Stock Exchange Release
May 8, 2026 at 18.50
Credit rating agency S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook on Employment Fund from stable to negative on May 8th, 2026. The outlook is the same as that of Finland on April 24, 2026. At the same time, S&P affirmed that Employment Fund's long- and short-term credit ratings remain unchanged at AA+/A-1+, which is the same credit rating as Finland.
S&P equalizes its ratings on Employment Fund with the Finnish government’s credit rating. Revision of Employment Fund’s outlook reflects the corresponding change to S&P Global Ratings’ outlook on the Republic of Finland. According to S&P Global Ratings, Finland’s negative outlook reflects persistent risks to Finland’s public finances stemming from low growth, ageing demographics, and rising defence and interest expenditure.
Employment Fund has issued a EUR 600 million senior unsecured bond on June 16, 2020. The bond is due on June 16, 2027. In 2020, S&P Global Ratings assigned a credit rating of AA+ to Employment Fund's bonds.
