SEK successful in challenging global bond market



SEK, AB Svensk Exportkredit, has issued an USD 1.25 billion 3 year
global bond. The transaction was very successful and quickly
oversubscribed by European, Middle Eastern, American and Asian
investors.

Originally the bond amount was scheduled at USD 1 billion but in
order to meet the high demand from the market SEK decided to increase
the issue with another USD 250 million.

- We noticed a substantial interest from the market for SEK bonds, an
interest that exceeded our initial expectations.
  Our borrowing has been more successful this year than ever before.
This gains our customers since SEK even in
  times of turmoil can offer them long-term financial solutions, says
Peter Yngwe, President SEK.
