Summary of 2013

During 2013, the Board approved grant financing for 13 projects for a total value of EUR 39.6 million.

Disbursements of grants amounted to EUR 27.3 million (2012: EUR 27.1 million). The disbursements of credits amounted to EUR 8.0 million in 2013 (2012: EUR 14.1 million).

The net result for the year before adjustments for currency exchange fluctuations and after disbursements of grant aid totalled EUR -22.0 million in comparison with EUR -25.0 million the previous year.

The effects of currency fluctuations showed a result of EUR -12.1 million (2012: EUR -5.1 million). After hedging measures, the effects from currency fluctuations are EUR -9.1 million.

Three projects with credits from NDF were completed in the course of the year. A total of five credit projects are still under implementation at the beginning of 2014.

NDF’s Guidelines for Project Identification and Screening underwent further revision in 2013. The guidelines adopted a more proactive focus on gender and a stronger emphasis on issues related to integrity and good governance.

NDF has developed a system to monitor and evaluate the progress of projects under implementation. The system provides information on how well the project implementation is on track in comparison to the projects’ intended objectives and results, and identifies issues which need attention in individual projects. It is noteworthy that the majority of projects are progressing as planned.

NDF continued to review its anticorruption work. In 2013, an integrity due diligence procedure was introduced to detect integrity risks.

An evaluation of the Nordic Climate Facility (NCF) was carried out during 2013. The evaluation concluded that the portfolio quality of NCF is good, that the facility responds to demand, and that its costs compare favourably with other similar schemes. In September, a new allocation was approved for NCF.

Furthermore, an internal assessment of the Small Grants Facility (SGF) was carried out. The assessment concluded that the SGF has proved to be a useful instrument and co-financing partners have shown interest.

A new strategy was approved in December outlining the activities of NDF during the years 2014-2015. The new strategy refers to NDF’s role within the global development and climate finance arena, and that NDF is the only joint Nordic financial institution with a clear mandate focused on climate and development.

NDF engaged in a number of selected and focused outreach activities to share NDF’s own experiences and lessons learned: Global Green Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP), Global Green Growth Forum (3GF), and the nineteenth Conference of the Parties (COP-19) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. In addition, NDF arranged a seminar on innovative climate change financing mechanisms in collaboration with the IDB Group.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2013

Highlights in 2013

Operations, projects and results

During 2013, the Board approved grant financing for 13 projects for a total value of EUR 39.6 million. Under the climate change mandate, from 2009 to 2013, NDF has approved 63 projects for a total value of EUR 174.1 million for climate change projects in 16 countries. Nearly half of the approved euro volume is allocated to countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (42%), and the rest for Asia and Latin America. The reduction of greenhouse gases for all approved NDF mitigation projects has been estimated at 4.1 million tons of CO2 equivalents per year.

Three projects with credits from NDF were completed in the course of the year. A total of five credit projects are still under implementation at the beginning of 2014. The remaining credits are expected to be completed during 2014.

An independent external evaluation of NCF was carried out during 2013. The evaluation concluded that the portfolio quality of NCF is good, that the facility responds to demand, and that its costs compare favourably with other similar schemes. On the basis of the recommendation in the evaluation to replenish the facility, a new allocation was approved for NCF in September. The focus theme under the new allocation is inclusive green growth projects contributing to private sector development. An internal assessment of the SGF, after the second year of operations, concluded that the facility has proved to be a useful instrument and that co-financing partners have shown interest. It also listed a number of lessons learned. On the basis of the assessment, a new allocation to SGF was, in principle, supported by the Board, but it was expected to be processed in early 2014.

NDF’s Guidelines for Project Identification and Screening underwent further revision in 2013. The guidelines adopted a more proactive focus on gender and a stronger emphasis on issues related to integrity and good governance. These aspects are expected to enable a strengthened focus towards a selection of projects where key Nordic development priorities can be supported, and thus create value added as a result of NDF’s involvement.

Also, more generally, NDF continued to receive favourable feedback from its co-financing partners and partner countries – much in line with the arguments in the independent external evaluation of NDF in 2012 - that it is flexible and able to act quickly, in a value-adding manner that does not cause additional costs. In 2013, in selected thematic issues (e.g., innovative climate change mechanisms, transport sector climate change adaptation), NDF’s input contributed to general developments among development cooperation actors.

During recent years, NDF has been developing the Project Performance Rating System (PPR) to monitor and evaluate the progress of projects under implementation. The purpose of the PPR system is to provide information on how well the project implementation is on track in comparison to the projects’ intended objectives and results, and identify issues which need attention in individual projects. The system was presented to NDF’s Board of Directors in December 2013. All climate projects were rated on five areas: preparatory activities, partner agency cooperation,

implementing agency cooperation, implementation progress in components, and outcomes and impacts. Overall, the rating gave a fair view of the status of projects, and on the basis of the report it was noted that the majority of projects are progressing as planned. In addition, the report helped management and staff to focus on issues that need attention and action in individual projects. All projects will continue to be rated once each calendar year.

