Kommuninvest is a municipal cooperation for efficient and sustainable financing of investments in the Swedish municipal sector. Since its inception in 1986, the cooperation has contributed to reducing the municipal sector's borrowing costs by many billions of kronor. Currently, 295 municipalities and regions are members. With a balance sheet of nearly 600 billion kronor, Kommuninvest is the leading lender to the municipal sector and one of the largest credit institutions in Sweden. The head office is located in Örebro.

Kommuninvest's mandate is divided into three parts: (1) to offer loans that finance investments in the municipal sector, (2) to offer a secure alternative for investors, and (3) to function as a knowledge hub within municipal financial management.

The first delivery of the project focuses on risk and authority reporting and is expected to be completed by early 2026. During this period, one of the developers will be on parental leave, and we are seeking a replacement.
