Eksportfinans' ultimate success in completing its funding programme and preserving its investor franchise despite a host of problems provides a case study in prevailing in the face of adversity".I tillegg hedrer MTN-i at Eksportfinans/ Funding gjennomførte 3 benchmark-transaksjoner i 2008, til tross for et vanskelig marked. De skriver "The Norwegian agency raised the USD 13.5 bn it needed to meet lending demand, expanded its footprint in key debt markets (particularly the US and Asia) and re-opened the Euro benchmark bond sector".