NDF continued to review its anticorruption work in order to further improve its practises. In 2013, an integrity due diligence procedure was introduced to ensure that a potential recipient of NDF financing does not appear on debarment or sanctions list and to find other information regarding such entity that NDF should be aware of in order to detect integrity risks. Additionally, NDF introduced a simple online form for whistleblowers to contact the Anticorruption Committee. On this form, whistleblowers have the option of providing information anonymously. No cases have been closed and no new cases have emerged during 2013; there are currently five cases pending in the Anticorruption Committee.

In December, the Board of Directors approved a new strategy document outlining the activities of NDF during the years 2014-2015. NDF will strive to further sharpen its focus on certain areas and themes particularly under the three broad clusters; infrastructure, natural resources and climate change capacity-building, by emphasising the impacts of interventions on private sector development and on employing innovative ways and mechanisms to provide funding. The strategy also refers to NDF’s role within the global development and climate finance arena. As the only joint Nordic financial institution with a clear mandate focused on climate and development, NDF will continue to promote a broad scope of Nordic priorities.

Outreach and international cooperation

During 2013, NDF engaged in a number of selected and focused outreach activities to share NDF’s own experiences and lessons learned in order to have a broader impact than on NDF’s own activities only.

In April, NDF became a member of the Global Green Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP), a forum led by the World Bank, OECD and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). GGKP is a global network that addresses knowledge gaps in green growth theory and practices for policy-makers and practitioners.

NDF was also invited to participate in the Global Green Growth Forum (3GF) in Copenhagen in October. The Forum brought together 250 top-level representatives from international organisations, governments and businesses. NDF presented its experiences in thematic sessions.

In November, a seminar on innovative climate change financing mechanisms was arranged in collaboration with the IDB Group. The two-day seminar was attended by over 60 professionals from a variety of institutions, including multilateral and bilateral development financing institutions, governments, the private sector and research institutions from different continents. Follow-up discussions have been held to open up possibilities to engage in similar activities in also the African and Asian regions.

03


In November, NDF participated in the nineteenth Conference of the Parties (COP-19) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Warsaw, Poland. NDF had been invited to present its lessons learned from supporting adaptation measures to climate change in the transport sector.

During 2013, NDF also launched its new website. The site was visually and technically renewed, in order to help users find information more easily.

Financial issues

Disbursements of grants amounted to EUR 27.3 million (2012: EUR 27.1 million). The disbursements of credits amounted to EUR 8.0 million (2012: EUR 14.1 million).

The net result for the year before adjustments for currency exchange fluctuations and after disbursements of grant aid totalled EUR -22.0 million in comparison with EUR -25.0 million the previous year.

The effects of currency fluctuations showed a result of EUR -12.1 million (2012: EUR -5.1 million). After hedging measures, the effects from currency fluctuations are EUR -9.1 million (2012: EUR -3.5 million).

The question of NDF’s future financial resources was discussed by the Board in two meetings, in June and in December. The Nordic Council has twice passed a resolution recommending to the Nordic countries’ governments that more capital be allocated to NDF to further enhance its climate change-related activities. The Board has not come to a conclusion on the issue, but has agreed to continue discussions in 2014, and that a joint response to the recommendation of the Nordic Council be prepared by the Nordic governments.

NDF’s Climate Change Projects in 2013

Since the introduction of the climate change mandate in 2009, NDF has approved 63 projects for a total value of EUR 174.1 million for climate change projects in 16 countries (nine countries in Africa, four countries in Asia and three countries in Latin America). Private sector-related facilities constitute approximately 27% out of total approved NDF funding. Approximately 41% of the projects are based on parallel financing and 59% are jointly financed.

During 2013, the Board of Directors approved grant financing for 13 projects with a total value of EUR 39.6 million. NDF has been active in three broad clusters; infrastructure, natural resources and climate change capacity-building.

During 2013, NDF continued to approve and implement activities under the Small Grant Facility (SGF), which is a financing frame of EUR 5 million to be allocated as small-scale financing for studies, project preparatory activities or small project components relating to climate change adaptation and/or mitigation. During the year, an internal assessment of the facility was conducted and presented to the Board. Following the subsequent positive comments, a second allocation to the facility will be presented to the Board in early 2014.

Africa

Projects Approved in Africa NDF financing EUR m Mozambique Scalable Community Adaptive Solutions 4.0Zambia Strengthening Climate Resilience Project 4.0Mozambique Capacity for Climate Resilient Road Sector 3.8

In Africa, NDF’s activities were strengthened with three new projects, of which two are co-financed with the World Bank, and one with the African Development Bank (AfDB).

