Comment by Tomas Werngren, President and CEO
"Kommuninvest's stable development continues. Our position as the Swedish Local Government Debt Office and leading lender to the local government sector has been further strengthened during the first six months.

The decision to strengthen the capital base by SEK 1 billion in the form of a subordinated loan was taken by the annual meeting of the Kommuninvest Cooperative Society in March 2010. Following subscription for the loan during late spring and summer we now know that the issue has been oversubscribed. Important work to anchor the capitalisation has been done by staff and elected politicians among our members.

Kommuninvest's financial stamina and ability to provide our members with effective
financing solutions in the long term remain very good."
