​Supporting the blue economy

October 6, the Nordic Investment Bank launched a new SEK1.5 billion five-year blue bond aimed at financing projects within water management and protection in the Baltic sea. Storebrand Asset Management participated also in this second Nordic-Baltic Blue bond following up the previous internationally recognized and awarded inaugural blue bond last year. Blue bonds offer a great opportunity for capital to be mobilized to support the blue economy while at the same time providing long-term financial return to clients.
