NIB’s financial figures January–April 2012
After a year of deepening uncertainty in the global financial markets, early 2012 brought calmer outlooks and more stability. This was to a large extent due to central banks injecting liquidity into the banking system. However, following the first four months, hopes gave way to concerns about European economic growth due to the rising pressure on the euro in the South European members of the EMU.
NIB’s operational results for January–April 2012 in terms of profit amounted to EUR 94 million, which was EUR 22 million higher compared to the same period a year ago. The profit increased on the basis of the stable net interest income and due to positive fair values on financial instruments in the trading portfolios.
During the first four months, NIB saw a good deal flow in the lending pipeline, while loan disbursements took off slowly, reaching EUR 406 million. The level of the disbursements may reflect the reduced appetite for investments due to uncertainties in the economic outlook.
Loans were provided for projects within the sectors of power generation and supply, renewable energy, sustainable transport infrastructure, research and development and in other sectors. Some 75% of disbursements were rated as highly compliant with the mandate to support competitiveness and the environment. The remaining part was disbursed as credit facilities placed with intermediary banks for onlending to subprojects that in due course will be selected on the basis of the NIB mandate criteria.
NIB’s total assets at the end of the period were EUR 25 billion. Loans outstanding totalled EUR 14.1 billion. Loan impairment charges made during the period amounted to EUR 1.7 million.
During the first four months of the year, NIB closed fourteen transactions, totalling EUR 1.9 billion out of the annual target of EUR 3.2 billion. In late January, NIB launched a 5-year global USD 1.25 billion benchmark issue. In April, a 10-year Australian dollar issue for AUD 300 million was launched, taking NIB’s outstanding volume in the Australian market currently to more than AUD 1.7 billion.
It is expected that in the current economic circumstances, investors will continue to seek a safe harbour in the Nordic countries. This will help NIB maintain its strength in securing long-term financing which will continue to be in short supply from other sources due to increased uncertainty and changes expected in the regulatory environment.
