Länsförsäkringar Hypotek: Year-end report 2016
”The performance of Länsförsäkringar Hypotek has been very positive during the quarter, and we report a strong operating profit and are successively growing our share of the mortgage market. Our strong local presence and our higher customer satisfaction remain success factors in the form of increased customer inflows. We saw housing prices continue to rise during the year, although the rate of increase has gradually declined. The strong capitalization combined with the high credit quality of our mortgage portfolio results in good access to financing and low financing costs.” says Anders Borgcrantz, President of Länsförsäkringar Hypotek.
