OMFIF’s Nordic SSA forum brings together public sector borrowers and key investors to discuss the key issues facing the Nordic market. The event convenes all of the Nordic sovereign debt management offices alongside some of the biggest public investors and central bank reserve managers in the region. The discussions will focus on diversification strategies, investor relations, the development of investor bases, liquidity and sustainable finance.

As with all of the Sovereign Debt Institute’s in-person events, the entire day will be off the record with no media in attendance to encourage participants to speak freely, stimulate authentic discussions and to shape the future of the Nordic SSA market.
