the first half of the year was Skr 1.4 billion (1H24: Skr 1.5 billion), with the year-on-year decrease primarily attributable to lower market interest rates and a stronger Swedish krona. Net profit for the second quarter totaled Skr 279 million, which was lower than the first quarter. The difference between the quarters was mainly explained by increased model-driven provisions for credit losses, driven by the current macroeconomic environment, as well as unrealized value changes in financial instruments.
Several new transactions and successful borrowing
A large volume of new credit and guarantee commitments were entered into during the first half of the year. SEK is part of several strategically important projects, including:
| ● | A ten-year financing agreement of USD 400 million with Mölnlycke Health Care to support the healthcare company’s continued global expansion and development. |
| ● | Participation in a financing consortium for some of the first offshore wind power projects in Poland – Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3, amounting to EUR 3 billion per project. |
| ● | Participation in a EUR 2.3 billion financing for SSAB’s transition into a cutting-edge fossil-free steelworks in Luleå. |
During the first half of the year, we also remained active and successful in the capital markets. SEK issued a ten-year benchmark bond of EUR 1 billion in January as well as a three-year benchmark bond of USD 1.75 billion in April, both with strong demand despite persistent market volatility.
Uncertain market conditions but significant export financing opportunities
The current geopolitical situation is affecting many Swedish exporters. Trade tariff developments and ongoing armed conflicts have led to increased market uncertainty about future developments, which has led several companies to postpone investment decisions. At the same time, we believe there is a need for comprehensive infrastructure, energy and defense investments in Europe, which can create significant business opportunities for our customers as well as for SEK. SEK’s Export Credit Trends Survey published in June 2025 also indicates that Swedish exporters have remained resilient, even in an uncertain operating environment. Despite geopolitical tensions and worries about increased trade barriers, exporters consider conditions as stable and the outlook for new order intake is unexpectedly positive.
Strength in change, focus on sustainability and a strong financial position
We held our annual customer meeting in May, which was well received. We also participated in a delegation to Nigeria and attended the TXF event in Copenhagen, which is an important meeting place for global trade. Additionally, we attended the Net-Zero ECA Alliance’s annual summit, where we discussed steps to achieve the Alliance’s climate goals. As a part of our continued cultural work, we launched a new leadership development program. In June, Tobias Hornberger assumed the role of CFO, reinforcing our management group.
SEK remains financially strong and well prepared to support Swedish exporters in a changing world. Our long-term approach, ability to adapt and clear focus on sustainability and competitiveness mean that we are ready to meet tomorrow’s needs – and to help develop Swedish exports.
Magnus Montan Chief Executive Officer |

High volumes of new business
SEK sees a significant market need for investment and is actively engaged in maintaining close relationships with existing customers while reaching out to new potential customers.
During the first half of the year, new credit and guarantee commitments of Skr 57 billion were entered into, Skr 45 billion of which were signed in the second quarter. One of the credit agreements is a USD 400 million financing agreement with Mölnlycke Health Care to support the healthcare company’s continued global expansion and development. SEK is also participating in a financing consortium to support some of the first offshore wind power projects in Poland – Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3, amounting to EUR 3 billion per project. Additionally, SEK is providing parts of the financing for SSAB’s transition into a cutting-edge fossil-free steelworks in Luleå. A large portion of the new credit and guarantee commitments remains undisbursed and has not yet been reflected in the lending portfolio in the balance sheet. The total lending volume has declined since year-end, largely as a result of a strong Swedish krona combined with relatively large scheduled maturities in the lending portfolio during the period.
Global uncertainty continued through the second quarter of 2025, but according to SEK’s most recent Export Credit Trends Survey, Swedish exporters have remained resilient. The exporters’ outlook for new order intake is unexpectedly positive despite geopolitical tensions and worries about increased trade barriers.

