Strong growth during a challenging year

 

SEK has maintained a strong business flow during the year, including in the fourth quarter. New lending in the fourth quarter amounted to Skr 34.8 billion, and Skr 133.2 billion for the full year, which was the highest ever new lending volume in the space of one year. This was achieved during an eventful and challenging year.

 

At the beginning of the year, we were still in an economic upturn. The recovery following the pandemic was rapid. However, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine changed that situation. The war led to substantial human suffering, streams of refugees and geopolitical concern. The war and the remaining effects from the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in deteriorated conditions for the Swedish export industry, such as increased transportation and fuel prices, supply chain disruptions, reduced purchasing power, high inflation and a reduced risk appetite in the capital markets as a result of these factors. Consequently, the growth scenario has changed towards a downturn scenario.

 

The continued Russian war in Ukraine resulted in challenging markets for corporate bonds and high demand for financing from SEK in the fourth quarter. This demonstrates the importance of our mission to finance the Swedish export industry and the transition to a low-carbon economy.

 

We posted profitability of 9.2 percent during the fourth quarter, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 4.6 percentage points. The increase was driven by very strong net interest income. Net interest income for the quarter totaled Skr 648 million, reflecting an increase of 34 percent year-on-year. We also posted net profit of Skr 491 million for the quarter, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 108 percent.

 

The high volatility in the financial markets during the year increased the effects that unrealized value changes of financial instruments had on net profit. The net results of financial transactions are neutral over time, but during the fourth quarter there was a positive effect on net profit from net results of financial transactions of Skr 223 million.

 

For the full year, we posted profitability of 5.5 percent and a net profit of Skr 1,166 million. This reflected a year-on-year increase of 0.4 percentage points or Skr 132 million.

 

The company’s strong results were partly due to a substantial increase in working capital financing to Swedish exporters as well as major export credits to exporters’ foreign customers. We have also witnessed higher lending to clients in the defense industry. During the fourth quarter, one of the transactions we financed in Sweden was the co-financing of the Kölvallen wind farm comprising 60 wind turbines located in Ljusdal Municipality. Financing of projects that contribute to climate transition is an important part of SEK’s offering. The share of green assets in the loan portfolio increased from 7.5 percent to 9.5 percent year on-year. We continue to develop our offerings, skills and working methods to increase the share of green assets.

 

Our focus on increasing the client portfolio and offering more companies access to Sweden’s export credit system has been highly successful. The number of clients increased 14 percent during the year following a very strong growth in the client base during the fourth quarter.

 

In order to meet the increased demand for financing, SEK, in the fourth quarter, issued a EUR 1 billion five-year fixed-rate bond and a USD 1.75 billion three-year fixed-rate bond. The latter comprised the largest borrowing transaction SEK has completed since April 2020.

 

We enter 2023 well capitalized and with high liquidity to continue to meet Sweden’s export industry’s financing needs, even during highly uncertain times with highly volatile financial markets and reduced market liquidity.

Record-high growth in client base and lending volumes

 

Global uncertainty continued to dominate during the fourth quarter. Russia’s war in Ukraine showed no signs of coming to an end. Capital market volumes remained at lower levels than usual and demand for SEK’s financial solutions was unusually high. SEK’s mission to provide financing to Sweden’s export industry becomes increasingly important in times of great uncertainty. This was particularly noticeable during the year as demand increased for a number of the company’s offerings compared to the preceding year. 

SEK achieved a new lending volume during the fourth quarter of Skr 34.8 billion and Skr 133.2 billion during the full year, reflecting an increase of 31 percent compared to the previous quarter and 73 percent compared to the full-year 2021. This is the highest new lending volume in the history of the company and can only be compared to the new lending volumes achieved in 2009 (the financial crisis) and 2020 (the COVID-19 pandemic). The company achieved a 15 percent growth in 2022 with regard to the total lending portfolio. 

The high level of new lending was primarily the result of high demand for working capital finance from large and medium-sized Swedish exporters, but also from increased demand for major export credits. Particulary, demand for financing from the defense industry has shown a sharp rise. While the share of new green lending declined year-on-year, SEK’s ambition of being a force in the transition to a low-carbon economy remains firm. 

Among other transactions in Sweden, SEK co-financed the Kölvallen wind farm comprising 60 wind turbines located in Ljusdal Municipality. 

