Länsförsäkringar Hypotek: January – September 2021

Report this content

"Länsförsäkringar Hypotek continued to perform positively and we can report strong operating profit for the period. Growth in lending volumes is continuing and we are still capturing larger shares of new mortgage lending compared with our market shares, largely thanks to the outstanding work performed locally by the regional insurance companies. Loss allowances remain at very low levels and we can state that credit quality has mostly been unaffected throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. High competition remains a feature of the mortgage market, with many players capturing larger shares of new lending. The housing market performed strongly during the pandemic and the price trend has reached record-breaking levels despite a cautious price trend for a couple of months in the summer. The strong performance can partly be explained by expectations of low interest rates for a long time. The underlying problem of a poorly functioning housing market and the imbalance between supply and demand for housing remain areas for which there are no clear initiatives, but it is probably also one of the reasons behind the price increase”, says Anders Borgcrantz, President of Länsförsäkringar Hypotek.

  • Operating profit increased 3% to SEK 1,064 M (1,029) and the return on equity amounted to 8.2% (8.4).
