Disclosure

We believe that active communication with our stakeholders and the general public is an integral part of good business and administration. Our guiding principles are accountability, clarity, efficiency and transparency, as well as interaction with stakeholders. NIB regularly updates the list of newly agreed loans and funding transactions—links to the corresponding resources are provided below. On this page, we publish information about projects with potentially extensive social and environmental impacts, also known as category A projects, procurement notices and information about NIB-administered trust funds.