SEK’s focus on increasing the client portfolio and offering more companies access to Sweden’s export credit system has been highly successful. The number of clients increased 14 percent during the year compared to the full-year 2021, exceeding the company’s ambitious target of a 10 percent increase.

High borrowing volume meets record-high lending

 

The high uncertainty in international capital markets continued throughout the fourth quarter. Russia’s war in Ukraine, the remaining effects from the COVID-19 pandemic in the form of deficient supply chains, sharply rising energy prices and historically high inflation across much of the world are elements of concern that have led to the risk appetite in international capital markets remaining lower than usual. Demand for financing from SEK from the Swedish export industry increased as a result of these circumstances. 

SEK is highly regarded in the global markets and increased its borrowing volume in the fourth quarter, with challenging market conditions. SEK has therefore been able to meet the increased demand for financing and remain a stable and secure financing partner for Sweden’s export industry. 

SEK has raised borrowings, with maturities exceeding one year, of Skr 32.8 billion during the fourth quarter and a total of Skr 88.5 billion during the full-year 2022. 

During the quarter, the company issued a EUR 1 billion five-year fixed-rate bond and a USD 1.75 billion three-year fixed-rate bond. The latter of these was the largest borrowing transaction SEK had completed since April 2020. 

The company therefore has high liquidity for new lending and is well prepared to meet the future financing needs of Sweden’s export industry, even during these highly uncertain times with highly volatile financial markets and reduced market liquidity.

January-December 2022 

 

Operating profit amounted to Skr 1,471 million (2021: Skr 1,305 million). Net profit amounted to Skr 1,166 million (2021: Skr 1,034 million). The higher net profit compared to the previous year was primarily the result of a Skr 272 million higher net interest income. The difference between the years was reduced by increased expenses and increased provisions for expected credit losses in 2022.

 

Net interest income 

Net interest income amounted to Skr 2,179 million (2021: Skr 1,907 million), representing an increase of 14 percent compared to the previous year. During the year, a high new lending rate, rising interest rates in Swedish kronor and a weaker Swedish krona contributed to higher interest income. On January 1, 2022, a new risk tax on credit institutions was introduced in Sweden. Net interest income was negatively affected by the risk tax amounting to Skr 109 million. 

The table below shows average interest-bearing assets and liabilities.

 

Skr bn, average Jan-Dec
2022		 Jan-Dec
2021		 Change
Total lending portfolio 255.3 234.5 9%
Liquidity investments 72.1 63.5 14%
Interest-bearing assets 338.0 314.2 8%
Interest-bearing liabilities 310.6 291.2 7%

 

Net results of financial transactions 

Net results of financial transactions amounted to Skr 69 million (2021: Skr 56 million). The year has been volatile with large movement in the financial markets. The results were mainly attributable to unrealized value changes of financial instruments from cross-currency basis spreads, increased credit spreads in the liquidity portfolio and increased interest rates.

 

Operating expenses 

Operating expenses amounted to Skr -712 million (2021: Skr -670 million), an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period in the previous year. The increase in operating expenses is mainly due to increased personnel and depreciation costs. A provision of Skr 7 million was made for the individual variable remuneration program (2021: –).

 

Net credit losses 

Net credit losses amounted to Skr -34 million (2021: Skr 41 million). Net credit losses were mainly attributable to increased provisions for expected credit losses for exposures in stage 1 and stage 3, offset by recovered credit losses, as well as decreased provisions for expected credit losses for exposures in stage 2. 

SEK’s IFRS 9 model is based on a business cycle parameter. The business cycle parameter reflects the general risk of default in each probability of default (PD) segment and should reflect the general risk of default in the economy. Due to the current macroeconomic

uncertainty, SEK has made an overall adjustment according to management’s assessment, see Note 4. 

Loss allowances as of December 31, 2022, amounted to Skr -223 million compared to Skr -164 million as of December 31, 2021, of which exposures in stage 3 amounted to Skr -70 million (year-end 2021: Skr -48 million). 

The provision ratio amounted to 0.06 percent (year-end 2021: 0.06 percent).

 

Taxes 

Tax costs amounted to Skr -305 million (2021: Skr -271 million), and the effective tax rate amounted to 20.7 percent (2021: 20.8 percent).

 

Other comprehensive income (OCI) 

Other comprehensive income before tax amounted to Skr 20 million (2021: Skr 0 million). The outcome is explained by a positive result related to the changes in own credit risk due to increased credit spreads, as well as a positive result related to the revaluation of defined benefit plans that were affected by a higher discount rate, offset in part by unrealized losses incurred from derivatives in cash flow hedging due to rising interest rates.

