BASE PROSPECTUS

AKTIEBOLAGET SVENSK EXPORTKREDIT (publ)
(SWEDISH EXPORT CREDIT CORPORATION)
(Incorporated in the Kingdom of Sweden with limited liability)
Unlimited Programme for the Continuous Issuance of Debt Instruments

This Base Prospectus has been approved by the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF"), which is the Luxembourg competent authority under the
Luxembourg law dated 16 July 2019 on prospectuses for securities (the "Luxembourg Prospectus Law") and Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "EU Prospectus Regulation"), as a base
prospectus issued in compliance with the EU Prospectus Regulation for the purpose of giving information with regard to the issue of instruments (the "Instruments") under the programme
(the "Programme") described in this Base Prospectus during the period of twelve months after the date hereof. This Base Prospectus constitutes a Base Prospectus pursuant to Article 8(6)
of the EU Prospectus Regulation. The CSSF has only approved the Base Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the EU
Prospectus Regulation. In the context of such approval, the CSSF neither assumes any responsibility nor gives any undertakings as to the economic and financial soundness of the transactions
contemplated by this Base Prospectus and the quality or solvency of Aktiebolaget Svensk Exportkredit (publ) (Swedish Export Credit Corporation) ("SEK" or the "Issuer") in line with the
provisions of article 6(4) of the Luxembourg Prospectus Law. Such an approval should not be considered as an endorsement of SEK nor as an endorsement of the quality of any Instruments
that are the subject of this Base Prospectus. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in such Instruments. This Base Prospectus is valid for a period of
twelve months from the date of approval, with the validity period ending on 1 April 2023. There is no obligation to supplement the Base Prospectus in the event of significant new factors,
material mistakes or material inaccuracies when the Base prospectus is no longer valid. The CSSF has neither reviewed nor approved the information contained in this Base Prospectus in
relation to any issuance of Instruments under this Programme for which a prospectus is not required in accordance with the EU Prospectus Regulation and for which a Pricing Supplement
(as defined herein) is used. Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Instruments issued under this Base Prospectus to be admitted to trading on the regulated
market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange which is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended) on markets in financial instruments ("EU MiFID II") and to
be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, during the period of twelve months after the date hereof. The CSSF has been requested to provide the competent authority
(for the purposes of the EU Prospectus Regulation) in Sweden with a certificate of approval attesting that this Base Prospectus has been drawn up in accordance with the EU Prospectus
Regulation. The Programme also permits Instruments to be issued on the basis that they will not be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation by any listing authority, stock exchange
and/or quotation system or to be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation by such other or further listing authorities, stock exchanges and/or quotation systems as may be agreed with
SEK.
The Instruments have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or with any securities regulatory authority of any
state or other jurisdiction of the United States, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in certain transactions
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Terms used in the preceding sentence have the meanings given to them by Regulation S ("Regulation S") under the Securities
Act. Instruments in bearer form are subject to U.S. tax law requirements and may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or its possessions or to United States persons,
except in certain transactions permitted by U.S. tax regulations. Terms used in the preceding sentence have the meanings given to them by the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and regulations thereunder (the "Code").
The Instruments may be offered and sold (A) in bearer and registered form outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S and (B) in registered form to qualified
institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A ("Rule 144A") under the Securities Act) in reliance on Rule 144A. Prospective purchasers that are qualified institutional buyers ("QIBs") are
hereby notified that sellers of the Instruments may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. For a description of these and
certain further restrictions on offers, sales and transfers of Instruments, see 'Transfer Restrictions' and 'Plan of Distribution'.
SEK has been assigned a senior unsecured debt rating of Aa1 from Moody's Investors Service (Nordics) AB ("Moody's") and a senior unsecured debt rating (for debt maturing in one year
or more) of AA+ from S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited ("S&P"). Each of Moody's and S&P is established in the EEA and registered under the EU CRA Regulation. As such, each of
Moody's and S&P is included in the list of credit rating agencies published by ESMA on its website (at https://www.esma.europa.eu/supervision/credit-rating-agencies/risk) in accordance
with the EU CRA Regulation. The rating Moody's has assigned is endorsed by Moody's Investors Service Limited, which is established in the UK and registered under Regulation (EU) No.
1060/2009 on credit rating agencies as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom (the "UK") by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA") (the "UK
CRA Regulation"). The rating S&P has assigned is endorsed by S&P Global Ratings UK Limited, which is established in the UK and registered under the UK CRA Regulation. According
to Moody's rating system, the Aa1 rating indicates that the obligations are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk. According to S&P rating system, the AA+ rating
indicates that the issuer has very strong capacity to meet financial commitments. In accordance with Moody's ratings definitions available as at the date of this Base Prospectus on
https://www.moodys.com/ratings-process/Ratings-Definitions/002002, obligations rated 'Aa1' are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk. In accordance with
S&P's ratings definitions available as at the date of this Base Prospectus on https://www.spglobal.com/ratings/en/research/articles/190705-s-p-global-ratings-definitions-504352, obligations
rated 'AA+' are judged to differ from the highest-rated obligations only to a small degree and indicates that the relevant issuer's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation
is very strong.
In general, European regulated investors are restricted from using a rating for regulatory purposes if such rating is not issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Economic
Area (the "EEA") and registered under the EU CRA Regulation or (1) the rating is provided by a credit rating agency not established in the EEA but is endorsed by a credit rating agency
established in the EEA and registered under the EU CRA Regulation or (2) the rating is provided by a credit rating agency not established in the EEA which is certified under the EU CRA
Regulation. In general, UK regulated investors are restricted from using a rating for regulatory purposes if such rating is not issued by a credit rating agency established in the UK and
registered under the UK CRA Regulation or (1) the rating is provided by a credit rating agency not established in the UK but is endorsed by a credit rating agency established in the UK and
registered under the UK CRA Regulation or (2) the rating is provided by a credit rating agency not established in the UK which is certified under the UK CRA Regulation.
Tranches of Instruments issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche of Instruments is rated, such rating will not necessarily be the same as the rating(s) described
above or the rating(s) assigned to Instruments already issued. Where a Tranche of Instruments is rated, the applicable rating(s) will be specified in the relevant Final Terms.
A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Investing
in Instruments issued under the Programme involves certain risks. The principal risk factors that may affect the abilities of SEK to fulfil its obligations under the Instruments are
discussed under "Risk Factors" below.