In partnership with the World Bank, NDF is financing Scalable Community-Managed Climate Change Adaptive Solutions Project with EUR 4.0 million in Mozambique. The objective is to reduce vulnerability and strengthen resilience of coastal fishing communities. The overall vision of the project is to bring about transformation of the artisanal fishing sector in Mozambique so that community rights-based fisheries management will re-establish ecosystem health in coastal waters. Regaining ecosystem health will increase ecological resilience to climate change and expand opportunities for tourism, and substantially increase fish catch and catch value thus reducing poverty and increasing social resilience in fishing communities. The project will be implemented by the Institute for Development of Small-scale Fisheries, Ministry of Fisheries, with technical assistance from the international organisation Rare Conservation.

In Zambia, NDF is supporting the development of climate-resilient infrastructure standards with a grant of EUR 4.0 million. The Strengthening Climate Resilience Project – Developing Climate Resilient Infrastructure Standards and Codes forms part of a larger component of a multi-donor long-term investment programme, led by the World Bank, addressing climate-resilient infrastructure policies and piloting their effective implementation. The programme will play a catalytic role in promoting climate-resilient growth strategies in Zambia. The project will need to be integrated throughout the national transport policy, planning and management system in order to make the climate change resiliency more effective.

With a grant of EUR 3.8 million, NDF is financing Developing Capacity for a Climate Resilient Road Sector, Nacala Road Corridor project Phase III, aiming at strengthening the road sector in Mozambique. The AfDB finances the Nacala Road Corridor Project, which develops a transport

link between Malawi, Zambia and Mozambique to increase East-West connectivity and stimulate socio-economic development. The current ongoing phase of the project covers a road section which faces high climatic risks due to the hillier terrain. NDF has agreed to support the sustainability of the project by enhancing climate change considerations in planning and design of road transport infrastructure. NDF has used early lessons learned from other transport adaptation projects in the design and will provide additional expertise not covered by other financers. The objective of the NDF support is to provide the National Road Administration, and other key stakeholders, with capacity and additional tools to manage climate impact threats to road development. The NDF project aims at enhancing the capacity within the stakeholder groups to make road development plans, improve construction methods and ensure active and sustainable asset management.

In co-financing with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 2013, NDF approved financing for five new projects in Asia.

In Vietnam, NDF is financing transfer and pilot testing of innovative biogas technologies through the project Biogas Expansion under the Low Carbon Agricultural Support Project (LCASP). The NDF support will help LCASP demonstrate effective utilisation of biogas, strengthen value chains and develop linkages with academia and technical institutions. Furthermore, it will support the development of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) relating to waste management in Vietnam. The project will focus on expansion of biogas in ten provinces located in northern, central and southern parts of Vietnam. It will support small, medium and large scale biogas plants and contribute to tangible improvements in livelihoods of small farmers. The NDF contribution is EUR 4.1 million.

With a grant of EUR 4 million, NDF is supporting climate resilience in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region (GMS). The Climate Resilience and Low Carbon Strategies in GMS will assist countries in the GMS to develop tools, capacity and processes that will enhance their ability to adapt to climate change in an efficient and equitable manner. Furthermore, the project will develop Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA), test low carbon interventions in the transport and energy sectors, and strengthen institutional capacity to monitor, report and verify CO2 emission reductions. The NDF support will be part of the GMS Core Environment Program and Biodiversity Conservation Initiative, which is financed by Finland, Sweden, ADB and GEF. The project will combine adaptation and mitigation activities.

Also in the GMS, NDF is financing the Improving Nitrogen-use Efficiency for Climate Change Mitigation in the GMS. The project aims to reduce the use of synthetic nitrogen fertilisers in the agricultural sector. At the same time, the project will support the farmers by introducing climate-smart agricultural practices to increase the productivity and build climate-resilient farming systems. The project is expected to reduce nitrous oxide emissions, increase food-security and income among farmers, have health benefits for the farming communities, and have awareness raising influence on the whole sector. Focus will be on women and their key role in the agricultural sector. NDF is supporting the project with EUR 3.7 million.

Together with the Government of Nepal and the ADB, NDF is financing Building Climate Resilience of Watersheds in Mountain Eco-Regions (BCRWME) in Nepal with a grant of EUR 3.6 million. The project aims to improve access to and enhance the reliability of water supply for communities living in the watersheds of Nepal river systems, which are significantly vulnerable to climate change. The project is expected to benefit farm households with improved irrigation, and furthermore, households will benefit directly from improved access to water for domestic use, especially during the dry season.

