SEB was one of the banks that executed the transaction when The Kingdom of Sweden on Wednesday raised SEK 10 billion by issuing a 50-year government bond. This is the longest outstanding loan in Sweden's central government debt.

'We are very pleased with the outcome and the broad investor reception for the Kingdom of Sweden's new 50-year government bond. It is extraordinary to be able to lock in financing for 50 years at an interest rate of 1.386 percent. The team at SEB are proud to have contributed to this landmark transaction and we hope that it can serve as an important reference for other Nordic issuers looking for long and high-quality capital markets funding going forward,' says Karl-Johan Nystedt, head of SEB's public sector finance business.