Successful public transactions in a volatile environment
In the volatile environment with challenging market conditions, SEK completed several successful transactions during the first half of 2025, highlighting investors’ continued trust in SEK.
April was characterized by significant market turmoil following the trade tariffs announced by the United States, resulting in heightened volatility and making it challenging for borrowers to issue in the U.S. market. The market stabilized at the end of the month and SEK issued a three-year public benchmark bond of USD 1.75 billion. SEK also issued several other public benchmark bonds during the first half of the year: a ten-year bond of EUR 1 billion, a three-year bond of GBP 325 million and a two-year bond of USD 1.25 billion, all of which were met with strong demand. SEK also completed several minor transactions during the period, including in Swedish krona.
New long-term borrowing for the first half of 2025 amounted to Skr 62 billion. At the end of the first half of the year, SEK had a total borrowing portfolio of Skr 331 billion and is well-equipped for coming financing needs linked to Swedish exports.
This year’s Green Bond Letter and an updated ESG Factbook were published during the second quarter. The Green Bond Letter provides an overview of how funds from SEK’s green and sustainable bonds were allocated and offers investors an insight into how these help reduce carbon emissions. The ESG Factbook presents SEK’s environmental-, social- and governance-related data in an easily accessible format.
Taken together, during the first half of the year, SEK demonstrated its ability to navigate a changing and highly volatile environment. At the same time, SEK continues to meet its financing requirements, supported by a diversified global investor base.

January–June 2025
Operating profit amounted to Skr 928 million (1H24: Skr 794 million). Net profit amounted to Skr 737 million (1H24: Skr 630 million). The increase in net profit compared to the same period in the previous year was primarily due to lower net credit losses as well as an improved outcome for net results of financial transactions.
Net interest income
Net interest income amounted to Skr 1,372 million (1H24: Skr 1,536 million), representing a decrease of 11 percent compared to the same period in the previous year. A large portion of the decrease is explained by lower average short-term interest rates in the Swedish krona, with a strong Swedish krona also contributing to the decrease.

Net results of financial transactions
Net results of financial transactions amounted to Skr 4 million (1H24: Skr -51 million). The results were primarily attributable to unrealized value changes in liquidity investments as well as in financial instruments and hedged items, offset by changes in cross-currency basis spreads.
SEK’s general business model is to hold financial instruments measured at fair value until maturity. Accordingly, the results of market value changes tend to net toward zero over time.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses amounted to Skr -387 million (1H24: Skr -387 million), in line with the same period in the previous year. Personnel expenses increased compared to the same period in the previous year, as a result of new recruitment of permanent employees replacing existing consultants, and strategic investments, while other administrative expenses and depreciations decreased.
Net credit losses
Net credit losses amounted to Skr -38 million (1H24: Skr -281 million). Net credit losses for the period were mainly attributable to increased provisions for expected credit losses in stage 1 and stage 2. The increased provisions were due to the prevailing macroeconomic conditions in the operating environment, which negatively impacted the business cycle parameter in SEK’s IFRS 9 model. The parameter reflects the overall risk of default in the economy. See Note 4. SEK assesses that the credit quality of its lending portfolio remains high.
During the period, SEK established losses amounting to Skr 100 million attributable to exposures that had previously been mostly reserved.
Loss allowances as of June 30, 2025, amounted to Skr -425 million compared to Skr -526 million as of December 31, 2024, of which exposures in stage 3 amounted to Skr -254 million (year-end 2024: Skr -386 million). The provision ratio amounted to 0.13 percent (year-end 2024: 0.15 percent).
Taxes
Tax costs amounted to Skr -191 million (1H24: Skr -164 million), and the effective tax rate amounted to 20.6 percent (1H24: 20.7 percent).
Other comprehensive income (OCI)
Other comprehensive income before tax amounted to Skr 58 million (1H24: Skr 115 million). This result was mainly attributable to a positive result amounting to Skr 55 million obtained from changes in own credit risk driven by movements in the EUR yield curve.
April-June 2025
Operating profit amounted to Skr 351 million (2Q24: Skr 578 million). Net profit amounted to Skr 279 million (2Q24: Skr 459 million). The decrease in net profit compared to the same period in the previous year was primarily due to lower net interest income and increased provisions for expected credit losses.
Net interest income
Net interest income amounted to Skr 662 million (2Q24: Skr 766 million), representing a decrease of 14 percent compared to the same period in the previous year. The majority of the decrease is explained by lower average short-term interest rates in the Swedish krona, with a strong Swedish krona also contributing to the decrease.

