Our members guarantee Kommuninvest’s commitments
Kommuninvest works in the interests of the public and its owners – 294 Swedish municipalities and regions – by providing stable and cost-efficient financing, financial advice and opportunities for collaboration.
All of the municipalities and regions that are members of Kommuninvest Cooperative Society have issued an explicit guarantee for the commitments entered into by Kommuninvest i Sverige AB. This guarantee undertaking applies until outstanding commitments mature, regardless of whether a member leaves the Society or is excluded prior to the maturity of those commitments.
Like all Swedish municipalities and regions, Kommuninvest has historically always met all of its payment obligations. The guarantee design gives investors and other stakeholders additional security in the face of the hypothetical situation that this would not occur. The municipalities and regions that are members of Kommuninvest Cooperative Society have guaranteed that, in a situation in which Kommuninvest i Sverige AB fails to meet its obligations, they will pay with their own funds. The guarantee is explicit, irrevocable and unlimited.
