Eksfin reports to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries (MTIF). It promotes Norwegian exports by issuing guarantees on behalf of the state. The agency has been in operation since July 2012 and mainly finances oil & gas – and maritime industries. Export Finance Norway became an Equator Principles signatory in 2014.

Accountability
Grievances

Export Finance Norway does not operate a complaints or grievance mechanism for individuals or communities who might have been affected by its finance.

Stakeholders may raise complaints via the OECD National Contact Points (see OECD Watch guidance).

Export Finance Norway is an Equator Principles signatory. While the Equator Principles have no official grievance mechanism, complaints relating to this bank's financing of Equator Principles projects can be filed through our own website www.equator-complaints.org.

This page evaluates Export Finance Norway's responses to instances of alleged human rights violations linked to its finance, raised by civil society organisations. It is not intended to be exhaustive, but covers selected impacts raised by BankTrack and other civil society partners since 2016. For the full scoring methodology, see here. For more information about BankTrack's evaluation of bank responses to human rights impacts, see the 2021 report "Actions speak louder: assessing bank responses to human rights violations".