With a grant of EUR 500,000, NDF is supporting Pilot Project to Test the Climate Change Benefits of Biochar in Nepal. The objective of the biochar project is to pilot-test, in three agro-ecological zones of Nepal, biochar production as a climate change adapting soil amendment, carbon sequestration method, and rural energy source. The project intends to test what feed-stock burnt in what temperature produces the best biochar for different ecological areas of Nepal. The biochar stove design is important and therefore different models will be tested under the project. One of the main outputs will be to produce a handbook for biochar application, including lessons learned, which can be used by anyone who wants to apply the biochar technology. Latin America

In Latin America, four new projects will benefit from NDF financing in collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

In Bolivia, with a grant of EUR 4 million, NDF is supporting Multipurpose Water Resources and Irrigation Project for the Municipalities of Batallas, Pucarani and El Alto/Pilot Adaptation Plan of Action for High Inter-Valley Communities. The NDF support is linked to the Pilot Program on Climate Resilience, a water resources project financed by the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) and IDB to supply fresh water to the metropolitan area of Bolivia. With NDF funding, the

05


affected downstream rural communities are helped to adapt to the reduced water availability in the future as a result of the water intake but also as consequence of the reduced natural water flows because of climate change. The project will help the communities to increase the agricultural productivity and living standards by implementing several adaptation measures including water collection, regulation and storage together with conveyance of water for drinking and irrigation.

NDF is providing EUR 3.5 million to develop climate-resilience in micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in Latin America and the Caribbean. Building Climate Resilience in MSMEs in Latin America and the Caribbean (PROADAPT) has a general objective to increase the climate-resilience of micro, small and medium-sized (MSME) companies and the local communities in which they operate, while also looking for new business opportunities for MSMEs. MSMEs in the region will also benefit from a special climate change adaptation knowledge platform that will share knowledge, models, methodologies and lessons learned from the project.

With a grant of EUR 240,000, NDF is supporting Adaptation to Climate Change in Poor Neighbourhoods of Tegucigalpa. The objective of this technical cooperation project is to integrate climate change adaptation actions into an IDB program that will make comprehensive neighbourhood upgrading plans in poor areas of the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa. The NDF support will allow poor households to build resilience against severe weather, protect their assets during severe weather, and rebuild them after such events. Another objective will be to generate capacity in the Honduran Social Investment Fund to integrate climate change considerations in their future investments.

Together with the IDB, The Multilateral Investment Fund, the government of South Korea and GDF SUEZ, NDF is financing IDEAS Energy Innovation Contest 2013 with EUR 200,000. The contest is seeking proposals that promote innovative solutions to energy problems, benefit local communities, create jobs and contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Latin America and the Caribbean region. The objective is to support innovative projects, promote research and development, and encourage introduction of new applied technology solutions in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency with special focus on improving the energy access in rural areas.

Global

Projects Approved Globally NDF financing EUR mGlobal NCF - Fourth Call for proposals 4.0

Nordic Climate Facility

The Nordic Climate Facility (NCF) is financed by NDF and implemented in cooperation with the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO). Through the facility, NDF provides grants to development projects that have the potential to combat climate change and reduce poverty in low-income countries. It promotes the transfer of technology, know-how and innovative ideas between the Nordic countries and low-income countries facing climate change.

06

The facility was established in 2009 and it is based on calls for proposals with specific themes. In the beginning of 2013, when the facility had received funding for three calls for proposals amounting to EUR 18.0 million, an external evaluation was carried out. The evaluation confirmed positive overall findings and constructive recommendations for further work. Consequently, an allocation of EUR 4.0 million was approved by the NDF Board of Directors in September, and the fourth call for proposals was launched in December 2013, with the theme inclusive green growth projects contributing to private sector development. Preference will be given to projects in Sub-Saharan Africa.

In its previous calls, NCF received 442 applications and 40 climate projects have been financed by the facility. The themes covered by the three calls included energy efficiency and water resources, urban adaptation to climate change and renewable energy, as well as innovative low-cost climate solutions with a focus on local business development. Many of the projects operate in an interesting area between the public and private sectors, thereby aiming to strengthen NDF’s value-adding, innovative and risk-sharing role in this area. Since the inception of the facility in 2009, 12 projects have been completed.

Cooperation with Co-Financing Partners

An enhanced cooperation with the African Development Bank (AfDB) was pursued throughout the year. In May, NDF signed an amended co-financing agreement with the AfDB. The agreement reflects better NDF’s current mandate and co-financing modalities, and therefore enhances possibilities for cooperation with the AfDB. Later in the year, NDF entered into its first co-financing project with the AfDB since 2005 and there are other co-financing projects in the planning pipeline.

Also with the World Bank, Asian Development Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank cooperation in the form of regular policy and operational level dialogue was continued during the year. New co-financing projects were signed with all of them.

NDF continued the mutually beneficial cooperation also with Nordic co-financing partners (SIDA, ICEIDA, Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland) in selected, earlier approved projects.

Credits

At the end of 2013, NDF had entered into 188 credit agreements, the total value of which, including additional financing and adjusted for cancellations and calculating the EUR/SDR currency exchange rate as at 31 December 2013, amounted to EUR 892.5 million (2012: EUR 914.8 million). Of these agreements, 160 were credits to public sector projects (EUR 851.0 million), 25 were loans with equity features or equity investments (EUR 29.4 million) and three were other loans (EUR 12.1 million).

