1 Exposure at default (EAD) shows the size of the outstanding exposure at default.
2 Of which counterparty risk in derivatives: EAD Skr 4,491 million (year-end 2025: Skr 5,145 million), Risk exposure amount of Skr 852 million
(year-end 2025: Skr 1,059 million) and Capital requirement of Skr 68 million (year-end 2025: Skr 85 million).
3 Of which related to specialized lending: EAD Skr 8,718 million (year-end 2025: Skr 8,258 million), Risk exposure amount of Skr 9,201 million
(year-end 2025: Skr 8,473 million) and Capital requirement of Skr 736 million (year-end 2025: Skr 678 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.
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
SEK calculates the capital requirement for operational risks in
accordance with the standardized approach in the CRR (Article 312
of Regulation (EU) 575/2013). The standardized approach is based
on a Business Indicator Component (BIC), where the Company’s
Business Indicator (BI) is first calculated as the sum of three
components: Interest, Leases and Dividend Component (ILDC),
Services Component (SC), and Financial Component (FC). The BIC
then forms the regulatory capital base for operational risks and is
used to determine the capital requirement by applying standardized
percentages set out in the regulation. For SEK, the BIC is multiplied
by 12 percent.
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 1 percent to 2
percent as of June 22, 2023. As of June 30, 2026, the capital
requirement related to relevant exposures in Sweden was 70 percent
(year-end 2025: 71 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. 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
June 30, 2026, the contribution to SEK’s countercyclical buffer
from buffer rates in other countries was 0.16 percentage points
(year-end 2025: 0.15 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 on 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.