Net results of financial transactions
Net results of financial transactions amounted to Skr -29 million (2Q24: Skr -16 million). The results were primarily attributable to unrealized value changes due to changes in cross-currency basis spreads.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses amounted to Skr -199 million (2Q24: Skr -206 million), representing a decrease of 3 percent compared to the same period in the previous year. Personnel expenses in particular decreased year-on-year, partly due to a provision related to the individual variable remuneration system recorded in the second quarter of 2024. This system has since been discontinued.
Net credit losses
Net credit losses amounted to Skr -71 million (2Q24: Skr 46 million). Net credit losses for the period were mainly attributable to increased provisions for expected credit losses in all three stages. The increased provisions were due to the prevailing macroeconomic conditions in the operating environment, which negatively impacted the business cycle parameter in SEK’s IFRS 9 model. The parameter reflects the overall risk of default in the economy. See Note 4. The increase in Stage 3 was primarily due to increased provisions for a single counterparty. SEK assesses that the credit quality of its lending portfolio remains high.
During the period, SEK established losses amounting to Skr 100 million attributable to exposures that had previously been mostly reserved.
Taxes
Tax costs amounted to Skr -72 million (2Q24: Skr -119 million), and the effective tax rate amounted to 20.5 percent (2Q24: 20.6 percent).
Other comprehensive income (OCI)
Other comprehensive income before tax amounted to Skr 53 million (2Q24: Skr 47 million). This result was mainly attributable to a positive result amounting to Skr 54 million obtained from changes in own credit risk driven by movements in the EUR yield curve.
Statement of Financial Position
Total assets and liquidity investments
Total assets increased by 3 percent compared to year-end 2024, as a result of an increased volume of liquidity investments and issuance of a USD 1.25 billion bond at the end of June 2025. The bond settled after the reporting date, resulting in an increase in other assets as of the reporting date. During the first half of the year, the Swedish krona
strengthened, including against the U.S. dollar, driving the decrease in the total lending portfolio.

Liabilities and equity
As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate volume of available funds and shareholders’ equity exceeded the aggregate volume of loans outstanding and loans committed at all maturities. SEK considers all of its outstanding commitments to be covered through maturity.
SEK has a credit facility in place with the Swedish National Debt Office of up to Skr 150 billion. The credit facility can be utilized when the Swedish export industry’s demand for financing is particularly high.
Capital adequacy
As of June 30, 2025, SEK’s total own funds amounted to Skr 22.9 billion (year-end 2024: Skr 23.4 billion). The total capital ratio was 23.5 percent (year-end 2024: 22.2 percent), representing a margin of 6.3 percentage points above SEK’s estimate of Finansinspektionen’s (the “Swedish FSA”) requirement of 17.2 percent as of June 30, 2025. The corresponding Common Equity Tier 1 capital estimated requirement was 12.1 percent. Given that SEK’s own funds are comprised solely of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, this total capital ratio represents a margin of 11.4 percentage points above the requirement. Overall, SEK is strongly capitalized.

