Comments on NIB’s financial figures January–April 2015
While euro area indicators in recent months suggest the real economy may finally be catching up, a fully sustained recovery is not yet at hand. Interest rates, credit spreads and margins remained under pressure. The economies of the Nordic–Baltic region showed differences in the pace of growth, with Iceland, the Baltic countries and Sweden being at the forefront.
Despite the pressure on interest rates, in the first four months of the year the Bank’s net interest income (EUR 80 million) and profit (EUR 79 million) remained at essentially the same level as in the same period a year ago. The result also reflects positive valuations on the financial instruments and low charges for impairments on loans.
By the end of April, the Bank’s total assets increased to EUR 28.6 billion from EUR 24.9 billion at the end of last year, mainly due to exchange rate effects, especially the stronger US dollar against the euro.
During the period, NIB continued to build up the loan book adding a total of EUR 761 million in loans approved for projects in industrial research and
development, hydropower, waste-to-energy and energy efficiency in buildings. Disbursements totalled EUR 405 million (Jan–Apr 2014: EUR 270 million). Following the normal pattern, higher volumes are expected in the latter half of the year.
NIB’s funding operations raised EUR 2.2 billion in ten transactions, which accounts for more than 60% of this year’s funding needs.
In March, NIB issued a USD 1.25 billion global benchmark transaction with maturity in 2018. A third NIB Environmental Bond in Swedish crowns, totalling SEK 1 billion, was issued in April. It attracted investors focusing on environmental, social and governance considerations as an integral part of their business conduct.
In the months to come, projects improving energy efficiency and the security of energy supply will create demand for long-term loans. Potential investments in industrial research and development as well as public services and infrastructure will further underscore the value of NIB’s financing.