As at 31 December 2013, disbursements under signed agreements amounted to EUR 837.3 million; approximately 57.4% of this amount is denominated in SDR. As a result of the weakening of the SDR against the euro, the value of the outstanding SDR credits decreased by EUR 12.1 million. After hedging measures, the decrease in value is EUR 9.1 million.


07

NDF’s participation in the HIPC Initiative

Since the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund adopted the “Debt Initiative for Heavily Indebted Poor Countries” (HIPC), NDF has participated in the initiative through the HIPC Trust Fund, which is administered by IDA. By the end of 2013, NDF had made allocations to the HIPC Initiative for debt relief to nine of the Fund’s borrowing countries.

The allocations made in previous years from NDF’s accumulated net income before foreign exchange differences amounts to EUR 29.6 million to cover the obligations of the Fund under the enhanced HIPC initiative. This amount has been paid into the HIPC Trust Fund. Cooperation with Nordic institutions

Together with the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) and the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO), NDF hosted a visit in April by Dagfinn Høybråten, the new Secretary General of the Nordic Council of Ministers. NDF maintained its close contacts and dialogue at various levels with both the Nordic Council and the Nordic Council of Ministers in issues relating to climate and development. The aim is to exchange information and discuss NDF’s role in this context.

Cooperation with NEFCO was continued through the new phase of the Nordic Climate Facility (NCF), approved in September. Steering of the NCF, including the projects from its earlier phases, was continued particularly in the joint Management Committee of NCF. The committee’s operational rules were also clarified.

NDF cooperates closely with the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) mainly through shared office premises, staff administration, IT services, accounting and financial management. Cooperation and contacts in all these matters between NIB and NDF are regular and frequent, and provide synergies for the two institutions.

In selected thematic and operational matters cooperation and exchange of information also took place between NDF, NIB and NEFCO, for the benefit of all three institutions.

Capital and accounting currency

NDF changed its capital and accounting currency from SDR to EUR on 1 January 2001. Fluctuations in the SDR/EUR exchange rate may lead to substantial variations in financial results, positive or negative, from one year to another. Therefore, since 2012, hedging measures have been taken to decrease the effect from the exchange rate fluctuations. About 35% of the credits denominated in SDR are hedged against these effects.

The Fund’s financial result for 2013 shows a foreign exchange difference of EUR -12.1 million before hedging and EUR -9.1 million after hedging (2012: EUR -5.1 million before hedging and EUR -3.5 after hedging). This difference is to a large extent due to the fact that the US dollar, which represents 41.9% of the SDR currency basket, weakened during 2013 against NDF’s capital and accounting currency, the euro.

Liquidity and capital

The liquid assets of NDF are managed by NIB and Nordea on behalf of NDF. The average interest rate has been approximately 0.2% (2012: 0.05%). NDF’s deposits are placed on 1-12 month intervals. The liquidity as per 31 December 2013 was EUR 97.8 million (2012: EUR 93.1 million).

During the year, disbursements amounted to EUR 35.3 million (2012: EUR 41.2 million), EUR 27.3 million on grants and EUR 8.0 million on credits. At the end of the year, accumulated disbursements on grants amounted to EUR 83.1 million (2012: EUR 55.8 million) and EUR 837.3 million (2012: EUR 829.3 million) on credits. Upon request by the Board, member countries paid in total EUR 19.5 million of Fund capital in 2013 (2012: EUR 25.5 million).

During 2013, NDF received repayments under disbursed credits amounting to EUR 14.3 million.

Board of Directors

The Chair of the Board for the period 1 January to 30 April 2013 was Egill Heiđar Gislason (Iceland), with Harald Tollan (Norway) as Deputy Chair. As of 1 May, Harald Tollan took over the chair with Lars Roth (Sweden) as Deputy Chair.

Sigfús Ólafsson was appointed new Icelandic alternate as of 18 January 2013, succeeding Anna Karlsdóttir. As of 21 February 2013, Lars Roth was appointed the Swedish member of the Board succeeding Anna Westerholm. Riikka Laatu was appointed the Finnish member as of 19 September, 2013 succeeding Satu Santala, and Laura Torvinen was appointed Finnish alternate, succeeding Jukka Pesola the same date.

A list of NDF Board members and their alternates can be found on page 9.

Administration

In October 2013, the Government of Finland and NDF signed a renewed Host Country Agreement. As international organisations do not fall under any national legislation, a number of matters of both principal and practical nature are settled by an agreement between the organisation and the host country. Accordingly, the Host Country Agreement regulates the relations between the Government of Finland and NDF and is one of NDF’s constituent documents. The renewed agreement strengthens NDF’s status as an international organisation and includes also provisions on inter alia immunities and privileges as well as provisions on the staff’s pension and social security coverage. The agreement will enter into force after final parliamentary approval, after which it will be available on NDF’s website.

