NIB Q2 INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT / 3 President and CEO’s comments During the first half of the year, NIB continued to support investments that strengthen productivity and benefit the environment across the Nordic-Baltic region. The Bank financed projects across sectors including pharmaceuticals, defence, R&D investments, wind power, and municipal infrastructure such as roads and the construction and renovation of schools. Business activity reached record levels during the second quarter, with new financing ending at an all-time high for one quarter. Total disbursed new financing during the first half of the year reached EUR 2.6 billion, an increase of 29% compared to the same period last year. The Bank’s mandate fulfilment rate was 100%. NIB continued to deliver strong financial results in the first half of the year. Net profit amounted to EUR 141 million, an increase of 5% compared to the first half of 2025. As demand for NIB’s financing was high, it resulted in further growth in financing outstanding. Higher volumes and treasury activities supported net interest income, which increased to EUR 174 million. A total of EUR 5.7 billion was raised in new funding during the first half of the year, accounting for approximately 65% of NIB’s annual funding plan. This included NIB’s largest ever Environmental Bond of EUR 1 billion, issued in May. The Bank is in a strong financial position, as reflected in our AAA/Aaa credit rating, which was reaffirmed by S&P Global Ratings earlier this spring and by Moody’s in July. At the NB8 Prime Ministers’ meeting in Tallinn in June, I emphasised a simple point: the Nordic Investment Bank is the financing tool of its eight member countries, turning shared priorities into concrete investments, especially where cross-border cooperation matters most. NIB continues to adapt to strengthen competitiveness, resilience, and our common Nordic-Baltic interest. As we approach our 50th anniversary in the coming weeks, we will gather with stakeholders to reflect on our achievements and look ahead. In connection with NIB 50, we will also introduce our future-proofed strategy and mission, setting the direction for how we serve our region even better in the years to come. André Küüsvek, President & CEO

NIB Q2 INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT / 7 NET PROFIT/LOSS ON FINANCIAL OPERATIONS The net profit/loss on financial operations for the first half of the year amounted to a profit of EUR 4.6 million compared to a loss of EUR 3.2 million in the same period last year. The result in the first half of 2026 comprised of unrealised profit of EUR 4.6 million and realised gains of EUR 0.0 million. Unrealised valuation gains and losses on assets in the Bank’s liquidity portfolio of high quality bonds arise from changes in credit spreads. When credit spreads widen, this results in negative valuations on the bonds. If the Bank holds the bonds to maturity, so that they are not sold based on the current exit market value, any valuation gains and losses will reverse, as the bonds will settle at par. Unrealised valuation gains and losses can also relate to the interest rate hedges of the Bank’s funding and lending transactions. When the Bank raises funds with fixed rates or offers borrowers fixed rate loans, it hedges the resulting interest rate risk using swaps, in which the fixed rate is swapped to short term floating rates. The total valuation of the swap hedges and underlying transactions use different rates and is therefore exposed to spread changes between those rates. As the Bank intends to hold these hedging transactions to maturity these valuation gains and losses are expected to reverse in full. Net profit/loss on financial operation In millions of euro Personnel expenses In millions of euro TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES Total operating expenses amounted to EUR 31.9 million which is EUR 0.9 million higher than for the corresponding period in 2025. The Bank continues to invest in people and technology to remain relevant and fulfil the Bank’s mandate. The cost/income ratio for period January-June 2026 stayed low at 17.8% compared to 18.2% in the same period in 2025. The Bank’s main expenses comprise personnel costs, cost related to IT and depreciation. Personnel costs of EUR 21.1 million were EUR 0.8 million higher in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due to annual salary adjustments and a higher head count. The other operating expenses were EUR 0.1 million higher in the first six months of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

NIB Q2 INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT / 8 NET LOAN LOSSES During the first half of 2026, the Bank recorded net loan losses of EUR 6.0 million compared to a loss of EUR 5.5 million for the corresponding period in 2025. The change in expected credit losses was mainly driven by credit migrations and new loan commitments. Overall asset quality remained stable and there were no realised losses during the period. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Bank separates the foreign currency basis spread from financial instruments used in fair value hedge accounting and this separated amount is recorded in Other comprehensive income (OCI). This unrealised amount was a loss of EUR 2.7 million for the first six months of 2026 compared to a loss of EUR 7.9 million in the same period last year. The loss recorded is due to the widening of the Cross Currency Basis spreads, which negatively affect the valuation of basis swaps used to convert funding currencies into lending currencies. As the fair value hedges are kept to maturity the gains and losses in OCI are expected to reverse in full. For financial liabilities recorded at fair value through the profit and loss, valuation changes due to changes in own credit spreads are also recorded in OCI. For the six month period ended 30 June 2026, the Bank recorded unrealised losses of EUR 1.5 million from these changes compared to an unrealised loss of EUR 2.9 million in the same period in 2025. TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE INCOME All in all, NIB had 11% higher total comprehensive income in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. Total comprehensive income ended at EUR 137.0 million compared to EUR 123.5 million in the first half of 2025.

NIB Q2 INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT / 26 Note 10: Basis of preparation This interim financial report is presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as described in Note 2 Accounting policies of NIB’s Financial Report 2025. This report should be read in conjunction with NIB’s 2025 audited IFRS financial statements. During the period, The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to certain existing standards. However, none of these amendments has had a material impact on the Bank’s financial statements. Presentation and disclosures in financial statements (IFRS 18) - In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1 and is effective from 1 January 2027. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. Furthermore, entities are required to classify all income and expenses within the statement of profit or loss into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations. The standard requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures, and aggregation and disaggregation of financial information. The Bank is currently evaluating the implications of IFRS 18 on its financial statements. Based on a preliminary assessment, the new standard may result in the reclassification of certain items within the statement of profit or loss. Furthermore, disclosures of management-defined performance measures will be added. No material impacts are anticipated at this stage. There have been no material changes in the used accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions that may affect the Bank’s profits, its financial position and other information presented. Significant judgements and estimates are applied mainly to loan impairment testing and valuations of financial assets and liabilities. NIB’s business model gives rise to financial (credit, market, and liquidity) and non-financial (e.g. operational) risks which are managed through sound banking principles and practices. There have been no significant changes in the Bank’s net exposure to these risks compared to those described in Note 3 Risk management in the 2025 IFRS financial statements. For more information see section Risk Management in this report. There have been no material changes in relation to transactions with related parties compared to those described in Note 29 Related party disclosures in the 2025 IFRS financial statements. There have been no material post balance sheet events that would require disclosure or adjustment to these financial statements. KEY RATIO DEFINITIONS Equity/total assets = Total equity at reporting date Total assets at reporting date Return on equity = Annualised profit for the period Average equity for the period Cost/income = Total operating expenses for the period Total operating income for the period

NiB Q2 INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT / 28 Review Opinion To the Board of Directors of the Nordic Investment Bank Report on Review of Interim Financial Report INTRODUCTION We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim statement of financial position of the Nordic Investment Bank as of June 30, 2026 and the related condensed interim statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended and notes, comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory notes. The Board of Directors and President of the Nordic Investment Bank are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed interim financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed interim financial information based on our review. SCOPE OF REVIEW We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. CONCLUSION Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. RESTRICTION ON DISTRIBUTION AND USE Our report is intended only for the benefit of the Nordic Investment Bank’s Board of Directors and the report has been prepared in accordance with the terms of our engagement. We are responsible for our work, the report and our conclusion we have presented only to the Nordic Investment Bank, not to third parties.
