Letter from the CEO<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the onset of 2022, none of us could have imagined the year that was to come. The war that is ravaging not only Ukraine, but the world economy, is far from over. Foreign direct investment flows are retracting from emerging markets, as the reverberations of war and the lasting impact of COVID-19 are being felt in the markets we operate in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norfund makes a difference<\/p>\n\n\n\n