Other events
At SEK’s annual general meeting held on March 25, 2025, Ms. Hanna Lagercrantz stepped down from her position as a member of the Board of Directors of SEK (the “Board”), and Mr. Erik Mattsson was elected as a new member of the Board. Additionally, the Board passed a resolution at the annual general meeting to adopt the income statement and balance sheet in the Annual and Sustainability Report 2024 and to appropriate distributable funds pursuant to the Board’s proposal. At an extraordinary general meeting on the same day, the Board also resolved to authorize the distribution of an extraordinary dividend, amounting to Skr 1,000 million, which resulted in a total dividend to SEK’s owner, the Swedish State, of Skr 1,673 million.
In January 2025, Mr. Mattias Hasselbo assumed the position of Chief Credit Officer (“COO”). SEK’s previous COO, Ms. Teresa Hamilton Burman, retired in June 2025. Mr. Tobias Hornberger was recruited to the position of Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of SEK and he took up his position in June 2025.
To further focus on increased client value and growth, SEK implemented a number of organizational changes within the lending organization in March 2025. The International Finance function was restructured and became Global Trade and Export Finance. Mr. Jens Hedar took on the role as head of this new function. The two existing functions, “Client Relationship Management” and “Sustainability” were combined into a single function where Ms. Maria Simonson became Head of Client Relationship Management and Sustainability.
During the second quarter, SEK adjusted its financing strategy for commercial credit commitments. Previously, SEK secured funding for all credit commitments, including for committed, undisbursed credits. The adjustment in the financing strategy means that funding is secured for all credits on the balance sheet and for at least the next two years for commercial committed, undisbursed credits. The financing strategy for the CIRR-system is unchanged.
Pursuant to current Swedish legislation, SEK’s sustainability report for the year 2025 should be prepared in accordance with the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). However, in February 2025, the European Commission published an “Omnibus” package intended to simplify sustainability reporting requirements. The package included two proposals referred to as the “stop the clock” and “content” proposals. The “stop the clock” proposal, approved by the EU Parliament and endorsed by the EU Council in April 2025, would, if implemented, postpone SEK’s reporting requirements pursuant to the CSRD by two years until financial year 2027. The directive needs to be transposed into Swedish law for the legislation to take effect in Sweden. SEK is monitoring the development of this matter in order to ensure that the sustainability report is prepared in accordance with any amended CSRD requirements once transposed into Swedish law. The “content” proposal includes, among other things, a change in scope where an entity’s reporting obligation will primarily depend on whether it has more than 1,000 employees. Entities out of scope may choose to report voluntarily based on the voluntary standards for SMEs (VSME). It is not expected that this proposal will follow the “fast-track” principle, and it should be noted that these remain proposals at this time and, as such, are subject to change.
The macro environment
In the first quarter of 2025, Sweden’s GDP decreased by 0.2 percent quarter-on-quarter. Exports increased by 1.8 percent. Unemployment amounted to 9.0 percent at the end of May 2025, which represented an increase compared to the end of February 2025. The rate of inflation in May 2025 was 2.3 percent, unchanged from April 2025.
In June 2025, the Riksbank announced that the policy rate would be lowered to 2.00 percent. At the same time, the Riksbank signaled that there is some probability that the policy rate could be lowered once more later in the year.
SEK believes that, compared with normal conditions, the risk level with respect to external factors with a potentially negative impact on the Company remains high as a result of ongoing armed conflicts and geopolitical tensions, which can negatively affect supply chains and create volatility in the financial markets. The major trade tariffs that the United States has imposed, or threatened to impose, on large parts of the world also contribute to the uncertainty in the financial markets.
Russia’s war in Ukraine has little direct financial impact on SEK. The Company has a gross exposure of EUR 4.3 million to one Russian counterparty, where the risk is 100 percent covered, and the exposure dates back to prior to the war breaking out. SEK has no exposure to Ukraine or Belarus. Nevertheless, the high level of uncertainty caused by Russia’s war in Ukraine and by other ongoing military conflicts, not least the hostile conflict between Iran and Israel involving the United States, could have a more long-term effect on SEK’s customers and, consequently, on SEK. The uncertainty concerning the United States’ future commitment to Europe and NATO and its support for Ukraine, adds to the difficulty of predicting the future.
The above mentioned threats, and the imposition of trade tariffs and other trade barriers by state actors are reasonably likely to have a negative effect on international trade and is likely to lead to increased inflation, lower growth and thus potentially reduced demand for lending by SEK. At the other end of the scale, there is a need for comprehensive infrastructure, energy and defense investments in Europe, which can create significant business opportunities for SEK.
SEK believes that information security threats, particularly in relation to cybersecurity, have increased and remain more acute than before as a consequence of Sweden’s membership in NATO and its support for Ukraine.
Risk factors
SEK’s operations are exposed to various types of risks, including primarily credit risks, but also market, liquidity, refinancing, operational and sustainability risks. For a more detailed description of these risks, refer to the separate risk report Capital Adequacy and Risk Management Report (Pillar 3) 2024 and Note 29 to the annual financial statements included in SEK’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 20-F, as well as the “Risk Factors” section in SEK’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Financial targets
Profitability target | A return on equity after tax of at least 5 percent. | |
Dividend policy | Payment of an ordinary dividend of 20-40 percent of the profit for the year. | |
Capital target | SEK’s total capital ratio is to exceed the Swedish FSA’s requirement by 2 to 4 percentage points and SEK’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio is to exceed the Swedish FSA’s requirement by at least 4 percentage points. Currently, the capital targets mean that the total capital ratio should amount to 19.2-21.2 percent and the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio should amount to 16.1 percent, based on SEK’s estimation of the Swedish FSA’s requirements as of June 30, 2025. | |