  

October-December 2022

 

Operating profit for the fourth quarter amounted to Skr 621 million (4Q21: Skr 300 million). Net profit amounted to Skr 491 million (4Q21: Skr 236 million). The higher net profit compared to the same period in the previous year was mainly explained by higher net results of financial transactions and higher net interest income.

 

Net interest income 

Net interest income amounted to Skr 648 million (4Q21: Skr 482 million), representing an increase of 34 percent compared to the same period in the previous year. A high new lending rate during the year and higher interest rates in Swedish kronor contributed to higher interest income during the quarter. Net interest income was negatively affected by the new risk tax amounting to Skr 28 million. 

The table below shows average interest-bearing assets and liabilities.

 

Skr bn, average Oct-Dec

Interest-bearing assets 364.1 308.2 18%
Interest-bearing liabilities 334.6 291.2 15%

 

Net results of financial transactions 

Net results of financial transactions amounted to Skr 223 million (4Q21: Skr 41 million). The financial markets were volatile during the period and characterized by substantial movement. The results were mainly attributable to unrealized value changes of financial instruments from cross-currency basis spreads.

Operating expenses 

Operating expenses amounted to Skr -229 million (4Q21: Skr -208 million), representing an increase of 10 percent compared to the same period in the previous year. The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to increased personnel costs. A provision of Skr 1 million was made for the individual variable remuneration program (4Q21: –).

 

Net credit losses 

Net credit losses amounted to Skr -12 million (4Q21: Skr -9 million). Net credit losses were mainly attributable to increased provisions for expected credit losses for exposures in stage 3. 

SEK’s IFRS 9 model is based on a business cycle parameter. The business cycle parameter reflects the general risk of default in each probability of default (PD) segment and should reflect the general risk of default in the economy. Due to the current macroeconomic uncertainty, SEK has made an overall adjustment according to management’s assessment, see Note 4.

 

Taxes 

Tax costs amounted to Skr -130 million (4Q21: Skr -64 million), and the effective tax rate amounted to 20.9 percent (4Q21: 21.3 percent).

 

Other comprehensive income (OCI) 

Other comprehensive income before tax amounted to Skr 7 million (4Q21: Skr -10 million). The outcome is explained by a positive result related to the changes in own credit risk due to increased credit spreads, offset in part by incurred unrealized losses from derivatives in cash flow hedging due to rising interest rates.

  

Statement of Financial Position

 

Total assets and liquidity investments 

Total assets increased by 13 percent compared to the end of 2021. The company’s increased customer lending, together with a weaker Swedish krona, drove the increase in the company’s assets.

SEK’s total net exposures, after risk mitigation, amounted to Skr 438.2 billion as of December 31, 2022 (year-end 2021: Skr 372.5 billion). Credit exposures have increased to central governments and corporates, which is mainly due to new lending in the form of larger export credits that are guaranteed by EKN as well as increased lending to Swedish exporters.

Liabilities and equity 

As of December 31, 2022, the aggregate volume of available funds and shareholders’ equity exceeded the aggregate volume of loans outstanding and loans committed at all maturities. SEK considers all of its outstanding commitments to be covered through maturity. 

SEK has a credit facility in place with the Swedish National Debt Office of up to Skr 175 billion. The credit facility can be utilized when the Swedish export industry’s demand for financing is particularly high.

 

Capital adequacy 

As of December 31, 2022, SEK’s total own funds amounted to Skr 20.8 billion (year-end 2021: Skr 19.9 billion). The total capital ratio was 20.6 percent (year-end 2021: 21.6 percent), representing a margin of 4.1 percentage points above SEK’s estimate of Finansinspektionen’s (the “Swedish FSA”) requirement of 16.5 percent as of December 31, 2022. The corresponding Common Equity Tier 1 capital estimated requirement was 11.4 percent. Given that SEK’s own funds are comprised solely of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, this total capital ratio represents a margin of 9.2 percentage points above the requirement. Overall, SEK is strongly capitalized and has healthy liquidity.

