High inflation and high interest rates have resulted in many companies choosing to defer some investments, which affects our new lending for export credits and project financing. However, we are noting increased demand for financing for climate transition initiatives, and continued high activity within corporate lending to Swedish exporters
Magnus Montan, CEO of SEK
The global uncertainty in the operating environment and the shift towards higher interest rates, affects the willingness to invest. At the same time, demand for financing of defense, climate transition and energy projects has increased. In light of that, we remain optimistic about SEK’s business outlook for the remainder of the year.
Magnus Montan, CEO of the Swedish Export Credit Corporation
The high level of new lending mainly stems from high demand for working capital finance from Swedish exporters as well as from two major export credits to foreign customers. We have also witnessed higher lending to clients in the defense industry.”
Magnus Montan, CEO of SEK
We are extremely satisfied with the successful outcome, especially in these turbulent times and running into year-end. The demand, especially from the high-quality accounts was strong, and we are happy to have been able to print EUR 1 billion out of a EUR 1.25 billion orderbook. Also, this underpins our statement of working on building a EUR curve as a strategic move to diversify borrowing and broaden the investor base.
Anna Finnskog, Head of Treasury at SEK
We have noted a significant increase in working capital finance to Swedish exporters, but also in export credits to foreign borrowers.

We reach a high new lending volume, primarily due to high demand for export credits. We financed projects such as a major maternity clinic at a hospital in Ghana. The financing is a result of Team Sweden’s investments for Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) transactions, which in this case, led to some 40 Swedish exporters being contracted.
