Each Member country shall also appoint one Alternate according to the same principles. Currently, the Director for Estonia is Merle Wilkinson and the Alternate is Märten Ross. The mandate period for the members of the current Board of Directors ends on 31 May 2024. We would therefore ask kindly that Estonia appoint a Director and an Alternate to the Board of Directors for the period 1 June 2024 to 31 May 2028. As NIB is an international financial institution, it is crucial that appointees have a relevant understanding of international financing. Considering that the Board of Directors will convene a meeting in its new composition in the first week of June, we would be grateful that the appointments be communicated to us in written form by Friday, 17 May 2024. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have regarding the appointments. Please contact me at [email protected] or on +358 50 599 4960. Kind regards, Heikki Cantell General Counsel & Secretary General Nordic Investment Bank 1(1)