Other events 

 

At SEK’s annual general meeting on March 24, 2022, Lars Linder-Aronson stepped down from his position as Chairman of the Board of Directors of SEK (the “Board”) and Lennart Jacobsen was elected as new Chairman of the Board. Hans Larsson stepped down from his position as member of the Board, and three new members were elected: Håkan Berg, Katarina Ljungqvist and Paula da Silva. A resolution was passed at the annual general meeting to adopt the income statement and balance sheet in SEK’s Annual and Sustainability Report 2021, and to appropriate distributable funds pursuant to the Board’s proposal.

SEK’s Deputy CEO Per Åkerlind has retired and no new Deputy CEO will be appointed. 

During the year, the roles as Head of Sustainability, Chief Information Officer, Head of Human Resources and Head of International Finance were filled. During the fourth quarter, SEK’s Chief Risk Officer left the company. His successor takes up the position in January 2023.

Risk factors and the macro environment

 

Various risks arise as part of SEK’s operations, including primarily credit risks, but also market, liquidity, refinancing, operational and sustainability risks. For a more detailed description of these risks, refer to the separate risk report Capital Adequacy and Risk Management Report Pillar 3 2021 and the Risk and Capital Management section in SEK’s 2021 Annual and Sustainability Report.

According to Statistics Sweden, Sweden’s GDP increased by 0.6 percent in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the previous quarter. Exports rose 0.5 percent. The unemployment rate amounted to 7.0 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2022, down 0.7 percentage points compared to the second quarter of 2022. The rate of inflation was 9.5 percent in November 2022, which represented an increase from October 2022 when the rate of inflation was 9.3 percent. The inflation rate is increasing significantly due to sharply rising food and energy prices. The Riksbank (Sweden’s Central Bank) has raised the repo rate on four occasions in 2022 by a total of 250 basis points and further hikes to the repo rate are expected. 

A continued high, and partly rising, inflation gives rise to expectations of continued interest rate hikes. A higher repo rate positively impacts SEK’s net interest income. The company anticipates that higher market interest rates will have a limited impact on its clients and, therefore, a limited indirect impact on SEK. 

SEK believes that there is a higher-than-normal level of risk factors in the financial markets that affect the company. SEK believes that information security threats, particularly cyber security, have increased, as a consequence of Sweden supporting Ukraine. Russia’s war in Ukraine is fueling inflation and the overall likelihood of a recession has increased. The war has little direct financial impact on SEK. The company has very low lending in Russia and no lending in Ukraine or Belarus. However, the high level of uncertainty may have a more long-term effect on SEK’s customers and, therefore, on SEK. 

The western world has gradually escalated sanctions against Russia and continues to support Ukraine with military and protective equipment, and contributes direct economic support to Ukraine’s armed forces. The long-term humanitarian and socioeconomic effects of Russia’s war in Ukraine are expected to be significant and the prevailing geopolitical security tension occasioned by the conflict could continue for a long time. 

There is still some increase in the spread of COVID-19. Despite this, the number of lockdowns due to COVID-19 is decreasing and SEK therefore sees some reduction in the probability of disruptions in supply chains resulting from COVID-19.

Financial targets

 

Profitability target A return on equity after tax of at least 5 percent.
Dividend policy Payment of an ordinary dividend of 20-40 percent of the profit for the year.
Capital target SEK’s total capital ratio is to exceed the Swedish FSA’s requirement by 2 to 4 percentage points and SEK’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio is to exceed the Swedish FSA’s requirement by at least 4 percentage points. Currently, the capital targets mean that the total capital ratio should amount to 18.5-20.5 percent and the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio should amount to 15.4 percent, based on SEK’s estimation of the Swedish FSA’s requirements as of December 31, 2022.

Note 1. Accounting policies

 

This condensed year-end report is presented in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The Consolidated Group’s consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), together with the interpretations from IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC). The IFRS standards applied by SEK are all endorsed by the European Union (EU). The accounting also follows the additional standards imposed by the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies (1995:1559) (ÅRKL) and the regulation and general guidelines issued by Finansinspektionen (the Swedish FSA), “Annual Reports in Credit Institutions and Securities Companies” (FFFS 2008:25). In addition to this, the supplementary accounting rules for groups (RFR 1) issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board have been applied. SEK also follows the state’s principles for external reporting in accordance with its State Ownership Policy and principles for state-owned enterprises.

