Second Quarter Results 2015
CEO Christian Clausen’s comments on the results:“After an exceptional start to the year, we saw in the second quarter a stabilisation of net interest income, a somewhat lower customer activity level in the capital markets, while the strong trend in the savings and investment operations continued, confirming the strong customer demand for our advisory expertise and products. For the first half of the year, total operating income grew 7% in local currencies, while costs in local currencies were down more than 1%, and consequently our cost to income ratio has improved more than 4%-points.
