NIB extends cooperation with Ringkjøbing Landbobank

NIB has extended its loan facility with Danish Ringkjøbing Landbobank with EUR 30 million for onlending to wind power projects and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Ringkjøbing Landbobank has built a substantial project pipeline in wind energy and the SME sector to be co-financed with the means borrowed from NIB. SME investments financed by the bank are typically production equipment, such as robots in the metal industry and milk robots in farming.

Therefore, we expect the loan facility with Ringkjøbing Landbobank to help raise the productivity and efficiency of investments in wind power projects and SMEs,” says Henrik Normann, NIB President & CEO.