This condensed year-end report of Aktiebolaget Svensk Exportkredit (publ) (Swedish Export Credit Corporation) (the “Parent Company”) has been prepared in accordance with the ÅRKL, and the RFR 2 recommendation, “Accounting for Legal Entities,” issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board, as well as the accounting regulations

of the Swedish FSA (FFFS 2008:25), which means that within the framework of the ÅRKL, IFRS has been applied to the greatest extent possible. The Parent Company’s results and total assets represent most of the results and total assets of the Consolidated Group, so the Consolidated Group’s information in these notes largely reflects the condition of the Parent Company. The condensed year-end report does not include all the disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the company’s annual financial statements as of December 31, 2021. 

The accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation of the Consolidated Group and the Parent Company are, in all material aspects, the same as those used for the 2021 annual financial statements. SEK analyzes and assesses the application and impact of changes in financial reporting standards that are applied within the Group. Changes that are not mentioned are either not applicable to SEK or have been determined to not have a material impact on SEK’s financial reporting. 

There are no IFRS or IFRS Interpretations Committee interpretations that are not yet applicable that are expected to have a material impact on SEK’s financial statements, capital adequacy or large exposure ratios.

The table above shows the book value of loans and nominal amounts for off-balance sheet exposures before expected credit losses for each stage as well as related loss allowance amounts, in order to place expected credit losses in relation to credit exposures. Overall, the credit portfolio has an extremely high credit quality and SEK

often uses risk mitigation measures, primarily through guarantees from the Swedish Export Credit Agency (EKN) and other government export credit agencies in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which explains the low provision ratio.

Provisions for expected credit losses (ECLs) are calculated using quantitative models based on inputs, assumptions and methods that are highly reliant on assessments. In particular, the following could heavily impact the level of provisions: the establishment of a material increase in credit risk, allowing for forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios, and the measurement of both ECLs over the next 12 months and lifetime ECLs. ECLs are based on objective assessments of what SEK expects to lose on the exposures given what was known on the reporting date and taking into account possible future events. The ECL is a probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating the outcome of several possible scenarios and where the data taken into consideration comprises information from previous conditions, current conditions and projections of future economic conditions. SEK’s method entails three scenarios being prepared for each probability of default curve: a base scenario, a downturn scenario, and an upturn scenario, where the scenarios are expressed in a business cycle parameter. The business cycle parameter reflects the general

risk of default in each geographic segment. The parameter is standard normally distributed where zero indicates a neutral economy as the economy has been on average, historically. The business cycle parameters for the base scenario are between -0.8 and -0.2 for the various probability of default (PD) segments. The base scenarios have been weighted at between 40 and 90 percent, the downturn scenarios have been weighted at between 10 and 60 percent, and the upturn scenarios have been weighted at zero percent between the different PD-segments. An improvement of the PD model has taken place during the first quarter of 2022, which means, among other things, that the difference between the base and downturn/upturn scenarios has increased and that new data sources are used. 

Due to the current macroeconomic uncertainty, SEK has made an overall adjustment according to management’s overall assessment. This resulted in an increase of expected credit losses, which was calculated pursuant to SEK’s IFRS 9 model as of December 31, 2022.

Uncertainty of valuation of Level 3 instruments 

As the estimation of parameters included in the models used to calculate the market value of Level 3 instruments is associated with subjectivity and uncertainty, SEK has conducted an analysis of the difference in fair value of Level 3 instruments using other established parameter values. Option models and discounted cash flows are used to value the Level 3 instruments. For the Level 3 instruments that are significantly affected by different types of correlations, which are not based on observable market data, a revaluation has been made by shifting the correlations. The correlation is expressed as a value between 1 and –1, where 0 indicates no relationship, 1 indicates a maximum positive relationship and -1 indicates a maximum negative relationship. The maximum correlation in the range of unobservable inputs can thus be from 1 to –1. In the analysis, the correlations have been adjusted by +/– 0.12, which represents the level SEK uses within its prudent valuation framework. For Level 3 instruments that are significantly affected by non-observable market data

in the form of SEK’s own creditworthiness, a revaluation has been made by shifting the credit curve. The revaluation is made by shifting the credit spreads by +/– 10 basis points, which has been assessed as a reasonable change in SEK’s credit spread. The analysis shows the impact of the non-observable market data on the market value. In addition, the market value will be affected by observable market data. The result of the analysis corresponds with SEK’s business model where issued securities are linked with a matched hedging derivative. The underlying market data is used to evaluate the issued security as well as to evaluate the fair value in the derivative. This means that a change in fair value of the issued security, excluding SEK’s own credit spread, is offset by an equally large change in fair value in the derivative.

