Report this content

”Länsförsäkringar is growing in its entire banking business. We strengthened our market position in deposits. The loan portfolio, which largely comprises mortgages for private individuals’ homes and first-lien mortgages to the agricultural sector, continues to maintain high credit quality. The capital situation strengthened during the quarter by the bank receiving a conditional shareholders’ contribution and by the issue of a subordinated loan. Funding was successful during the period and the liquidity situation is strong”, says Rikard Josefson, President of Länsförsäkringar Bank.
