Following a new evaluation and updated analysis, Kommuninvest has decided to revise its funding forecast for 2026 from SEK 150–170 billion to SEK 170–190 billion.

Lending growth has been strong during the first quarter, and the reduction in lending margins implemented by Kommuninvest in December 2025 has resulted in increased customer demand. The upward revision of the forecast is also explained by the refinancing of many short-term loans into longer maturities, which increases the need for long-term funding.

As of 31 March, Kommuninvest had raised SEK 60 billion in funding with maturities exceeding one year. The remaining funding for the year will be undertaken in Kommuninvest’s strategic markets: SEK, USD and EUR, subject to market conditions.

– We are pleased to be able to offer competitive and stable lending to our customers, even in volatile market conditions. That we now need to revise our funding forecast upwards as a result of stronger customer demand is, in my view, a clear sign of strength and confirmation that we are delivering on our mission, says Tobias Landström, Head of Debt Management.
