NIB opens new premises in Moscow

1.10.2009 News

NIB has opened new premises in Russia’s capital. From now on, NIB’s General Representative for Russia, Igor Kovtun, is located in the premises of the World Bank.

“The idea of NIB premises in Moscow came about after Igor had joined the Bank two years ago. We are pleased with the central location of the new premises and its affiliation with another international financial institution,” says Søren Kjær Mortensen, Senior Director, Head of Europe and Eurasia at NIB.

The new premises will provide meeting facilities and working stations for NIB staff visiting Moscow.

Russia remains a focus country and an important partner for NIB. The Bank’s lending in this country is directed to projects in the environmental, infrastructure and energy sectors. NIB is the lead bank in a number of high-priority environmental projects within the Northern Dimension Environmental Partnership.

“With an increased focus on these activities, the new premises in Moscow will largely facilitate NIB’s closer interaction with Russia’s authorities and counterparties,” says Mr Mortensen.
