Swedish Export Credit Corporation

  • The European Investment Bank and KfW comfortably raised a combined £2.25bn on Thursday after receiving whopping investor demand for benchmark trades. This Friday is set to add to the sterling glut, with deals from the Asian Development Bank, Bank Nederlandse Gemeenten and Swedish Export Credit Corporation.
  • This week's scorecard looks at the progress Nordic agencies have made in their 2018 funding programmes as the end of the year approaches. Some of the agencies have also published their funding targets for 2019.
  • KfW’s €5bn November 2023 was the standout performer in a week of trades — from Erste Abwicklungsanstalt, Oesterreichische Kontrollbank and Swedish Export Credit Corp — that BondMarker voters rated highly.
  • Rating: Aa1/AA+
  • A quartet of public sector borrowers brought small dollar deals this week that were fine but unspectacular, which SSA bankers said was down to a confluence of factors. There are hopes that with the market likely quiet next week for the US mid-term elections and Federal Open Market Committee meeting, conditions could return to their best for the albeit limited funding windows left in 2018.
  • Swedish Export Credit Corporation was set to price a $1bn no-grow three year global benchmark as GlobalCapital went to press on Wednesday, as the last bits of dollar supply came before an expected shutdown next week for the US mid-term elections.
  • Österreichische Kontrollbank and Erste Abwicklungsanstalt priced well received dollar deals on Tuesday. The pipeline in the currency is building with Bank Nederlanse Gementeen and Swedish Export Credit Corporation having lined up three year trades.
  • Two Nordic agencies have raised their funding needs for the year due to an increase in their lending activity, just as the final quarter has begun.
  • SSA
    The first busy week for benchmarks after the summer break returned a slew of solid scores for borrowers, with Finland’s 10 year euro deal the pick of the bunch.
  • Swedish Export Credit Corporation priced a new $1bn two year deal on Thursday, joining several other issuers to sell dollar bonds this week as the market livened up.
  • Rating: Aa1/AA+
  • Big moves in US Treasury yields, swap spreads and the euro/dollar and euro/sterling basis swaps put paid to some dollar issuance this week as some borrowers held back and others tapped different currencies. But a pair of Swedish names did get deals done, and rates started to move back into more favourable areas, suggesting volumes could pick up again next week.
