1  Recognized under provision in Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Off-balance sheet exposures consist of guarantee commitments
and committed undisbursed loans, see Note 9.
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 business cycle parameter follows a
standard normal distribution where zero indicates a neutral economy
as the economy has been on average, historically. The business
cycle parameters for the base scenario are between 0.3 and 1.1 for
the various probability of default (PD) segments. The base scenarios
have been weighted at 50 percent, the downturn scenarios have been
weighted at between 40 percent and 50 percent, and the upturn
scenarios have been weighted at between 0 percent and 10 percent
between the different PD-segments.
