Comment on the Financial Year by President and CEO Pekka Averio:

 2015  will go down in Municipality Finance's  history as a year of success amid
great  pressure for change. The year  was characterised by economic uncertainty,
major  structural  reforms  initiated  in  Finland,  and  the designation of the
company as a nationally significant credit institution.

Despite these momentous changes, the company man­aged to grow in relation to all
the main performance indicators. The consolidated operating profit reached a new
record  high of  EUR 151.8 million.  The balance  sheet total  rose to EUR 33.9
billion, and the ratio of own funds to risk-weighted assets to 64.61%.

Municipality  Finance specialises in financing  the Finnish municipal sector and
government-subsidised housing production. The company is unquestionably the most
important  provider of financing in its customer group, and therefore it plays a
central role as a building block of the Finnish society.

Demand for loans from Municipality Finance's customers remained stable in 2015.
Demand for leasing financing continued to grow significantly, with the growth in
popularity particularly of leasing solutions for real estate.

Municipality  Finance  was  able  to  obtain  funding from international capital
markets  at very competitive prices, despite market volatility. During the year,
the  company issued two benchmark bonds, worth USD 1 billion each. Overall, 315
funding transactions were carried out by the company in 2015.

In  September, Municipality  Finance issued  an AT1  capital loan worth EUR 350
million,  under  Additional  Tier  1 capital.  This historic transaction was the
first  of its kind in Finland, and it  helped the company prepare for the coming
leverage ratio requirement related to banking regulation.



Operating Environment in 2015

2015 was  characterised by economic uncertainty, as  well as by major structural
reforms  initiated in Finland, such as the social and health services reform and
the  related decision  to establish  new autonomous  regions that  will organise
services.  Municipality  Finance's  operations  continued to develop positively.
Company's profitability improved while the volume of business transactions grew.
The  growth  in  volume  and  human  resources demands continuous development of
operations  and processes from the  company. In the early  part of the year, the
company  streamlined  its  organisation  in  order  to  serve its customers more
flexibly and efficiently.

Municipality  Finance  was  designated  as  a  nationally  significant financial
institution  in  Finland.  The  company  was  transferred from under the Finnish
Financial  Supervisory Authority to the supervision of the European Central Bank
(ECB)  at the  start of  2016. This was  preceded by  a comprehensive assessment
involving  asset quality review and stress testing. Municipality Finance clearly
exceeded all the minimum requirements set.

For  many years, Municipality  Finance has striven  to anticipate future demands
arising from tightening financial regulation. In 2015 the company reinforced its
capital  structure  with  an  AT1  capital  loan  worth  EUR  350 million, under
Additional  Tier 1 capital,  which means  it already  fulfils the leverage ratio
requirement  as it is currently expected to be. The issue was met with extensive
interest by investors, and it was oversubscribed by nearly 300%.

During  2015, Municipality Finance's ratings remained  stable - Aaa from Moody's
and  AA+ from Standard & Poor's. Both  agencies changed their rating outlooks to
negative,  in line with their outlooks for Finland as a whole. The outlook shift
is primarily due to the slow recovery of the Finnish economy.

Municipality  Finance is an  important part of  the basic financial structure of
Finnish  society,  and  the  only  credit  institution  in  Finland  exclusively
specialising in financing the municipal sector and government-subsidised housing
production.  During the year, there were no significant changes in the financing
needs  of the Finnish  municipal sector, and  the demand for  loans continued to
grow at a conservative rate. Municipality Finance was once again the single most
important financier for its customers.

Net Operating Result and Balance Sheet

The  Group's operations remained positive. The  Group's net operating profit for
the  financial year amounted to EUR 151.8 million (2014: EUR 144.2 million). The
parent  company's net  operating profit  stood at  EUR 147.7 million  (2014: EUR
143.8 million).  The  figure  includes  changes  in  the  IFRS fair valuation of
financial  items that  are unrealised  and change  in the  fluctuation of market
interest  rates. The impact  of IFRS valuations  on profit was  EUR -2.7 million
(2014: EUR -2.1 million).

Net  interest income continued developing well, with a growth of 7.6%. The total
net  interest income  at the  end of  the year  was EUR 172.2 million (2014: EUR
160.0 million). Net interest income includes EUR 1.4 million in commissions from
the  repurchase of  own bonds  (2014: EUR  1.5 million). The  improvement in net
interest income was thanks to the growth in business volume.

The  net operating profit  of Municipality Finance's  subsidiary Inspira was EUR
0.2 million for 2015 (2014: EUR 0.4 million).

