For buyers of Swedish exports

Investing in new equipment, technology or infrastructure often requires long-term and reliable financing. For buyers of Swedish exports, access to competitive financing can be decisive when evaluating suppliers and moving an investment forward.

Financing that supports your investment decision

When comparing suppliers, financing terms can be just as important as price, quality and performance. Well-structured financing can improve cash flow, reduce risk and increase predictability over the life of the investment.

Financing from SEK allows you to:

secure long-term funding aligned with your investment horizon
benefit from predictable interest terms, including fixed rates
reduce financing risk and pressure on internal credit lines
execute larger or more complex investments

SEK’s financing can be integrated into the commercial arrangement, making it easier for you to proceed with an investment in Swedish goods or services.

Our financing solutions for buyers

SEK offers two main financing solutions, depending on the size, structure and complexity of your investment.

Export credits

SEK provides long-term export credits directly linked to your purchase of Swedish goods and services. Export credits can be structured with:

fixed interest rates under CIRR (Commercial Interest Reference Rate), providing long-term certainty and stable financing costs
floating or market-based interest rates, tailored to your financing strategy

Export credits are suitable for capital goods and large deliveries with extended credit periods and are commonly used in industrial and technology investments.

Case

Electric railway in Turkey built with Swedish products

The project is financed through an export credit from SEK, enabling one of the top-priority infrastructure projects in Turkey. Several Swedish companies are delivering products and expertise to the railway construction.

Project finance

For large-scale or complex investments, SEK offers project finance solutions where repayment is based primarily on the project’s future cash flows.

Project finance is particularly relevant for investments in:

infrastructure
energy
industrial facilities and production assets

SEK participates as a lender in project finance structures, often alongside international financial institutions, where Swedish goods and services form a key part of the project.
