“Although dealing with the coronavirus crisis is essential, it is of utmost importance that long-term challenges, such as climate change, shall not be forgotten. Financing jobs may come first and the green transition second during this crisis, but these two things need to go hand-in-hand in the long run. If we do not get the green transition right—that all of us feel included—the green transition could become detested, and not receive the support it needs. Equal economic opportunities are an important driver for productivity and long-term sustainable growth,” writes Henrik Normann, NIB's President & CEO in our Impact Report 2020.

The Bank raised EUR 7.5 billion in new funding through 38 transactions. In order to finance the Response loans, NIB established a Response Bonds Framework and issued two Response Bonds.
The net profit came to EUR 165 million. The Bank did not record any realised loan losses.