The  Group's commission expenses totalled EUR 3.8 million at the end of the year
(2014:  EUR  3.8 million).  Operating  expenses  increased by 14.8% to EUR 24.9
million  during the  year (2014:  EUR 21.7 million).  The growth in expenses was
mainly  due to an increase in  administrative expenses resulting from changes in
the  company's operating environment, as well  as on-going IT system development
projects.  Additionally, from  2015 Municipality Finance  has incurred  new fees
charged  by the authorities,  including financial supervision  costs paid to the
ECB   and  the  Financial  Stability  Authority  of  the  Ministry  of  Finance.
Administrative  expenses came to  EUR 16.7 million (2014:  EUR 14.7 million), of
which  personnel expenses  comprised EUR  10.9 million (2014:  EUR 9.3 million).
Depreciation  of  tangible  and  intangible  assets  amounted to EUR 1.6 million
(2014:  EUR 1.4 million). Other  operating expenses were  EUR 6.6 million (2014:
EUR 5.5 million).

The Group's balance sheet total stood at EUR 33,889 million at the end of 2015,
compared  to EUR 30,009 million at  the end of the  previous year. Balance sheet
growth  is due to the growth of business. The liquidity was kept at a high level
at  the end of 2015, as the company  prepared for refinancing needs coming up in
early 2016.

Capital Adequacy

The Group's own funds totalled EUR 1,068.8 million at the end of 2015 (2014: EUR
623.1 million).  Common Equity  Tier 1 (CET1)  totalled EUR 686.3 million (2014:
EUR  556.4 million). Tier 1 capital  amounted to EUR  1,033.8 million (2014: EUR
557.2 million).  The unrealised profits from assets measured at fair value (fair
value  reserve) have been  included in CET1  capital (transitional provision for
the  period 1 January 2015-31 December 2017). In  the figures for the comparison
year,  the  fair  value  reserve  is  included in Tier 2 capital. Tier 2 capital
totalled EUR 35.0 million (2014: EUR 65.9 million).

The  Group's capital adequacy improved significantly.  The ratio of own funds to
risk-weighted  assets was 64.61% (2014: 33.53%). The ratio of Common Equity Tier
1 (CET1) to risk-weighted assets was 41.49% (2014: 29.94%).

Customer Financing

The  total volume of tender requests received by Municipality Finance during the
year was EUR 4,834 million (2014: EUR 4,387 million), of which it won EUR 3,181
million  (2014: EUR 2,814 million).  The total amount  of new loans withdrawn in
2015 was  lower than in the previous year at EUR 2,687 million (2014: EUR 2,775
million).  At the  end of  the year,  the long-term  loan portfolio stood at EUR
20,088 million  (2014: EUR 19,205 million). This represents an increase of 4.6%
on the previous year.

There  was also continued demand for short-term  financing. At the end of 2015,
the  total value of municipal commercial  paper and municipal company commercial
paper  programmes  concluded  with  Municipality  Finance  was EUR 4,087 million
(2014:  EUR  3,787 million).  The  company's  balance  sheet included EUR 1,115
million  in such papers issued by  municipalities and municipal companies at the
end of the year (2014: EUR 845 million), and during the year, customers acquired
EUR  9,231 million in  financing under  short-term programmes  (2014: EUR 9,638
million).

Besides loans, Municipality Finance offers municipalities, municipal federations
and  municipal enterprises derivative contracts tailored  to their needs for the
management  of interest rate risk. Demand  for derivative products remained high
in  2015. As interest rates  remained low, customers  hedged their loans against
future increases in market rates.

Municipality  Finance has offered leasing financing to municipalities, municipal
federations  and municipality-controlled entities since 2010. Long-term work has
been  carried out to  ensure maximum transparency  in the service  model and its
pricing.  Demand  for  leasing  solutions  grew  solidly  in  2015. The  group's
customers are particularly interested in leasing-based solutions for real estate
financing.  The leasing portfolio grew by 40.7% during the year and stood at EUR
187 million at year-end (2014: EUR 133 million).

Demand  for Inspira's services increased in 2015. Inspira's turnover in 2015 was
EUR  2.3 million  (2014:  EUR  2.5 million).  Its  net  operating profit for the
financial year was EUR 0.2 million (2014: EUR 0.4 million).

Capital Markets Operations

During  the year, EUR 7,297 million was acquired in long-term funding (2014: EUR
7,440 million).  A  total  of  EUR  4,819 million  was issued in short-term debt
instruments under the Euro Commercial Paper programme during the year (2014: EUR
5,904 million),  and total  funding under  the programme  amounted to EUR 1,230
million  at the year-end (2014: EUR 1,259 million).  Total funding at the end of
2015 was  EUR 28,419 million (2014: EUR 26,616 million). Of this amount, 18% was
denominated  in euros (2014: 18%) and 82% in foreign currencies (2014: 82%). The
company  issued bonds denominated in  12 different currencies in 2015 (2014: 15
currencies).  Municipality Finance currently  obtains all of  its funds from the
international capital market, where the group is a well-known, valued and active
participant.  The total of long-term funding  arrangements made in 2015 was 315
(2014: 264).

