NIB and its Board of Directors invite you to follow our stakeholder event Next up: building a more resilient Nordic-Baltic region. The event will focus on the economic developments of the past two decades and the actions needed to further strengthen regional resilience amidst current geopolitical, economic, and environmental challenges.
The discussions will focus on:
- 20 years ago and now – have the Baltics closed the gap to the Nordics?
- What were the key economic developments during these past 20 years?
- What are the main priorities to ensure continuous sustainable growth in the new geopolitical reality?
- What has been the role of NIB, and how can the Bank further develop its offering to increase access to financing in the Baltics?
- How can NIB and the Nordic–Baltic stakeholders strengthen their cooperation towards their common goals on climate, productivity, and resilience?
