By ‘committed investment’ is meant that there is an external commitment for a specific amount. For conversions to NOK, the exchange rate on the disbursement date is used for the part of the amount that is disbursed. The exchange rate at 31.12.2023 is used for the part that has not been disbursed.

Norfund makes a semi-annual assessment of each of the loans in the loan portfolio, including provisions for losses.

Loan loss provision and known loan losses

A loan is regarded as non-performing when borrower has not made due payments within 60 days of the due date. On balance sheet date Norfund had 10 (6 in 2022) non-performing loans with total interest and repayments due of NOK 188 million (NOK 126 million in 2022) and a total outstanding amount of NOK 255 million (157 million in 2022). Examples of default or losses are significant financial problems on the part of debtor, restrictions on foreign exchange transfers in countries in which debtor operates, debt settlement proceedings or winding up of a business.

*Amounts due that are less than 60 days late are associated with loan agreements where there are also claims that are more than 60 days past the due date.

Loans are written down by up to 100% of the outstanding principal and accumulated interest, depending on the likelihood of the amount being repaid. Four loans were considered partially lost, with a total loss of NOK 28.3 million in 2023.

Repayment

Sixteen loans were repaid in the course of the year (8 in 2022), while two were converted into equity.
