No change to funding forecast for 2026: SEK 170–190 billion

Lending growth has been strong during the first half of the year, primarily driven by strengthened competitiveness following the margin reduction implemented in December. After the first quarter, it was therefore decided to revise the funding requirement upwards by SEK 20 billion.

This strong development continued during the second quarter of 2026. The latest evaluation shows that the funding requirement is within the forecast range, but towards the upper end.

As of today, Kommuninvest has raised SEK 117 billion in funding with maturities of more than one year.

Funding will, subject to market conditions, be issued in Kommuninvest’s strategic markets: SEK, USD and EUR.

– Our funding requirement for 2026 is higher than in previous years, but this is not due to growth in the sector’s debt. Rather, it reflects strengthened competitiveness and our ability to gain market share. We are pleased to offer investors a broad range of municipal investment alternatives in both the Swedish and international markets – supporting diversification of our funding and enabling us to continue providing our customers with competitive financing, says Tobias Landström, Head of Debt Management.