The sensitivity analysis shows the effect that a shift in correlations or SEK’s own credit spread has on Level 3 instruments. The table presents maximum positive and negative change in fair value when correlations or SEK’s own credit spread is shifted by +/– 0.12 and +/– 10 basis

points, respectively. When determining the total maximum/minimum effect on total comprehensive income the most adverse/favorable shift is chosen, considering the net exposure arising from the issued securities and the derivatives, for each correlation.

1  Credit value adjustment (CVA) and Debt value adjustment (DVA) reflects how the counterparties’ credit risk as well as SEK’s own credit rating affects the fair value of derivatives. 

2  Own credit adjustment (OCA) reflects how the changes in SEK’s credit rating affects the fair value of financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss.

In accordance with SEK’s policies with regard to counterparty, interest rate, currency exchange, and other exposures, SEK uses, and is a party to, different kinds of derivative instruments, mostly various interest rate-related and currency exchange-related contracts,

primarily to hedge risk exposure inherent in financial assets and liabilities. These contracts are carried at fair value in the statements of financial position on a contract-by-contract basis.


Note 7. CIRR-system

 

Pursuant to the company’s assignment as stated in its owner instruction issued by the Swedish government, SEK administers credit granting in the Swedish system for officially supported export credits (CIRR-system). SEK receives compensation from the Swedish government in the form of an administrative compensation, which is calculated based on the principal amount outstanding. 

The administrative compensation paid by the state to SEK is recognized in the CIRR-system as administrative remuneration to SEK. Refer to the following tables of the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial positions for the CIRR-system, presented as reported to the owner. Interest expenses includes interest expenses for loans between SEK and the CIRR-system which reflects the borrowing cost for the CIRR-system. Interest expenses for derivatives hedging CIRR-loans are also recognized as interest

expenses, which differs from SEK’s accounting principles. Arrangement fees to SEK are recognized together with other arrangement fees as interest expenses. 

In addition to the CIRR-system, SEK administers the Swedish government’s previous concessionary credit program according to the same principles as the CIRR-system. No new lending is being offered under the concessionary credit program. As of December 31, 2022, concessionary loans outstanding amounted to Skr 361 million (year-end 2021: Skr 315 million) and operating profit for the program amounted to Skr -19 million (2021: Skr -21 million) for the period January-December 2022. SEK’s administrative compensation for administrating the concessionary credit program amounted to Skr 1 million (2021: Skr 1 million).

Credit risk 

For classification and quantification of credit risk, SEK uses the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach. Specifically, SEK applies the Foundation Approach. Under the Foundation Approach, the company determines the PD within one year for each of its counterparties, while the remaining parameters are established in accordance with CRR. Application of the IRB approach requires the Swedish FSA’s permission and is subject to ongoing supervision. Certain exposures are, by permission from the Swedish FSA, exempted from application of the IRB approach, and, instead, the standardized approach is applied. Counterparty risk exposure amounts in derivatives are calculated in accordance with the standardized approach for counterparty credit risk.

Credit valuation adjustment risk 

Credit valuation adjustment risk is calculated for all over-the-counter derivative contracts, except for credit derivatives used as credit protection and transactions with a qualifying central counterparty. SEK calculates this capital requirement according to the standardized approach.

 

Foreign exchange risk 

Foreign exchange risk is calculated according to the standardized approach, whereas the scenario approach is used for calculating the gamma and volatility risks.


Year-end Report 2022Page 23 of 29

 

Commodities risk 

Capital requirements for commodity risk are calculated in accordance with the simplified approach under the standardized approach. The scenario approach is used for calculating the gamma and volatility risks.

 

Operational risk 

Capital requirement for operational risk is calculated according to the standardized approach. The company’s operations are divided into business areas as defined in the CRR. The capital requirement for each area is calculated by multiplying a factor depending on the business area by an income indicator. The factors applicable for SEK are 15 percent and 18 percent. The income indicators consist of the average operating income for the past three financial years for each business area.

 

Transitional rules 

The capital adequacy ratios reflect the full impact of IFRS 9 as no transitional rules for IFRS 9 were utilized.