Each Tranche (as defined herein) of Instruments, for which a prospectus is required in connection with the
issue of such Instruments in accordance with the EU Prospectus Regulation, will be issued on the terms set
out herein under "Terms and Conditions of the Instruments" (the "Conditions") as completed by a
document specific to such Tranche called final terms (the "Final Terms") or as supplemented, amended
and/or replaced in a separate prospectus specific to such Tranche (the "Drawdown Prospectus"). Each
Tranche of Instruments, for which no prospectus is required in connection with the issue of such Instruments
in accordance with the EU Prospectus Regulation, will be issued on the terms set out in the Conditions, as
supplemented, amended and/or replaced by a document specific to such Tranche called a pricing
supplement (the "Pricing Supplement"). Any reference to the Final Terms shall be read and construed as
a reference to a Drawdown Prospectus or a Pricing Supplement (as applicable) unless the context requires

or any information supplied by SEK or such other information as is in the public domain and, if given or
made, such information or representation should not be relied upon as having been authorised by SEK or
any Dealer.
Neither the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates have authorised the whole or any part of this Base
Prospectus and none of them makes any representation or warranty or accepts any responsibility as to the

for any acts or omissions of SEK or any other person in connection with the issue and offering of
Instruments under this Programme. Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus or any Final Terms nor the

information contained in this Base Prospectus is true subsequent to the date hereof or the date upon which

