Source text - English NORDIC INVESTMENT BANK (NIB)
The Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) finances private and public projects, which have high priority with the member countries and the borrowers. NIB finances projects both in and outside the member countries. NIB offers its clients long-term loans and guarantees on competitive market terms.
The core of NIB’s lending operations outside the member countries consists of Project Investment Loans. These are long-term loans—up to 20 years—for projects in emerging markets in Africa and the Middle East, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe as well as Latin America. Loans are primarily granted to the borrowing countries’ governments or public financial institutions. Project Investment Loans may also be granted without a government guarantee, particularly to private sector infrastructure investments. The loans are granted for up to half of the project’s total cost. Project Investment Loans can be utilised to finance all types of project costs, including local costs. The loans are granted at market-based interest rates in a currency preferred by the customer. Project Investment Loans have been granted for projects in approximately 40 countries.
In Colombia, NIB has granted loans to projects in, for instance, the energy sector, in the telecommunications and transport sector as well as water and sanitation. At end-October 2005, NIB’s outstanding loan portfolio in Latin America totalled EUR 740 million. Apart from Colombia, NIB has lending in the Latin American countries of Argentina, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela and Uruguay. Further, NIB has regional credit cooperation agreements with Corporación Andina de Formento (CAF) and the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI).
NIB is a multilateral financial institution that operates in accordance with commercially sound banking principles. The Bank was originally founded by the five Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. At the beginning of 2005, NIB received three new owners, when Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania became members of the Bank. NIB’s operations are governed by an agreement among the member countries and statutes pertained thereto.
NIB has its headquarters in Helsinki and offices in Copenhagen, Oslo, Reykjavik, Stockholm and Singapore. At end-August 2005, the Bank had 151 employees.
NIB acquires the funds to finance its lending by borrowing on the international capital markets. NIB’s bonds enjoy the highest possible credit rating, AAA/Aaa, with the leading rating agencies Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s.
