Why is the Scandinavian government borrowing? (none / 1)
Congratulations on getting this complex funding mechanism for the wind project to work. It's amazing!

What I don't understand is why the Scandinavian government has to borrow money from the Scandinavian bank to fund the project through its ECA. What confuses me is why the Scandinavian government could it not just fund the project directly (print money) without borrowing its own currency?