The distribution of this Base Prospectus and any Final Terms and the offering, sale and delivery of
Instruments in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Base
Prospectus comes are required by SEK and the Dealers to inform themselves about and to observe any such
restrictions. For a description of certain restrictions on offers, sales and deliveries of Instruments and on

jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the
account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as those terms are defined in Regulation S), except in certain
transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Instruments in bearer form are
subject to U.S. tax law requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the Instruments may not be offered,
sold or delivered to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons or persons in the United States
or its possessions, as those terms are defined in the Code. The Instruments may be offered and sold (A) in
bearer and registered form outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S and
(B) in registered form to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A.
NEITHER THE PROGRAMME NOR ANY INSTRUMENT ISSUED HEREUNDER HAS BEEN
APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
(THE "SEC"), ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION IN THE UNITED STATES OR ANY
OTHER U.S. REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAS ANY OF THE FOREGOING
AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF ANY OFFERING OF
INSTRUMENTS OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS BASE PROSPECTUS. ANY
REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE IN THE UNITED
STATES.
PRODUCT GOVERNANCE UNDER EU MiFID II
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID Product
Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "EU MiFID Product Governance Rules"),
any Dealer subscribing for any Instruments is a manufacturer in respect of such Instruments, but otherwise
neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the
purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules.
The Final Terms in respect of any Instruments may include a legend entitled "EU MiFID II Product
Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Instruments and which
channels for distribution of the Instruments are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or
recommending the Instruments (a "distributor") should take into consideration the target market
assessment; however, a distributor subject to EU MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target
market assessment in respect of the Instruments (by either adopting or refining the target market
assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
PRODUCT GOVERNANCE UNDER UK MiFIR
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the UK MiFIR
product governance rules set out in the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance
Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for any Instruments
is a manufacturer in respect of such Instruments, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any
of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the UK MiFIR Product Governance
Rules.
The applicable Final Terms in respect of any instruments may include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR Product
Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Instruments and which
channels for distribution of the Instruments are appropriate. Any distributor should take into consideration
the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules
is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Instruments (by either
adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS
If the Final Terms in respect of any Instruments includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA
Retail Investors", the Instruments are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and
should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes,
a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article
4(1) of EU MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the
"Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as
defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of EU MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the
Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No.
1286/2014 (as amended the "EU PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Instruments or otherwise
10225474469-v16
- iii -
70-41031802

making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the
Instruments or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under
the EU PRIIPs Regulation.
IMPORTANT - UK RETAIL INVESTORS
If the Final Terms in respect of any Instruments includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to UK
Retail Investors", the Instruments are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and
should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the UK. For these purposes,
a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article
2 of Regulation (EU) No. 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (ii) a
customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended
(the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97,
where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of
Regulation (EU) No. 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a
qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by
virtue of the EUWA. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No.
1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for
offering or selling the Instruments or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has
been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Instruments or otherwise making them available to any
retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
This Base Prospectus does not constitute an offer of, or an invitation to subscribe for or purchase, any
Instruments and should not be considered as a recommendation by SEK, the Dealers or any of them that
any recipient of the Base Prospectus or any Final Terms should subscribe for or purchase any Instruments.
Each recipient of the Base Prospectus or any Final Terms shall be deemed to have made its own
investigation and appraisal of the condition (financial or otherwise) of SEK.
In addition, in the context of any offer of Instruments that is not made within an exemption from the
requirement to publish a prospectus under the EU Prospectus Regulation, there is certain important
information that is set out herein under "Important Information relating to Public Offer of Instruments".
BENCHMARKS REGULATION
Interest and/or other amounts payable under the Instruments may be calculated by reference to certain
reference rates. Any such reference rate may constitute a benchmark for the purposes of Regulation (EU)
2016/1011 (the "EU Benchmarks Regulation"). If any such reference rate does constitute such a
benchmark, the applicable Final Terms will indicate whether or not the benchmark is provided by an
administrator included in the register of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by the
European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 (Register of administrators
and benchmarks) of the EU Benchmarks Regulation. The registration status of any administrator under the
EU Benchmarks Regulation is a matter of public record and, save where required by applicable law, SEK
does not intend to update the applicable Final Terms to reflect any change in the registration status of the
administrator.
PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 309B OF THE SECURITIES AND
FUTURES ACT 2001 OF SINGAPORE
The applicable Final Terms in respect of any Instruments may include a legend entitled "Singapore
Securities and Futures Act Product Classification" which will state the product classification of the
Instruments pursuant to section 309B(1) of the Securities and Futures Act 2001 of Singapore (the "SFA").
SEK will make a determination in relation to each issue about the classification of the Instruments being
offered for purposes of section 309B(1)(a). Any such legend included in the Final Terms will constitute
notice to the "relevant persons" for the purposes of section 309B(1)(c) of the SFA.
STABILISATION
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Instruments, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) acting as the
Stabilisation Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilisation Manager(s)) may over-allot
Instruments or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Instruments at a level
higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilisation may not occur. Any stabilisation
10225474469-v16
- iv -
70-41031802

