The Swedish Export Credit Corporation (SEK) is a state-owned company that provides financing for Swedish export companies, their subcontractors, and foreign customers. We also finance the climate transition in Sweden and globally, as well as sectors that are important for Swedish exports, such as infrastructure.

Sweden is an export-oriented nation, known for innovation, sustainability, and cutting-edge technology. SEK’s mission is to enable more global business for Swedish exporters on commercial and sustainable terms – even in situations where the market alone is not sufficient.

With more than 60 years of experience, SEK has built unique expertise in export and project finance. We finance Swedish export transactions worldwide, administer the state-supported CIRR system for fixed export credit interest rates, and also contribute to the financing of Swedish infrastructure, which is an important prerequisite for exports.

SEK has financing operations in around 60 countries and collaborates with many of Sweden’s largest and most innovative companies. We raise our funding in the international capital markets, where we enjoy strong investor confidence. SEK’s role as a stable, state-owned financier also underpins our high credit rating.

All lending is carried out on sustainable grounds and in line with international guidelines for the environment, human rights, labor conditions, and business ethics. Through responsible financing, SEK contributes both to a strong Swedish export industry and to more sustainable global development.

The CIRR system

SEK administers the CIRR system, a public mandate established by the Swedish Parliament. Under the CIRR framework, an exporter’s foreign customer is offered financing at a fixed interest rate throughout the credit term.