 

Capital buffer requirements 

SEK expects to meet capital buffer requirements with Common Equity Tier 1 capital. The mandatory capital conservation buffer is 2.5 percent. The countercyclical buffer rate that is applied to exposures located in Sweden was increased from 0 percent to 1 percent as of September 29, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the capital requirement related to relevant exposures in Sweden was 71 percent (year-end 2021: 68 percent) of the total relevant capital requirement regardless of location; this fraction is also the weight applied on the Swedish buffer rate when calculating SEK’s countercyclical capital buffer. On June 21, 2022, the Swedish FSA decided to further increase the countercyclical buffer rate to 2 percent, which will take effect on June 22, 2023. Buffer rates applicable in other countries may have effects on SEK, but as most capital requirements for SEK’s relevant credit exposures are related to Sweden, the potential effect is limited. As of December 31, 2022, the contribution to SEK’s countercyclical buffer from buffer rates in other countries was 0.09 percentage points (year-end 2021: 0.03 percentage points). SEK has not been classified as a systemically important institution by the Swedish FSA. The capital buffer requirements for systemically important institutions that came into force January 1, 2016, therefore do not apply to SEK.

 

Pillar 2 guidance 

The Swedish FSA will in connection with the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (”SREP”) determine appropriate levels for the institution’s own funds. The Swedish FSA will then inform the institution of the differences between the appropriate levels and requirements under the Supervisory Regulation, the Buffer Act and the Pillar 2 requirements. These notifications are called Pillar 2 guidance. The Pillar 2 guidance covers both the risk-based capital requirement and the leverage ratio requirement.

Note 11. Reference interest rate reform

 

Since the 2010s, there has been an ongoing reform to replace or amend benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR and other interbank offered rates (“IBOR”). SEK’s exposure that is directly affected by the reference interest rate reform is primarily its lending contracts with floating interest rates, its lending and borrowing contracts at fixed interest rates that are hedged to floating interest rates as well as swaps to floating interest rates. The main floating interest rate exposures relate to USD LIBOR, STIBOR and EURIBOR. LIBOR is the group of benchmark interest rates that currently has a timed settlement plan. GBP LIBOR, CHF LIBOR, EUR LIBOR, JPY LIBOR and USD LIBOR 1W and USD LIBOR 2M ceased on December 31, 2021. For USD LIBOR, the rest of the maturities will expire after June 30, 2023. Outstanding exposures with a reference interest rate of USD LIBOR and a maturity after June 2023 will be converted during the period up to June 30, 2023. Change of reference interest rate during the reform will be carried out with the intention that the change shall be financially neutral for each party. SEK has lending contracts and derivative contracts maturing after June 30, 2023 in USD LIBOR with a nominal amount of USD 1,682 million and USD 19,063 million, respectively. SEK has adhered to the 2020 ISDA Fallback Protocol, which sets a market standard for handling between counterparties the conversion of derivatives to a new reference interest rate during the reference interest rate reform. For lending contracts, conversion is handled by agreement. SEK has applied the relief under IFRS 9 Reform for new reference rates.

 

Note 12. Transactions with related parties

 

Transactions with related parties are described in Note 27 to the annual financial statements in SEK’s 2021 Annual and Sustainability Report. During the first quarter of 2022, SEK repaid the drawdown of Skr 10 billion that was made from the credit facility with the Swedish National Debt Office during the first quarter of 2020. Beyond that, no material changes have taken place in relation to transactions with related parties compared to the description in SEK’s 2021 Annual and Sustainability Report.

Alternative performance measures (see *) 

Alternative performance measures (APMs) are key performance indicators that are not defined under IFRS or in the Capital Requirements Directive IV (CRD IV) or in regulation (EU) No. 575/2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms (CRR). SEK has presented these, either because they are in common use within the industry or because they comply with SEK’s assignment from the Swedish government. The APMs are used internally to monitor and manage operations, and are not considered to be directly comparable with similar key performance indicators presented by other companies. For additional information regarding the APMs, refer to www.sek.se.

Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) 

The liquidity coverage ratio is a liquidity metric that shows SEK’s highly liquid assets in relation to the company’s net cash outflows for the next 30 calendar days. An LCR of 100 percent means that the company’s liquidity reserve is of sufficient size to enable the company to manage stressed liquidity outflows over a period of 30 days. Unlike the Swedish FSA’s rules, the EU rules take into account the outflows that correspond to the need to pledge collateral for derivatives that would arise as a result of the effects of a negative market scenario.

SEK considers these amounts to be useful measurements of SEK’s lending volumes. Accordingly, comments on lending volumes in this report pertain to amounts based on this definition.