Note 1. Accounting policies
This condensed interim report is presented in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The Consolidated Group’s consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), together with the interpretations from IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC). The IFRS standards applied by SEK are all endorsed by the European Union (EU). The accounting also follows the additional standards imposed by the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies (1995:1559) (ÅRKL) and the regulation and general guidelines issued by Finansinspektionen (the Swedish FSA), “Annual Reports in Credit Institutions and Securities Companies” (FFFS 2008:25). In addition to this, the supplementary accounting rules for groups (RFR 1) issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board have been applied. SEK also follows the state’s principles for external reporting in accordance with its State Ownership Policy and principles for state-owned enterprises.
| (a) | Changes to accounting policies and presentation |
SEK analyzes and assesses the application and impact of changes in financial reporting standards that are applied within the Group. Changes that are not mentioned are either not applicable to SEK or have been determined to not have a material impact on SEK’s financial reporting.
The accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation of the Consolidated Group are, in all material aspects, the same as those used for the 2024 annual financial statements included in SEK’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 20-F.
(i) New and amended standards and interpretations applicable for 2025
There are no new or amended IFRS or IFRS Interpretations Committee interpretations applicable for 2025 that have had a material impact on SEK’s financial statements, capital adequacy or large exposure ratios.
(ii) Standards issued but not yet effective
For new or amended IFRS or IFRS Interpretations Committee interpretations issued but not yet effective, refer to the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 20-F. SEK is currently assessing any impacts the amendments will have on SEK’s financial statements, capital adequacy or large exposure ratios.

The table above shows the book value of loans and nominal amounts for off-balance sheet exposures before expected credit losses for each stage as well as related loss allowance amounts, in order to place expected credit losses in relation to credit exposures. Overall, the credit portfolio has an extremely high credit quality and SEK often uses risk mitigation measures, primarily through guarantees from the Swedish Export Credit Agency (EKN) and other government export credit agencies in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which explains the low provision ratio.

Provisions for expected credit losses (ECLs) are calculated using quantitative models based on inputs, assumptions and methods that are highly reliant on assessments. In particular, the following could heavily impact the level of provisions: the establishment of a material increase in credit risk, allowing for forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios, and the measurement of both ECLs over the next 12 months and lifetime ECLs. ECLs are based on objective assessments of what SEK expects to lose on the exposures given what was known on the reporting date and taking into account possible future events. The ECL is a probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating the outcome of several possible scenarios and where the data taken into consideration comprises information from previous conditions, current conditions and projections of future economic conditions. SEK’s method entails

Uncertainty of valuation of Level 3 instruments
As the estimation of parameters included in the models used to calculate the market value of Level 3 instruments is associated with subjectivity and uncertainty, SEK has conducted an analysis of the difference in fair value of Level 3 instruments using other established parameter values. Option models and discounted cash flows are used to value the Level 3 instruments. For the Level 3 instruments that are significantly affected by different types of correlations, which are not based on observable market data, a revaluation has been made by shifting the correlations. The correlation is expressed as a value between 1 and -1, where 0 indicates no relationship,

Note 8. CIRR-system
Pursuant to the company’s assignment as stated in its owner instruction issued by the Swedish government, SEK administers credit granting in the Swedish system for officially supported export credits (CIRR-system). SEK receives compensation from the Swedish government in the form of an administrative compensation, which is calculated based on the principal amount outstanding.
Interim report January–June 2025 | Page 19 of 28 |
The administrative compensation paid by the state to SEK is recognized in the CIRR-system as administrative remuneration to SEK. Refer to the following tables of the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial positions for the CIRR-system, presented as reported to the owner. Interest expenses include interest expenses for loans between SEK and the CIRR-system which reflects the borrowing cost for the CIRR-system. Interest expenses for derivatives hedging CIRR-loans are also recognized as interest expenses, which differs from SEK’s accounting principles. Arrangement fees to SEK are recognized together with other arrangement fees as interest expenses.
In addition to the CIRR-system, SEK administers the Swedish government’s previous concessionary credit program according to the same principles as the CIRR-system. No new lending is being offered under the concessionary credit program. As of June 30, 2025, there were