action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the final terms of the offer of
the relevant Tranche of Instruments is made and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later
than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of Instruments and 60 days after the
date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Instruments. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must
be conducted by the relevant Stabilisation Manager(s) (or person(s) acting on behalf of any Stabilisation
Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
DEFINITIONS
In this Base Prospectus, unless otherwise specified, references to a "Relevant State" are references to a
Member State of the EEA, references to "USD", "U.S.$", "U.S. dollars" or "dollars" are to United States
dollars, references to "£" or "sterling" are to the lawful currency of the United Kingdom, references to
"SKr" are to Swedish Krona, references to "Euro", "euro", "" or "EUR" are to the single currency
introduced at the start of the third stage of European Economic and Monetary Union and as defined in
Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 974/98 of 3 May 1998 on the introduction of the euro, as amended,
references to "Renminbi" and "CNY" are to the lawful currency of the People's Republic of China
(excluding the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the PRC, the Macau Special Administrative
Region of the PRC and Taiwan) (the "PRC") and references to "S$" are to the lawful currency of Singapore.
In this Base Prospectus, references to websites or uniform resource locators (URLs) are inactive textual
references and are included for information purposes only. The contents of any such website or URL, with
the exception of links to the electronic addresses where information incorporated by reference is available,
do not form part of, nor is deemed to be incorporated into, this Base Prospectus.
NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS IN THE UNITED STATES
The Instruments have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or with any securities
regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction in the United States of America, and may not be
offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction
not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in compliance with any applicable
state securities laws. Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved the
Instruments or determined whether this Base Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the
contrary is a criminal offence in the United States. The Instruments issued hereunder may be offered (a) to
QIBs in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by
Rule 144A and (b) outside the United States only to non-U.S. persons in "offshore transactions" in
accordance with Regulation S.
ENFORCEMENT OF LIABILITIES
SEK is a public limited liability company incorporated in Sweden, and all of its directors and executive
officers and the experts named herein are residents of countries other than the United States. The assets of
SEK and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. As
a result, it may be difficult or impossible for investors to effect service of process within the United States
upon such persons or to realise against them or SEK upon judgments of courts of the United States
predicated upon civil liabilities under the Securities Act. SEK has been advised by its Swedish counsel,
Wistrand Advokatbyrå, that there is doubt as to the enforceability of claims in Sweden in respect of
liabilities predicated solely upon the Securities Act, whether or not such claims are based upon judgments
of United States courts.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Base Prospectus and certain documents incorporated by reference herein contain certain forward-
looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Section 27A of the Securities Act. These forward-looking
statements are based on SEK's current expectations and projections about future events. These statements
include but are not limited to:
·
statements regarding financial projections and estimates and their underlying assumptions;
·
statements regarding plans, objectives and expectations relating to future operations and services;
·
statements regarding the impact of regulatory initiatives on SEK's operations;
10225474469-v16
- v -
70-41031802

