The bank has demonstrated growing business volumes, strengthened customer satisfaction in the latest industrywide survey, and seen strong results in the first half of 2026, and we expect the solid performance to continue with projected return on equity of 14.0%-14.5% in 2026-2028, backed by the economic recovery in Finland.
