Norfund ended the year with operating income of NOK 1,554 million and a positive result after tax of NOK 1,896 million. The result is significantly affected by currency effects due to a weaker Norwegian krone against our primary currency USD, but to a lesser extent than in 2022. The currency effects in the result amounted to NOK 0.4 billion compared to NOK 2.1 billion in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excluding currency effects, the result for 2023 is NOK 1.5 billion, an increase of NOK 1.4 billion compared to 2022. This is mainly due to a significant increase in interest income from the investment portfolio and liquid assets, realized gains as well as a change in results for liquid assets placed in a bond portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interest income from the portfolio has increased considerably to NOK 680 million as the loan portfolio has grown by 26% in NOK at the same time as floating interest has continued to increase through 2023. The accounts also show realized gains of a total of NOK 467 million and NOK 370 million in dividends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investment portfolio has been written down in total by NOK 460 million in 2023, of which NOK 121 million is realized loss. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to weigh on the portfolio and further write-downs were necessary in the previous year. The same applies to the situation in Myanmar, where conditions continue to be demanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norfund’s total balance sheet at the end of 2023 was NOK 42.0 billion. The balance increased by NOK 4.6 billion from year end 2022, of which earned profit added to equity amounted to NOK 1.9 billion and the year’s capital injection from the state budget amounted to NOK 2.7 billion. Value-adjusted equity based on estimated market values \u200b\u200bfor Norfund’s portfolio was NOK 46.6 billion as of 31 December 2023. Norfund\u2019s Climate Investment Fund accounts for 4,0 billion NOK of Norfund\u2019s balance and 2.0 billion NOK of the capital allocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