·
statements regarding general industry and macroeconomic growth rates and SEK's performance
relative to them; and
·
statements regarding future performance.
Forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words "expect", "anticipate", "believe",
"intend", "estimate", "should", and similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and therefore investors
should not place undue reliance on them. Forward-looking statements speak only on the date they are made,
and SEK undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement in light of new information or
future events, although SEK intends to continue to meet its ongoing disclosure obligations under the U.S.
securities laws (such as the obligations to file annual reports on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K) and
under other applicable laws. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, most of
which are difficult to predict and generally beyond SEK's control. Investors are cautioned that a number of
important factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in, or
implied by, forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the following:
·
disruptions in the financial markets or economic recessions (including as a result of geopolitical
instability and the prolongation of the global outbreak of COVID-19) may have an adverse effect
on SEK's operations or financial performance;
·
reduced access to international capital markets for the financing of SEK's operations, or less
favourable financing terms, may have a negative impact on SEK's profitability and its ability to
fulfil its obligations;
·
disruptions in the financial markets or economic recessions (including as a result of a continuation
of the global outbreak of COVID-19) may have an adverse effect on the credit quality of borrowers
and cause risk to other counterparties, which may cause SEK to incur credit losses or affect the
value of its assets;
·
changes in laws, regulations or accounting standards may adversely affect SEK's business;
·
SEK may experience negative changes in the value of its assets or liabilities and may incur other
losses related to volatile and illiquid market conditions;
·
losses could result from SEK's derivatives used for hedging, and SEK's hedging strategies may not
be effective;
·
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could harm SEK's business;
·
increasing competition may have an adverse effect on SEK's income and business;
·
SEK is exposed to significant operational risk, which could harm SEK's business, financial
performance or the ability to repay its debt;
·
SEK is exposed to risks from the impact of climate change, which could have a negative impact
on SEK's reputation, business, results of operations and creditworthiness of its customers;
·
developments in emerging market countries may result in credit losses for SEK on loans to
customers in those countries;
·
negative interest rates may have an impact on SEK's profitability; and
·
the transition from the use of the London interbank offered rate may adversely affect SEK's
profitability.
Any potential investor should, however, consult any additional disclosures that SEK has made or may make
in documents that SEK has filed or may file with the SEC and under other applicable laws and regulations.
ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Certain alternative performance measures (as defined in the ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance
Measures) ("Alternative Performance Measures" or "APMs") are included in this Base Prospectus. See

INSTRUMENTS ISSUED AS GREEN BONDS, SOCIAL BONDS OR SUSTAINABILITY BONDS
None of the Dealers accepts any responsibility for any environmental or social assessment of any
Instruments issued as Green Bonds, Social Bonds or Sustainability Bonds (each as defined below) or makes
any representation or warranty or assurance whether such Instruments will meet any investor expectations
or requirements regarding such "green", "sustainable", "social" or similar labels. None of the Dealers is
responsible for the use of proceeds for any Instruments issued as Green Bonds, Social Bonds or
Sustainability Bonds, nor the impact or monitoring of such use of proceeds.
In 2015, the Issuer published its green bond framework (as may be amended, supplemented or replaced
from time to time, the "Green Bond Framework") and CICERO Shades of Green has issued an
independent second opinion, dated 9 September 2014 (the "2014 SPO") evaluating the ability of the Green
Bond Framework to secure projects that support a low carbon and climate friendly future. The Issuer
published its Sustainability Bond Framework (as may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to
time the "Sustainability Bond Framework") in November 2021. CICERO Shades of Green has issued an
independent second opinion, dated 7 December 2021 (the "2021 SPO") confirming alignment of the
Sustainability Bond Framework with: (in respect of Green Bonds) the International Capital Markets
Association ("ICMA") Green Bond Principles (2021 edition); (in respect of Social Bonds) the ICMA Social
Bond Principles 2020 and the UN Sustainability Development Goals; and (in respect of Sustainability
Bonds) the ICMA Sustainability Bond Guidelines 2018 (as well as the applicable principles for Green
Bonds and Social Bonds above). The proceeds of Instruments that are issued as Green Bonds may be used
in accordance with the provisions of either the Green Bond Framework or the applicable provisions of the
Sustainability Bond Framework, or both (or if specified in the relevant Final Terms, as so specified).

deemed to be, a recommendation by the Dealers or any other person to buy, sell or hold any Instruments.

any specific regulatory or other regime or oversight. Prospective investors must determine for themselves
the relevance of any such opinion or certification and/or the information contained therein.
In the event any such Instruments are, or are intended to be, listed, or admitted to trading on a dedicated

RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should note that the risks relating to SEK, the industry in which it operates and the
Instruments outlined below are the risks that SEK believes to be the most relevant to an assessment by a
prospective investor of whether to consider an investment in the Instruments. However, as the risks SEK
faces relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future, prospective
investors should consider among other things, the risks and uncertainties described below.
Prospective investors should read the entire Base Prospectus. Words and expressions defined in the "Terms
and Conditions of the Instruments" below or elsewhere in this Base Prospectus have the same meanings in
this section. Investing in the Instruments involves certain risks. In addition, the purchase of certain
Instruments may involve substantial risks and be suitable only for investors who have the knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters necessary to enable them to evaluate the risks and the merits
of an investment in the Instruments. Prospective investors should make such inquiries as they deem
necessary without relying on SEK or any Dealer and should consult with their financial, tax, legal,
accounting and other advisers, prior to deciding to make an investment in the Instruments. Prospective
investors should consider, among other things, the following:
Risks Relating to SEK
Described below are the most significant risk factors that could affect the business, results of operations
and financial condition of SEK and its wholly-owned subsidiary (together, the "Group") and could cause
SEK's results to differ materially from those expressed in public statements or documents.
The factors discussed below should not be regarded as an explanation of all potential risks that SEK may
face.
Market Risks
COVID-19 has had and could have a further adverse effect on SEK's business and operations.

While markets stabilised and GDP outlook grew more positive by the end of 2020 and during 2021, a
prolongation of the COVID-19 pandemic could significantly affect economic growth and business
operations across the global economy, both as a result of weakened economic activity and in terms of the
health and wellbeing of employees being affected. Such weakening of the economy could have a material
adverse impact on the financial performance or operations of counterparties to SEK and consequently
impact SEK, or the cost of funding for SEK, which could have an adverse impact on SEK's business,
financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Although the overall impact of COVID-19 on SEK's
financial condition and results of operations during 2020 and 2021 has been limited (to some extent due to
increased demand for lending caused by clients' reduced access to capital markets and other forms of
financing), there can be no assurance that the impacts on SEK will remain limited amidst a prolongation of
the outbreak. While a majority of central banks and governments have announced financial stimulus
packages in order to counteract negative GDP developments during 2020 and 2021, the direct and indirect
impact of the continued global COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain. Concerns remain as to whether
these policy tools will counter anticipated macro-economic risks.

The unforeseen transition from normal on-site office work to working remotely during the COVID-19
pandemic has also created challenges in terms of deploying reliable technical solutions for internal
communication and operations. Although, as a result of quick mobilisation and timely management actions
during the spring of 2020, SEK managed to resolve the initial challenges in a timely manner and ensured
the continuity of its operations with limited impact on SEK's business or the Group's clients, there can be
no assurance that these technical solutions will remain sufficient or that other challenges from working
remotely will not emerge.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. As a result, there may be other material adverse impacts on
SEK's business, operations and financial condition that are unpredictable at this time. The extent of the
impact of COVID-19 on SEK's operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments,
including the duration and spread of the outbreak, the length of time government and commercial travel
limitations are in place, the effectiveness of SEK's remote work arrangements, the successful execution of
plans in connection with eventual return of its personnel to SEK's office, actions taken by governmental
authorities in response to the pandemic, as well as other direct and indirect impacts on SEK and its

#17">Regulatory action in the event SEK is failing or likely to fail could materially adversely affect the value of the Instruments.

