SEK finances for important infrastructure project for Skanska

Today SEK has signed a loan agreement with Skanska co-owned GTC,
Gdansk Transport Company S.A.  The loan totals EUR 345 million and is
provided for Phase 2 of the Polish A1 motorway. A major part of the
construction will be performed by Skanska.

SEK has today, together with the Nordic Investment Bank, NIB, and the
EuropeanInvestment Bank, EIB, signed a loan agreement with GTC, a
company co-owned by Swedish Skanska Infrastructure Development AB.
The entire financing totals EUR 1,070 million, of which SEK's part is
EUR 345 million, with a 28 year-maturity.

The loan has been provided for the construction of Phase 2 of the A1
motorway in Poland, a  62-kilometer stretch between the cities of
Nowe Marzy and Torun. Phase 2 is to be completed in 2011. The entire
A1 motorway will, when completed, stretch from Gdansk, through
Poland, to the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. A major part of
the construction of Phase 2 will be performed by Skanska.

-          This is an important infrastructure investment, not only
for Poland, but also for the entire Baltic Sea region and clearly
proves how important Swedish companies and Swedish exports are for
our region's industrial conditions and competitiveness, says Peter
Yngwe, President of SEK.

The construction of the motorway is being carried out as public
private partnership, PPP. GTC has been granted, by the Polish
government, the concession to construct and operate the motorway
until 2039. GTC is a joint venture with Swedish Skanska
Infrastructure Development AB as a major shareholder.
