BASE PROSPECTUS

AB SVENSK EXPORTKREDIT
(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 for the purpose of Article 5.4 of Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended (the "Prospectus Directive") and relevant implementing legislation in
Luxembourg (being article 7(1) of the Law of 10 July 2005 on the Prospectuses for Securities, as amended (the "Luxembourg Prospectus Law")), as a base
prospectus issued in compliance with the Prospectus Directive and relevant implementing legislation in Luxembourg for the purpose of giving information with
regard to the issue of instruments (the "Instruments") under the programme (the "Programme") during the period of twelve months after the date hereof. By
approving this Base Prospectus, the CSSF assumes no responsibility as to the economic and financial soundness of the transaction and the quality and solvency
of AB Svensk Exportkredit (Swedish Export Credit Corporation) ("SEK") in accordance with the provisions of article 7(7) of the Luxembourg Prospectus Law.
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 Prospectus Directive 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 2004/39/ EC on markets in financial instruments (the
"MiFID Directive") and to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, during the period of twelve months after the date hereof.
Application has been made for Instruments issued under this Base Prospectus to be admitted during the period of twelve months after the date hereof to listing
on the Official List of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") and to trading on the Regulated Market of London Stock Exchange plc
(the "London Stock Exchange") which is a regulated market for the purposes of the MiFID Directive. The CSSF has been requested to provide the competent
authority (for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive) in Ireland, Sweden and the United Kingdom with a certificate of approval attesting that this Base
Prospectus has been drawn up in accordance with the Prospectus Directive. 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. This Base Prospectus constitutes a
base prospectus for the purposes of Article 5.4 of the Prospectus Directive and supersedes the base prospectus dated 4 April 2013.
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 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, U.S. persons or persons in the United
States or its possessions, as those terms are defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue 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
("Regulation S") under the Securities Act 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 long-term debt rating of Aa1 from Moody's Investors Service Ltd ("Moody's") and AA+ from Standard & Poor's Credit Market
Services Europe Limited ("S&P"). Each of Moody's and S&P is established in the European Economic Area ("EEA") and registered under Regulation (EC)
No 1060/2009, as amended (the "CRA Regulation") and is, as of the date of this Base Prospectus, included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the
European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") on its website (www.esma.europa.eu/page/list-registered-and-certified-CRAs) in accordance with the
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 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 EEA and registered under the CRA Regulation unless (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 CRA Regulation or (2) the rating is provided by a credit rating agency not
established in the EEA which is certified under the CRA Regulation. ESMA is obliged to maintain on its website a list of credit rating agencies registered and
certified in accordance with the CRA Regulation. The ESMA website is not incorporated by reference into, nor does it form part of, this Base Prospectus. This
list must be updated within five working days of ESMA's option of any decision to withdraw the registration of credit rating agency under the CRA Regulation.
Therefore, such a list is not conclusive evidence of the status of the relevant rating agency as there may be delays between certain supervisory measures being
taken against a relevant rating agency and the publication of the updated ESMA list.
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.

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.
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 Prospectus Directive, there is certain important information
that is set out herein under "Important Information relating to Public Offer of Instruments".
STABILISATION
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Instruments, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) acting as
the Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising 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, there is no
assurance that the Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of a Stabilising Manager)
will undertake stabilisation action. Any stabilisation 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 be ended 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 Stabilising Manager(s) (or person(s) acting on behalf
of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.

offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction

NOTICE TO NEW HAMPSHIRE RESIDENTS
NEITHER THE FACT THAT A REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR AN APPLICATION FOR
A LICENCE HAS BEEN FILED UNDER CHAPTER 421-B OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE
REVISED STATUTES WITH THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE NOR THE FACT THAT A
SECURITY IS EFFECTIVELY REGISTERED OR A PERSON IS LICENSED IN THE STATE
OF NEW HAMPSHIRE CONSTITUTES A FINDING BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF
THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE THAT ANY DOCUMENT FILED UNDER RSA 421-B IS
TRUE, COMPLETE AND NOT MISLEADING. NEITHER ANY SUCH FACT NOR THE FACT
THAT AN EXEMPTION OR EXCEPTION IS AVAILABLE FOR A SECURITY OR A
TRANSACTION MEANS THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE HAS PASSED IN ANYWAY
UPON THE MERITS OR QUALIFICATIONS OF, OR RECOMMENDED OR GIVEN
APPROVAL TO, ANY PERSON, SECURITY OR TRANSACTION. IT IS UNLAWFUL TO
MAKE, OR CAUSE TO BE MADE, TO ANY PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER, CUSTOMER OR
CLIENT ANY REPRESENTATION INCONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
PARAGRAPH.
ENFORCEMENT OF LIABILITIES
SEK is a joint stock 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. A substantial portion of
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, Advokatfirman Vinge KB, 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, with respect to certain of
the plans and current goals of SEK and expectations relating to SEK's future financial condition and
performance. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only
to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as "anticipate",
"expect", "estimate", "intend", "should", "believe", or other words of similar meaning. Examples of
forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding financial projections and
estimates and their underlying assumptions; plans, objectives and expectations relating to future
operations and services; the impact of regulatory initiatives on SEK's operations; general industry and
macroeconomic growth rates and performance relative to them; and future performance.
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 as of 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;
·
Credit risk;
- iv -

·
Potential material weakness in SEK's internal controls over financial reporting;
·
Potential reductions in SEK's access to international capital markets;
·
Volatile or illiquid market conditions;
·
The fact that SEK's hedging strategies may not prevent losses;
·
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
·
Increasing competition;
·
Operational risk;
·
Natural disasters, political unrest or other events beyond SEK's control;
·
Potential changes in law or regulation; and
·
Adverse developments in emerging market countries.
Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of SEK speak only as at the date they are made.
SEK does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect any changes in its expectations
with regard thereto or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is
based. 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.

SUMMARY
Summaries are made up of disclosure requirements known as "Elements". These elements are numbered in Sections A E (A.1
 E.7).
This summary contains all the Elements required to be included in a summary for this type of securities and issuer. Because
some Elements are not required to be addressed, there may be gaps in the numbering sequence of the Elements.
Even though an Element may be required to be inserted in the summary because of the type of securities and issuer, it is
possible that no relevant information can be given regarding the Element. In this case a short description of the Element is
included in the summary with the mention of "Not Applicable".

Trends:
In recent years, SEK has focused on lending to the Swedish export industry in response to the
great demand for reliable financing. SEK's role as a long-term lender has grown stronger and
its effort to broaden its customer base is continuing. SEK's financial performance is affected
by borrower and counterparty credit quality and general economic conditions. To some
extent, changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and other market factors also affect
SEK's business. Operational risks, such as fraud, errors by employees, failure to document
transactions properly or to obtain proper internal authorisation and equipment failures are
inherent in SEK's businesses. SEK's business is subject to regulation and regulatory
oversight. Any significant regulatory developments could have an effect on how SEK
conducts its business and on SEK's results of operations.
Emerging economies are continuing their strong development, with increasing purchasing
power and increasingly modern and developed infrastructure. The Swedish export industry is
largely focused on infrastructure, telecoms, energy supply, transport and environmental
technology -- all areas that are enjoying strong demand in emerging economies. Access to
financing is often the deciding factor in whether or not an export deal goes ahead.

SEK is the parent company of a group comprising its wholly-owned subsidiaries AB SEK
