​Presentation EU Commission: Meeting with Member States expert group on sustainable finance

Kommuninvest has participated in a meeting in Brussels with the EU member countries' expert group on sustainable finance. The meeting was part of the work on the EU Commission's Action Plan on Financing Sustainable Growth. Kommuninvest was one of five financial institutions that had been invited to share their experiences in sustainable financing.

The Commission’s plan, adopted in March 2018, has three main objectives: 1) to reorient capital flows towards sustainable investment, in order to achieve sustainable and inclusive growth; 2) to manage financial risks stemming from climate change, environmental degradation and social issues; and 3) foster transparency and long-termism in financial and economic activity

We finance welfare

Kommuninvest is a municipal cooperation for efficient and sustainable financing of housing, infrastructure, schools, hospitals etc. Together we get better loan terms than each one individually. Since the start in 1986, the Kommuninvest collaboration has helped reduce the local government sector’s borrowing costs by many billion SEK. Currently, 294 municipalities and regions are members of this voluntary cooperation. With a balance sheet total of more than SEK 600 billion (USD ~55 billion), Kommuninvest is the largest lender to the local government sector and one of the ten largest credit institutions in Sweden.
