- Net interest income was EUR 349 million (EUR 332 million) and net profit EUR 287 million (EUR 256 million).
- In 2025, NIB revised its Sustainability Policy and made its first defence loans.
- The year marked 20 years of Baltic membership and 50 years since the NIB’s founding agreement was signed.
André Küüsvek, NIB President and CEO said: “In 2025, NIB achieved strong results, characterised by a large number of financing transactions with a high mandate fulfilment. Financially, 2025 was one of our strongest years ever. NIB recorded a strong net profit of EUR 287 million. This was driven mainly by the record high net interest income.”
The new financing supported projects in areas such as carbon capture and storage, energy generation and transmission, research and development programmes and energy efficient buildings. Following the Sustainability Policy revisions in 2024 and 2025, NIB made its first disbursements to the defence sector during the year.
NIB raised EUR 9.2 billion in new funding through 93 bond transactions bringing funds to the region from international capital markets and creating a solid liquidity position.
In 2025, as a result of NIB’s innovative approach to sustainable finance, NIB became the first supranational institution to issue a Sustainability-Linked Loan Financing Bond (SLLB). The SEK 1.75 billion, five-year bond was issued under NIB’s new SLLB framework, bridging transition financing from the lending side to the capital markets.
For the year 2025, the Board of Directors proposes to the Board of Governors to distribute EUR 86 million in dividends to the Bank’s Nordic and Baltic member countries.
