The NRF will invest across the 7 priority areas outlined below:

It will provide finance (including loans, guarantees and equity) to drive investments that add value and develop capability.
The NRF will operate commercially to deliver a positive rate of return. It will be governed by a board who will make independent investment decisions guided by an investment mandate.