The NDF office has, along with the NIB headquarters, been certified as a Green Office by WWF Finland since 2009. The biggest share of NDF’s carbon footprint comes from air travel, which in 2013 amounted to 88 tons of CO2 equivalents.


08

As of 31 December 2013, thirteen people were employed by NDF (2012:13 employees). In addition, NDF has had a long-term agreement with an in-house consultant. A summary of the employees can be found on page 9. Control Committee

The Control Committee ensures that the Fund’s operations are conducted in accordance with its Statutes and is responsible for its audit. The Committee presented its annual auditor’s report to the Nordic Council of Ministers (NCM) in March 2013. The Control Committee met twice in 2013. A list of the members of the Committee can be found on page 9.

Financial results and allocation

NDF’s total assets as of 31 December 2013 amounted to EUR 863,201,959 (2012: EUR 874,716,461). This amount includes outstanding credits to public sector projects, other loans with equity features and equity investments to the amount of EUR 750,290,178 (2012: EUR 769,053,590) and placements with credit institutions to the amount of EUR 97,833,912 (2012: EUR 93,141,728). A reversal of provisions against possible losses on other loans, loans with equity features and equity investments amounting to EUR 970,523 was made in the accounts of 2013. The previous year showed an increase of EUR 132,816.

Commitments under credits, signed but not yet disbursed, were distributed as follows:

MEUR 2013 2012 Credits 16.0 33.0

As of 31 December 2013, NDF’s capital consisted of SDR 515 million and EUR 290.9 million in paid-in fund capital (2012: SDR 515 million and EUR 271.4 million) and EUR -119,559,268 (2012: EUR -88,497,429) in accumulated net income after adjustments for currency exchange fluctuations.

The Fund’s income during 2013, amounting to EUR 7,210,422 (2012: EUR 5,369,001), consisted of income from credits to the public sector to the amount of EUR 5,725,401 (2012: EUR 5,993,800), interest on placements with credit institutions of EUR 197,593 (2012: EUR 50,880) and EUR 1,287,428 (2012: EUR -677,034) as remuneration on equity loans and other loans. Zimbabwe continues to be in arrears to NDF. All of its accrued, outstanding obligations towards NDF were therefore placed in non-accrual status.

Administrative expenses were EUR 2,819,777 (2012: EUR 3,198,647). The largest single item of expenditure consists of salaries and ancillary expenses of EUR 1,935,166 (2012: EUR 1,887,806).

The net income for the year, which after adjustments for currency exchange fluctuations and hedging measures of EUR -9,142,612 (2012: EUR -3,458,513), amounts to EUR -31,061,839 (2012: EUR -28,464,455), is carried forward to the new account.

General operating policiesThe purpose of the Nordic Development Fund (NDF, “the Fund”) is to promote economic and social development in developing countries through participation in financing, on concessional terms, of projects of interest to the Nordic countries. The headquarters of the Fund are in Helsinki, Finland, at the premises of the Nordic Invest-ment Bank. On 9 November 1998, a new Agreement regarding NDF was signed by its member countries. The new Agreement, which replaced the Agreement of 3 November 1988, entered into force on 18 September 1999. The new Agreement contains provisions concerning the Fund’s immunity and the exemption of the Fund’s assets and income from all taxation. The Fund has the legal status of an international legal person, with full legal capacity. A Headquarters Agreement between NDF and the Government of Finland was signed on 14 October 1999 and renewed in October 2013. The new agreement is expected to enter into force 2014. Pursuant to the recommendation of the NDF Board of Directors to the Nordic Council of Ministers, the Nordic Cooperation Ministers approved amendments to NDF’s bylaws in 2009 and NDF started to operate under its new mandate to support interventions aimed at adaptation to and mitigation of the negative effects of climate change. The capital of NDF shall in the future be utilised in the form of grant aid for climate-related interventions in low-income countries. This capital, approximately one billion euros over a period of 35 years consists of repayments on the 188 credits NDF granted during 1989-2005 The last repayment is due in 2045.

Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation of financial statementsThe Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with methods of valuation and recognition of income and expenses as described below. As from 1 January 2001, the Fund’s Financial Statements are presented in euro in accordance with the decision of the Nordic Council of Ministers of 24 August 2000 to replace SDR with EUR. The paid-in fund capital has been converted into euro. The Fund’s Financial Statements are presented in euro. With the exceptions noted below, they are based on historical cost.

Assessments in preparation of financial statements The preparation of financial statements requires management to make assessments and esti-mates that affect the result, financial position and additional disclosures. Such assessments and estimates are based on available information. Actual results may differ materially from the assessments made.

