Aktia plc Stock Exchange Release
Interim report January-September 2012
8 November 2012 at 8.00 a.m.
 

CEO Jussi Laitinen

 ”Nine months into the year, Aktia is demonstrating good results. Sales and management commissions have developed very well, and this has contributed to a considerable increase in operating income, despite the negative effects of current low interest rates. Aktia Asset Management has grown and again received excellent marks from its customers this year, something that is expected to increase sales even more. Group investments have also developed favourably during the year, which has contributed to a higher capital adequacy ratio. Cost developments continued to be relatively modest. 

Aktia is undergoing a comprehensive restructuring process over the next 2–3 years to improve its competitiveness. Aktia is well equipped to carry out this transformation, and we will continue our efforts to boost customer satisfaction.”
