Comments on NIB’s financial figures January–April 2014
During the first four months of the year, the global economic context overall has been mildly supportive, while the Nordic-Baltic economies showed no clear direction of improvement or deterioration.
Despite the cautious investment climate and muted demand for long-term corporate capital expenditure finance, NIB’s profit for January–April 2014 amounted to EUR 79 million, up by EUR 8 million on the same period a year ago. Profit increased on the basis of positive valuations on financial instruments and due to lower charges for loan impairments.
During the period, NIB continued to extend financing to projects in various sectors, including new loans for energy, transport, municipal infrastructure as well as industries and services. The amount of loans approved during the period totalled EUR 730 million. Loan disbursements took off slowly, reaching EUR 270 million. The Bank is, however, expecting that the volume of disbursements will pick up during the year.
The total amount of the new funding transactions issued by NIB in the first four months was EUR 1.8 billion, which accounts for approximately half of the year’s funding programme. In the beginning of April, NIB launched a new five-year global USD 1 billion benchmark transaction.
Forecasts for economic growth in advanced economies in 2014–2015 reflect the low level of longer-term interest rates. As in many other regions, idle production capacity and ample liquidity continue weighing on the demand for long-term investment and lending in most Nordic-Baltic economies. Tentative indications are that industrial investment activity may pick in Denmark and Sweden in the months ahead, but geopolitical risk still casts a large cloud over the near-term outlook.
