Kommunalbanken (KBN) is the highest rated Norwegian borrower (AAA/Aaa - S&P/Moody's) besides the Kingdom of Norway, which itself owns KBN 100%.
Due to large accumulated budget surpluses, currently at approximately 100% of GDP, the Kingdom of Norway does not issue any foreign currency debt. KBN, which represents both Norway as owner and the Norwegian public sector, is the closest proxy to Norwegian sovereign debt available in the international capital markets today. As a result, KBN offers investors a unique opportunity to gain exposure to the Norwegian public sector and one of the world's wealthiest economies.
As a frequent issuer of debt in the international capital markets, KBN considers it crucial to regularly update and expand its investor base. Therefore, KBN actively pursues an investor relations programme of face-to-face meetings with investors worldwide, participation in conferences and forums as well as offering a range of online and printed information to meet investors' needs.
