NIB issues fifth global USD 1 billion bond

This is the fifth of NIB’s USD global benchmarks issued annually since 2002. NIB’s annual USD global issuance represents a rare public markets occasion for global investors to invest in one of the world’s select AAA supranational institutions and, indeed, the only one representing the Nordic and Baltic region. The 2006 NIB funding requirement is some EUR 3 billion, equivalent to USD 3.4 billion.