Foreign currency translationMonetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than euro are translated into euro at the rate quoted by the European Central Bank (see Note 12). Any gain or loss arising from the valuation appears in the Income Statement as “Foreign exchange differences” and are mainly related to the SDR rate. As NDF will for many years to come have outstanding credits denominated in SDR, changes in the SDR-euro rate may lead to the Income Statement showing substantial foreign exchange differences since these currency positions are not 100% hedged

against changes in foreign exchange rates. However, in 2012, measures were taken to reduce the effects from the foreign exchange differences by hedging 35% of the credits denominated in SDR. Non-monetary assets are recorded in euro at the euro rate prevailing on the date of their acquisition.

Cash and cash equivalentsCash and Cash Equivalents consist of monetary assets and placements with an original maturity of up to 6 months.

Derivative instrumentsApproximately 35% of the SDR portfolio is protected against exchange rate effects through currency options. In order to increase the return on the liquidity, in 2013 NDF entered into forward and deposition contracts with a commercial bank. The derivative instruments are valued at fair value at the end of the year and the change in fair value is recognised in the income statement.

Placements with credit institutionsNDF has invested its monetary assets with the Nordic Investment Bank and a commercial bank at current market interest rates. The placements are initially recognised at cost (normally nominal value) at settlement date. Placements are also recorded at cost in the Annual Report. Accrued interest on placements is recorded within Accrued Income in the Balance Sheet. Approximately 50% of its cash and cash equivalents are placed with a commercial bank. Placements with credit institutions longer than 6 months are shown as investments in the Cash Flow Statement. The amount is included in the Balance Sheet as Other long-termfinancial placements.

Credits with government guarantee outstanding The recipient countries for NDF credits are low-income developing countries. The credit period for credits with government guarantee is 40 years, including a 10-year grace period. The loans are interest-free. The credits are initially recognised at cost at settlement date. For payments which are more than 180 days overdue, the Fund places all credits to the borrower in question in non-accrual status, whereupon the Fund stops recording accrued service charges and fee and commission revenue as income on the Income Statement. All accrued but unpaid income in respect of the borrower in question that had been recorded as income is then deducted from the Income Statement. As of 31 December 2013, Zimbabwe was more than 180 days overdue with payments. There is a considerable concessionality in the credits from NDF as they are interest-free and have very long maturities.

Provision for loan lossesNDF’s lending conditions allow for a long-term view to be taken of the repayment capacity of recipient countries. In the event of debt consolidation, it is assumed that credits from NDF will be treated in the same manner as loans from other multilateral institutions. Credits outstanding are recognised in the Balance Sheet at their recoverable amount. Loans with government guarantee outstanding are recorded net of provisions for possible loan losses

and actual loan losses. Provision for possible loan losses is established based on the assessment of the nature and maturity structure of the credit portfolio.

Other loans outstandingOther loans outstanding consist of loans with financial liability features to the private sector. The loans are initially recognised at cost at settlement day. In the Balance Sheet, other loans outstanding are recorded net of provisions for actual and possible loan losses. A provision for possible loan losses is established based on the assessment of the nature and maturity structure of the loan portfolio.

Loans with equity features and equity investmentsThe statutes of NDF enable the Fund, as an integrated and permanent part of its operations, to provide financing to private sector activities in developing countries without government guarantee. Loans with equity features and equity investments are recognised in the Balance Sheet at cost after write-down. The value of outstanding loans with equity features and equity invest-ments are continuously revalued by the Fund. If the book value exceeds the valuation made, a corresponding write-down is made. Write-downs are presented separately in the Income Statement.

Intangible assetsIntangible assets mainly consist of investments in software and software licenses for IT-systems. The investments are carried at historical cost and are amortised over the assessed useful life of the assets, which is estimated to be between 3 and 5 years. The amortisations are made on a straight-line basis.

Tangible assetsTangible assets are recognised at historical cost, less any accumulated depreciation based on their assessed useful life. The depreciation period for tangible assets is determined by assessing the individual item, usually 3 to 5 years.

Write-downs and impairment of intangible and tangible assetsThe Fund’s assets are reviewed annually for impairment. If there is any objective evidence of impairment, the impairment loss is determined based on the recoverable amount of the assets.

EquityIn August 2000, the Nordic Council of Ministers passed a resolution to increase the capital of NDF by EUR 330 million. After this replenishment, the capital of the Nordic Development Fund amounted to SDR 515 million and EUR 330 million. As of 31 December 2013, SDR 515 million - the equivalent of EUR 691 million- and EUR 291 million, totalling EUR 982 million has been paid in by the owners. Payment of the remainder of the subscribed capital will take place upon request by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Since the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) initiated the “Debt Initiative for Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) in 1996, NDF has participated in this debt relief initiative through the HIPC Trust Fund which is administered by IDA. The enhancement of the initiative carried out in 1999 called for further financial commitments by NDF. To this end, the Nordic Council of Ministers in 2000 approved the amendment of NDF’s statutes in order to

provide a general authorisation for the Fund to provide its part of shared contributions under debt relief initiatives in the framework of internationally co-ordinated initiatives in which other multilateral organisations participate. The allocated funds for HIPC were a total of EUR 29.6 million. These funds have been paid in to the HIPC Trust Fund between 1999 and 2010.

