“We are very active in Denmark this year, and this collaboration is testament not only to the EIB Group’s long-standing relationship with Ringkjøbing Landbobank but also to our intention to be a point of reference for Danish financial intermediaries when it comes to climate finance.”

Earlier in the year, Ringkjøbing secured a loan agreement worth DKr745m with the European Investment Bank, of which the EIF is a part.

This loan is to be passed on to eligible Danish SMEs and mid-caps to improve their access to finance and aid their green transition efforts.
