Comment on SFSA decision to close supervision case

The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, SFSA, has decided to close the ongoing supervision case against Swedbank without any measures. The supervision case, initiated in December 2015, was a result of private investments made by a few members of the former Group Executive Committee.

The SFSA decision is stated in a letter received by Swedbank:

- We welcome the fact that SFSA has made its decision, so that we can put this issue behind us. We take important lessons from this in our continued efforts to strengthen the trust for the bank, says Birgitte Bonnesen, President and CEO of Swedbank.

Since December 2015, Swedbank has taken measures to improve internal procedures.
