Investments with ripple effects
2022 was marked by a number of interlinked crises. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has heightened uncertainty in the global economy and added to pandemic-related problems such as trade disruption and slowing economic growth. This is reinforcing pre-existing challenges in developing countries, such as poverty, food insecurity, inflation and high debt. At the same time, climate change is continuing unabated.
Swedfund's mission is to reduce poverty through sustainable investments in developing countries. We know that every investment we make creates positive ripples, today and for the future. Read more in out Integrated Report 2022.

Even before the pandemic, it was clear that greater urgency was needed in the work to implement Agenda 2030 and the Paris Agreement. Swedfund’s Integrated Report is based on how we as a development finance institution can contribute, through sustainable investments, to the implementation of the goals for the future adopted by the UN and countries. Our mission to contribute to poverty reduction is our starting point.
