Comments on NIB’s financial figures January–April 2016
The flow of deals in NIB’s lending continued to be at a high level, with a total of EUR 865 million in loans agreed (Jan–Apr 2015: EUR 447 million). Disbursements totalled EUR 627 million (Jan–Apr 2015: EUR 405 million).
The growth was driven, in particular, by increased demand for long-term financing in the municipal sector in the Bank’s member countries for the purpose of upgrading and replacing infrastructure in the areas of water supply and wastewater treatment, as well as energy generation and distribution.
The profit for the period amounted to EUR 51 million, down from EUR 79 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease in earnings was primarily attributable to an unrealised net loss on financial operations of EUR 3 million, compared to a net profit of EUR 9 million in January–April 2015. Also, the net interest income and loan impairments
deviated negatively by EUR 5 million and EUR 8 million, respectively.
In new funding, the Bank carried out fourteen transactions and raised EUR 2.5 billion, which accounts for close to half of this year’s funding plan. In February, the Bank issued its first USD dollar benchmark for the year, a three-year, USD 1.25 billion global issue. A two-year, floating-rate note of USD 500 million was also issued under the global programme in April. In January, the Bank continued to issue NIB Environmental Bonds, with a five-year, SEK 1 billion transaction.
Given the loan pipeline and following the normal yearly pattern, disbursements are expected to accelerate in the latter part of the year.
