IFI status facilitates the financing of cross-border activities

NIB has operations in some forty countries: in its Nordic and Baltic member countries and in other countries, including transitional and emerging economies around the world. Outside the membership area, projects financed by NIB should be of mutual interest to the country of the borrower and the member countries.

NIB continually broadens the geography of its lending operations by entering into agreements on financial cooperation with national governments around the world. As a rule, such agreements enable NIB to participate in the financing of projects in both the public and private sectors. NIB has established formal long-term cooperation with countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and Eurasia, Latin America and the Middle East.