Income from service and commitment charges, loans with equity features and equity investmentsThe Fund’s long-term lending with government guarantee is interest-free, but a service charge of 0.75% per annum is collected on outstanding amounts. A commitment charge of 0.5 % per annum is collected on any undisbursed balance one year after the loan agreement has been signed. Income from other loans is presented within Service charges from credits in the Income Statement. Income from loans with equity features is normally related to the return received by the shareholders of the company. Income from service charges on lending and income from loans with equity features and equity investments are presented as separate items in the Income Statement. Commitment charges are presented within Fee and commission income.

Grant financingAs a disbursement is made to a climate project, the cost is accounted under “Grant financing for climate projects” in the income statement. Upon completion of a project or cancellation of a grant, any refund is written back as a reduction of the total costs for the year under “Refund of grant financing”.

General administrative expensesNDF receives a host country payment from the Finnish government equal to the tax levied on the salaries of the Fund’s employees. The host country payment, which the Fund received in 2013, amounted to EUR 464,120 (2012: EUR 413,584). The payment is accounted for as a reduction in the Fund’s administrative expenses.

Employees’ pensions and insuranceThe Fund is responsible for offering pension protection to its personnel. In accordance with the host country agreement between the Fund and the Finnish Government, the Fund has adopted the Finnish government employee pension plan for the Fund’s personnel. The Fund’s liability in respect to pension rights is completely covered. Contributions to the pension plan, which are paid to the State Pension Fund, are calculated as a percentage of the salaries. Ministry of Finance in Finland determines the basis for the contributions and establishes the actual amount of the contributions by recommendation of the local government pensions institution Keva. Under the Finnish pension system at present, the usual age of retirement is 63-68. NDF has also introduced an additional pension system for its permanent employees. The additional pen-sion insurance is a group pension insurance plan that is based on a defined contribution plan. In addition to the Finnish social security system for its employees, NDF has subscribed to a comprehensive life, accident, health, disability and travel insurance programme.

AUDITORS’ REPORT

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE CONTROL COMMITTEE OF

THE NORDIC DEVELOPMENT FUND

Independent Auditors’ report on the financial statements

In our capacity as auditors appointed by the Control Committee of the Nordic Development

Fund we have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Fund, which comprise

the balance sheet as at 31 December 2013, and the income statement, statement of changes in

equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant ac-

counting policies and other explanatory notes.

The Board of Directors’ and the Managing Director’s responsibility for the financial statements

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of the

financial statements in accordance with the accounting principles described in the notes to the

financial statements and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the

preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to

fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards

require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain

reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and

disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judg-

ment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial

statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor

considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the

financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the

circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the

entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting

policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well

as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide

a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements, which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December

2013, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for

the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes,

are prepared in all material respects in accordance with the accounting principles described in

the notes to the financial statements.

Report on the other requirements

In accordance with the Terms of Engagement our audit also included a review of whether the

Board of Directors’ and the Managing Director’s administration have complied with the Statutes

of the Fund. It is our opinion that the administration of the Board of Directors and the

Managing Director complied with the Statutes of the Fund.

AUDITORS’ REPORT

STATEMENT BY THE CONTROL COMMITTEE OF THE NORDIC DEVELOPMENT FUND ON

THE AUDIT OF THE ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTS OF THE FUND

To the Nordic Council of Ministers

In accordance with section 9 of the statutes of the Nordic Development Fund, we have been

appointed to ensure that the operations of the Fund are conducted in accordance with the

Statutes and to bear responsibility for the audit of the Fund. Having completed our assignment

for the year 2013, we hereby submit the following report.

The Control Committee met during the financial year as well as after the Fund’s financial

statements had been prepared, whereupon the necessary control and examination measures

were performed. The Fund’s Annual Report was examined at a meeting in Helsinki on 6

March 2014, at which time we also received the Auditor’s Report submitted on 6 March 2014

by the authorised public accountants appointed by the Control Committee.

Following the audit performed, we note that:

• the Fund’s operations during the financial year have been conducted in accordance

with the Statutes, and that

• the financial statements, which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2013,

and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash

flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies

and other explanatory notes, are prepared in all material respects in accordance with

the accounting principles described in the notes to the financial statements. The

financial statements show a loss of EUR 31,061,838.74, which will be carried forward

to new account.

We recommend to the Nordic Council of Ministers that:

• the income statement and the balance sheet be adopted, and

• the Board of Directors and Managing Director be discharged from liability for the

administration of the Fund’s operations during the accounting period examined by us.
