Least developed countries

In general, the poorer the country, the greater the need for Norfund’s investment. 45 per cent of Norfund’s new investment commitments in 2010 were in LDCs, 9 per cent in low income countries and 4 per cent in middle income countries. 41 per cent of the new investments were in higher middle income countries, largely due to an SN Power investment in Brazil. Norfund’s total portfolio excluding SN Power’s investments had an LDC share of 38 per cent at the end of 2010.
