Environmental focus

KBN wants to take an increased responsibility when it comes to the environment. KBN has decided to offer a subsidized interest rate or Green lending rate to municipalities and countries that implement projects aimed at improving the environment.

Projects that can benefit from KBN's Green rate should be based on the local government's energy and climate plan and fall under the following categories:
-              Initiatives to reduce energy consumption
-              Initiatives to reduce climate gas emissions
-              Initiatives that make waste processing more environmentally friendly
-              Initiatives that promote nature and outdoor pursuits

Projects qualifying for KBN's Green Lending Rate can receive a floating rate 0.10% lower than the ordinary  interest rate offered by KBN.

Investments that are required by the energy and climate plan must be earmarked in the budget.