The  group's  funding  strategy  is  to  diversify funding sources, and this has
proved   to   be   a  successful  approach.  Municipality  Finance  has  various
diversification strategies: by market, geographically, by issuing bonds targeted
at  different investor groups,  and by issuing  bonds with different maturities.
Active,  long-term  collaboration  with  investors  has  increased the company's
visibility   in   various  markets,  and  investor  relations  are  increasingly
progressing towards the maintenance of key investor relationships.

The  company's liquidity  remained excellent  during 2015, despite exceptionally
sharp  fluctuations due to  major variations in  the cash collateral received on
the  basis of  derivative collateral  agreements. New  investments were  made in
covered  bonds, as  well as  bonds issued  by public  sector entities  in strong
eurozone countries and bonds issued by banks.

At  the end of 2015, investments in securities totalled EUR 5,897 million (2014:
EUR  5,581 million),  and  their  average  credit  rating was AA (2014: AA). The
average  maturity of  the security  portfolio stood  at 2.3 years  at the end of
2015 (2014: 2.3 years). Additionally, the company had EUR 1,834 million in other
investments (2014: EUR 1,170 million), of which EUR 1,814 million was in central
bank  deposits  (2014:  EUR  593 million)  and  EUR  20 million  in money market
deposits in credit institutions (2014: EUR 27 million). There were no repurchase
agreements at the end of 2015 (2014: EUR 550 million).

Risk Management

There  were no  material changes  in the  company's risk position in 2015. Risks
remained  within the set limits and, based on the company's assessment, the risk
management function met its requirements.

Municipality  Finance's funding is guaranteed  by the Municipal Guarantee Board,
which  has  the  same  credit  ratings  from  Moody's  and  Standard & Poor's as
Municipality  Finance. Both credit  ratings remained unchanged  during the year,
but Moody's changed the outlook for its highest rating, Aaa, to negative in June
2015. Moody's  revised its  credit rating  for Municipality  Finance in December
2015, keeping it unchanged at Aaa.

Standard  & Poor's  changed the  outlook for  Municipality Finance's  AA+ credit
rating  from stable to  negative in October  2015, and confirmed both the rating
and the outlook in December.

The  lowering of the outlook for long-term funding was a direct consequence of a
similar lowering of the rating of the Republic of Finland, because in accordance
with  the credit rating methodology of Moody's and Standard & Poor's, the credit
rating  of  Municipality  Finance  and  the  Municipal Guarantee Board cannot be
higher than the rating of the sovereign.

Prospects for 2016

The  outlook for global economic development is  unstable. The actions of the US
Federal  Reserve and  the European  Central Bank,  fluctuations in share prices,
circumstances in the developing world, and the tightening of the global security
situation  will  all  have  an  impact  on  the economy. Economic development is
predicted to be slower in Finland than in the rest of Europe. Slower growth will
put  pressure on  the Finnish  government and  municipalities, which will have a
direct impact on Municipality Finance's operating environment.

Tightening  financial regulation is evident in the form of changes in the demand
and  supply of  various investment  products. Demand  for Municipality Finance's
products  is solid, and the company is seen by the capital markets as a reliable
and interesting business partner.

The  Finnish government will  continue the structural  reforms planned; the most
essential  are the social  and health services  and regional government reforms.
These changes might have an effect to the company's business. The most important
task  is to ensure the  continuity of funding, even  after the social and health
services  and regional government  reforms. There is  also increased pressure on
Finland  to increase  government subsidised  housing production  in urban growth
areas.

The  company will continue to systematically  develop its operations, while also
actively  working to anticipate the changing  needs of its customers. There will
be continued focus on improving customer service and systems in order to further
enhance efficiency, as well as on digitisation of services.

From  the  start  of  2016, Municipality  Finance  has  been  directly under the
supervision  of  the  ECB,  which  implies  new  development projects related to
operations and reporting.

The  profitability of  Municipality Finance's  operations is  expected to remain
strong in 2016.

Proposal from the Board of Directors Concerning Profit for the Financial Year

Municipality  Finance Plc has distributable funds of EUR 54,688,359.49, of which
the  profit for the financial year totalled EUR 1,530,009.22. The Board proposes
to  the  Annual  General  Meeting  that  no  dividend  be paid out, and that the
distributable funds of EUR 54,688,359.49 be retained in equity.

The  Board of Directors  considers this to  be a well-reasoned  decision, as the
company  needs to  continue preparing  for tightening  own funds requirements by
increasing its Tier 1 capital through profit.







The   Annual   Report   for   2015 can   be   found  on  the  company's  website
(www.munifin.fi) from 1 March 2016.
