AB Svensk Exportkredit: SEK issues billion dollar bond

(Thomson Reuters ONE) -


SEK has issued a 5-year bond for USD 1 billion. Despite turbulent market
conditions, the bond was very well received and was subscribed by investors from
all over the world. Over 60 investors participated in the transaction, which was
oversubscribed. The majority of investors were from the US and Europe. The
funding transaction was carried out together with Bank of America Merrill Lynch,
HSBC, JP Morgan and Nomura.

"We're very pleased with the transaction and the significant interest it
attracted," said Richard Anund, Head of Funding at SEK. The money will be used
in SEK's operations to support the Swedish export industry with financing.

The breakdown of investors in the bond was as follows:

Fund Manager 41 %

Central Banks/Official institutions 28 %

Bank/Private Banks 16 %

Insurance /Pension fund 15 %



The breakdown by region was as follows:

US 42 %

Europe 36 %

Asia 12 %

Middle East/Africa 10 %


SEK's capacity to assist companies through long-term financing remains strong.
Its conservative business model provides great reassurance for exporters. SEK
matches its lending and borrowing and incurs no refinancing risk. It is
reassuring for exporters to know that when they obtain financing from SEK, SEK
has already secured the necessary funding with the same maturity.

Please direct any questions to SEK's interim Head of Communications Edvard
Unsgaard on +46 721-76 85 16.
