Liquidity and funding - Credit ratings
• December 3, 2015, S&P raised Swedbank AB to AA-/A-1+ to reflect their view of Sweden's ongoing support of its systemically important banks. As such, S&P removed the negative adjustment notch in place since July, which reflected an expected negative transition due to the potential removal of government support. The outlook on the rating is negative, reflecting S&P’s view of heightened economic risk for the Swedish economy
• June 25, 2015, S&P raised Swedbank’s standalone rating to A+. The outlook was changed to stable, from negative. The main drivers are a stable management, strong key ratios in efficiency, and earnings stability
• June 17, 2015, Moody’s upgraded Swedbank to Aa3 with a stable outlook. The upgrade reflects Moody’s estimation that Swedbank’s strong asset quality and stable earnings generation, underpinned by focused management and established franchise in Sweden and the Baltic countries, position the bank well to manage challenges coming from the low interest-rate environment, developments in mobile banking, and competition in historically more profitable activities
• June 09, 2015, Fitch affirmed the rating, with a positive outlook. Fitch restated they expect to upgrade the rating to AA- provided Swedbank continue to build on the current track record

OC, Q415
The Covered Bond Act entered into force on July 1, 2004 and is over-sighted by the Swedish FSA. Its main characteristics are: Dual recourse to the issuer and cover pool Dynamic, regulated pool of assets, frequently monitored by the Swedish FSA via appointment of an
independent inspector Regulated valuation of cover pool assets which remain on the balance sheet
The cover pool may consist of certain mortgage credits, public credits and supplemental assets. There is no requirement to segregate mortgage and public credits.
Maximum LTVs: Residential 75%, Agricultural 70%, Commercial 60%
Maximum 10% commercial loans and 20% supplemental assets in cover pool
Regular monitoring of the property values, revaluation of property prices in case of significant drop (generally interpreted as 15% drop)
No mandatory over-collateralisation (OC)
Regional constraint on collateral assets (Mortgage - EEA, Public - OECD)
The cover pool value shall always exceed the aggregate value of claims (including derivatives)
A sound balance in terms of FX, interest rates and maturities must be achieved. It is deemed to exist when the present value of the cover pool at all times exceed the present value of liabilities (including derivatives), even on a stressed basis. Present value cover must hold even after 1% upward and downward shift in the yield curve and a 10% change in the currency
Non-performing assets in the cover pool which are more than 60 days overdue must be disregarded for the purposes of the matching tests
Holders of covered bonds and relevant derivative counterparties benefit from a priority claim over the cover pool should the institution be declared bankrupt and rank pari passu ahead of unsecured creditors and all other creditors of the institution in respect of assets in the cover pool
The registered assets in the cover pool, the covered bonds and any relevant derivative contracts are required to be maintained as a unit and kept segregated from other assets and liabilities of the bankruptcy estate of the institution. The administrators-in-bankruptcy are then required to procure the continued timely service of payments due under the covered bonds and any relevant derivative contracts

● “It is particularly important that FI has the possibility of giving due consideration to the specific situation…in which a firm in financial stress finds itself… For example, certain risks included in the assessment of the Pillar 2 basic requirement might have materialized, which might mean there are no longer grounds for requiring the firm to hold capital for them”.
● “It ought to be positive for financial stability that a firm has the possibility… to restore its capital without the firm necessarily becoming subject to priorly specified and automatic legal restrictions. In other words, firms are hence given the possibility of re-establishing their capital in a strained situation without automatic restrictions on distributions or, depending on the size of the capital shortage, a formal resolution phase being activated."
● “Hence…a firm may freely choose…the most suitable way of restoring the capital in that specific situation. For example, the firm is not obliged to halt or limit dividends or interest payments on Tier 1 capital contributions, if the firm can identify other and more appropriate ways of restoring the capital sufficiently quickly.”