#17">Under the Resolution Act, substantial powers are granted to the Swedish National Debt Office and in certain circumstances, in consultation with the Swedish FSA. These powers enable the Debt Office to implement resolution measures with respect to a re...
#17">The exercise of any resolution power or any suggestion of any such exercise could materially adversely affect the value of any Instruments and could lead to Holders losing some or all of the value of their investment in the Instruments.
#17">The Swedish National Debt Office may exercise the bail-in tool in respect of SEK and the Instruments, which may result in Holders losing some or all of their investment.
#17">Mandatory write-down and conversion of instruments may affect the Holders, which may result in Holders losing some or all of their investment in the Instruments.
#18">Holders agree to be bound by the exercise of Bail-in and Loss Absorption Powers by the Relevant Resolution Authority.
#18">In line with European legislation and in recognition of the powers granted by law to the Relevant Resolution Authority, by its acquisition of the Instruments, each Holder acknowledges and accepts that any liability arising under the Instruments may b...
#19">The regulation and reform of "benchmarks" may adversely affect the value of Instruments linked to such "benchmarks".
#19">In particular, the EU Benchmarks Regulation came into force on 1 January 2018. The EU Benchmarks Regulation applies to "contributors", "administrators" and "users" of "benchmarks" in the EU, and, among other things: (i) requires benchmark administrat...

#19">The market continues to develop in relation to risk-free rates (including overnight rates) as reference rates for Floating Rate Instruments.
#21">The administrator of SONIA, STR, SOFR or any related indices may make changes that could change the value of SONIA, STR, SOFR or any related index, or discontinue SONIA, STR, SOFR or any related index.
#21">The Bank of England, the Federal Reserve, Bank of New York or the European Central Bank (or their successors) as administrators of SONIA (and the SONIA Compounded Index), SOFR (and the SOFR Index) or STR (and the STR Compounded Index), respectivel...
#21">An investment in Instruments linked to an index, exchange rate, securities or commodities entails significant risks not associated with a similar investment in fixed or floating rate debt securities.
#22">Furthermore, prospective investors should also appreciate that:
- #22">(i) an investment in the Instruments is not the same as an investment in the underlying equities or commodities, and does not confer any interest in the underlying equities or commodities or rights to vote or receive dividends;
- #22">(ii) they cannot rely, and will not at any time in the future be able to rely, on SEK to provide them with any information relating to, or to keep under review on their behalf, the business, financial condition, prospects, status or affairs of any und...
- #22">(iii) SEK has not made and is not making any representations whatsoever as to the reference entity or any information contained in any document filed by the reference entity with any exchange or with any regulatory authority or governmental entity;
- #22">(iv) SEK may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of commercial or investment banking activities or other business including any derivatives business (howsoever defined) with the reference entity or any of its sub...
- #22">(v) SEK may, whether by virtue of the types of relationships described above or otherwise, at the date hereof this date or at any time be in possession of information in relation to any obligors of the reference entity which is or may be material in t...
#23">The qualification of certain Senior Preferred Instruments or the Senior Non-Preferred Instruments as "eligible liabilities" is subject to uncertainty.
#23">The Senior Non-Preferred Instruments rank junior to claims of SEK's other unsubordinated creditors.
#23">SEK's obligations under Subordinated Instruments are subordinated to most of SEK's liabilities.
#24">Events of Default
#24">There is no active trading market for the Instruments.
#24">Because the Global Instruments are held by or on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, and/or DTC, investors will have to rely on their procedures for transfer, payment and communication with SEK.
#25">Minimum Specified Denomination and higher integral multiples.
#25">Further Issuances.

#26">In certain circumstances, SEK can substitute or vary the terms of the Senior Preferred Instruments that are MREL Eligible Liabilities, Senior Non-Preferred Instruments or Subordinated Instruments.
#26">No limitation on issuing debt.
#27">No right of set-off or counterclaim.
#28">Risks relating to Renminbi denominated Instruments
#28">Renminbi is not freely convertible and there are significant restrictions on the remittance of Renminbi into and out of the PRC which may adversely affect the liquidity of Renminbi Instruments.
#28">There is only limited availability of Renminbi outside the PRC, which may affect the liquidity of the Renminbi Instruments and SEK's ability to source Renminbi outside the PRC to service Renminbi Instruments.
#29">Investment in Renminbi Instruments is subject to exchange rate risks and SEK may make payments of interest and principal in U.S. dollars in certain circumstances.
#29">Investment in Renminbi Instruments is subject to interest rate risks.
#29">Payments with respect to the Renminbi Instruments may be made only in the manner designated in the Renminbi Instruments.
