The Danish Export and Investment Fund (EIFO) delivered a profit of DKK 1.8 billion in 2025. This means that the fund exceeds its own expectations for the year, after the half-year financial statements pointed to a result of around DKK 1 billion. The stronger result is mainly due to a solid second half of the year. At the same time, EIFO's total business volume grew in all areas and grew by DKK 8 billion to DKK 180 billion. This is stated by EIFO in a press release.
- We can be proud and satisfied with the year's result. EIFO is in a strong position and will continue to be a solid financial partner for both small and large Danish companies. Our activity has increased and the business is growing, these are good indicators that we are succeeding in our purpose – namely to make things happen together with Danish business, says Peder Lundquist, CEO of EIFO.
The demand for financing increased among small and medium-sized enterprises in 2025. Over 600 companies received loans, sureties or guarantees from EIFO, and in total the fund made DKK 3 billion available to SMEs. This corresponds to 16 percent more companies receiving financing than the year before. Activity also grew among larger companies. EIFO's financing solutions in the segment increased by over DKK 25 billion, corresponding to growth of 9 percent, driven by projects within defense, security and critical raw materials, among other things.
Dividends to the state
Green energy remains EIFO's largest business area. In 2025, the fund contributed to the financing of the East Anglia wind project in the North Sea with 95 wind turbines from Siemens Gamesa and cables from NKT. EIFO also helped secure the financing of the Tiligul project in Ukraine, which is being built with 64 Vestas wind turbines.
At the same time, EIFO's investment activity in companies and funds reached a historically high level in 2025, with total investments exceeding DKK 20 billion for the first time. The result was boosted, among other things, by developments in the global financial markets and the sale of the Danish medtech company Evosep to Nordic Capital.
As a result of the profit, EIFO pays a maximum dividend of DKK 350 million to the state, while the rest of the profit is reinvested in new financing opportunities for Danish companies.