Credit risk
For classification and quantification of credit risk, SEK uses the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach. Specifically, SEK applies the Foundation Approach. Under the Foundation Approach, the company determines the PD within one year for each of its counterparties, while the remaining parameters are established in accordance with CRR. Application of the IRB approach requires the Swedish FSA’s permission and is subject to ongoing supervision. Certain exposures are, by permission from the Swedish FSA, exempted from application of the IRB approach, and, instead, the standardized approach is applied. Counterparty risk exposure amounts in derivatives are calculated in accordance with the standardized approach for counterparty credit risk.
Credit valuation adjustment risk
Credit valuation adjustment risk is calculated for all over-the-counter derivative contracts, except for credit derivatives used as credit protection and transactions with a qualifying central counterparty. SEK calculates this capital requirement according to the standardized approach.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is calculated according to the standardized approach, whereas the scenario approach is used for calculating the gamma and volatility risks.
Interim report January–June 2025 | Page 22 of 28 |
Commodities risk
Capital requirements for commodity risk are calculated in accordance with the simplified approach under the standardized approach. The scenario approach is used for calculating the gamma and volatility risks.
Operational risk
Capital requirement for operational risk is calculated according to the standardized approach. The company’s operations are divided into business areas as defined in the CRR. The capital requirement for each area is calculated by multiplying a factor depending on the business area by an income indicator. The factors applicable for SEK are
Transitional rules
The capital adequacy ratios reflect the full impact of IFRS 9 as no transitional rules for IFRS 9 were utilized.
Capital buffer requirements
SEK expects to meet capital buffer requirements with Common Equity Tier 1 capital. The mandatory capital conservation buffer is
Pillar 2 guidance
The Swedish FSA will in connection with the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) determine appropriate levels for the institution’s own funds. The Swedish FSA will then inform the institution of the differences between the appropriate levels and requirements under the Supervisory Regulation, the Buffer Act and the Pillar 2 requirements. These notifications are called Pillar 2 guidance. The Pillar 2 guidance covers both the risk-based capital requirement and the leverage ratio requirement.

Tier 1 capital expressed as a percentage of the exposure measured under CRR (refer to Note 10).
Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR)
The liquidity coverage ratio is a liquidity metric that shows SEK’s highly liquid assets in relation to the company’s net cash outflows for the next 30 calendar days. An LCR of 100 percent means that the company’s liquidity reserve is of sufficient size to enable the company to manage stressed liquidity outflows over a period of 30 days. Unlike the Swedish FSA’s rules, the EU rules take into account the outflows that correspond to the need to pledge collateral for derivatives that would arise as a result of the effects of a negative market scenario.
Loans
Lending pertains to all credit facilities provided in the form of interest-bearing securities, and credit facilities granted by traditional documentation. SEK considers these amounts to be useful measurements of SEK’s lending volumes. Accordingly, comments on lending volumes in this report pertain to amounts based on this definition.
*Loans, outstanding and undisbursed
The total of loans in the form of interest-bearing securities, loans to credit institutions, loans to the public and loans, outstanding and undisbursed. Deduction is made for cash collateral under the security agreements for derivative contracts and deposits with time to maturity exceeding three months (see the Statement of Financial Position and Note 9).
Net stable funding ratio (NSFR)
This ratio measures stable funding in relation to the company’s illiquid assets over a one-year, stressed scenario in accordance with CRRII.
*New credit and guarantee commitments
New credit and guarantee commitments refer to all new credits and guarantees accepted regardless of their maturity. Not all new credit and guarantee commitments are reported in the consolidated statement of financial
position and consolidated statement of cash flows, but a certain portion represents committed, undisbursed credits, see Note 9. The reported amounts of committed, undisbursed credits may change upon disbursement as they are reported in the statement of financial position, for example due to changes in exchange rates. Furthermore, committed credits do not necessarily result in a disbursement and thus a credit on the balance sheet. New credit and guarantee commitments are intended to provide the reader with a picture of the inflow of new business during the reporting period.
*New long-term borrowings
New borrowings with maturities exceeding one year, for which the amounts are based on the trade date.
*Outstanding senior debt
The total of borrowing from credit institutions, borrowing from the public and debt securities issued.
Own credit risk
Net fair value change due to credit risk on financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
Repurchase and redemption of own debt
The amounts are based on the trade date.
Social loans
Social loans are categorized according to SEK’s “Sustainability bond framework”. The purpose is to stimulate investments that are socially sustainable, such as in healthcare, education, basic infrastructure, or food security.
Sustainability classified loans
Sustainability classified loans refer to green, social and sustainability-linked loans.
Sustainability-linked loans
Sustainability-linked loans consist of working capital finance that promote the borrower’s sustainability efforts, which in turn support environmental and socially sustainable economic activities and growth. SEK’s sustainability-linked loans are based on International Loan Market Association’s (LMA) Sustainability-Linked Loan Principles.
Swedish exporters
SEK’s clients that directly or indirectly promote Swedish export.
Tier 1 capital ratio
The capital ratio is the quotient of total tier 1 capital and the total risk exposure amount.
Total capital ratio
The capital ratio is the quotient of total Own funds and the total risk exposure amount.
