Strengthening of SEK's capital base now completed

Today, the Swedish government has provided SEK with Skr 3 billion in
new equity and transferred to SEK the shares of the state-owned
company Venantius AB to further strengthen SEK's capacity to lend to
the Swedish export industry.

In November, the Government proposed to strengthen SEK's capacity to
assist the Swedish export industry with long-term financing, through
a capital contribution of Skr 3 billion in new equity and a transfer
of the shares of the state-owned company Venantius AB to SEK.
Venantius' equity amounts to approximately Skr 2.4 billion, its loan
portfolio has a book value of approximately Skr 0.6 billion, and its
liquidity amounts to approximately Skr 1.8 billion (unaudited).

The proposal was approved by the Swedish Parliament and has now been
carried out in full.
