Jens Henriksson, President and CEO
Swedbank stands strong in a turbulent time. The war in Ukraine, the pandemic and high inflation are all impacting the global economy. Interest rates have risen and stock markets have fallen. Central banks are tightening policies by raising interest rates and reducing asset purchases in order to anchor inflation expectations at the right level. Economic growth is expected to slow this autumn before stabilising at a lower level.
In this environment, our home markets stand on a stable foundation with strong government finances, financially stable households and companies, and limited ties to the Russian economy.
From a position of strength, we at Swedbank can help our customers to manage the high energy prices, commodity shortages and supply chain bottlenecks. We offer advice and financing, and customers are again earning interest on their savings accounts. We empower the many people and businesses to create a better future.
Swedbank is a sustainably profitable bank. The result for the second quarter was strong with the second-highest net interest income to date and profit of SEK 4.7bn. Net interest income was positively affected by rising interest rates, consistently high deposits as well as good and stable lending growth. Net commission income was stable due to higher card income. Expenses rose according to plan. The cost cap for 2022 of SEK 20.5bn with a further SEK 500m for investigations related to our historical shortcomings, are unchanged.
On 1 July, Fitch upgraded Swedbank's rating from A+ to AA-. The upgrade reflected the broad-based transformation of Swedbank's corporate culture, regulatory compliance, organisation and risk control.
Credit quality is good and credit impairments are low. Our liquidity position is strong, and we have a sizeable buffer of 4.6 percentage points relative to the Swedish FSA's capital requirement. The return on equity rose to 12.0 per cent. By the end of the year, we will present our plan on how we can reach our 15 per cent target.
The mortgage business is showing strength. We remain a leader in all four home markets. With thorough and conservative origination standards, mortgages grew by SEK 15bn in the quarter. But with higher interest rates and increased uncertainty, we now see that it is taking longer for buyers and sellers to close transactions in Sweden. House prices in the Swedish market fell somewhat from high levels, but in the Baltic countries they continued to rise.
In our corporate business, we provide the advice and funding that corporate clients want in a time of rapid economic change. We have an exposure to Swedish property companies in line with our strategy and risk appetite. We are confident in our lending, which has been consistently focused on sound and sustainable business models and good collateral.
Our green portfolio amounts to SEK 53bn and grew by 14 per cent in the quarter, driven by new lending and reclassifications of existing loans. We realise that Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania stand at a crossroads when it comes to energy. There Swedbank is financing among other things liquefied gas to replace imports from Russia as well as renovations for energy-efficient housing in Lithuania. Moreover, people are now investing in solar energy to a growing extent. In May, lending in the Baltic countries for such investments was three times higher than the same month in 2021, and it is rising in Sweden.
Ahead of the new sustainability regulations that take effect in August, we have trained 3 900 personal advisors to help customers understand how their investment choices affect and contribute to a sustainable society.
We have entered a strategic partnership with Norway's largest savings bank, SpareBank 1 SR-Bank. This is a step towards increasing the focus on sustainable growth, customer value and a higher return on equity – in line with Swedbank's strategic direction. At the same time, efforts are underway to improve customer satisfaction in the corporate business with a new organisation and delivery model where we maximise our expertise and resources to grow the entire Group.
Government payments are an important business. Swedbank is pleased to continue the collaboration with the Swedish National Debt Office, which signed a new framework agreement on payment services comprising around 180 million transactions and SEK 8 000bn in transaction volumes per year.
Cybersecurity is a priority given that the war continues to impact us, our customers and society. We are well prepared, and it is positive that a number of initiatives are underway to help the private and public sectors more closely cooperate on financial stability.
Our vision of a financially sound and sustainable society lives on in our social engagement. We focus in all our home markets on informing private customers about the importance of a buffer and how rising inflation affects their personal finances.
During the quarter, we helped more than 23 000 Ukrainian refugees mostly in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, but also in Sweden, to adjust to society by becoming customers of Swedbank.
Together with the savings banks, we are a proud sponsor of Junior Achievement in Sweden, and it was gratifying to see the strong engagement and focus on sustainability in this in this year's nationwide competition.
In these tumultuous times, Swedbank is well equipped to support customers through advice and financing to meet challenges and seize on opportunities.
Our customers' future is Swedbank's focus.

The global outlook grew more uncertain in the second quarter. Rising inflation and central bank tightening policies, together with the effects of the war in Ukraine and sweeping Covid-related shutdowns in China, are impeding global growth. Higher energy, commodity and food prices are adding to the already high inflation, which is biting into consumer purchasing power and reducing consumption. Rising interest rates are also affecting the willingness of companies to invest. Inflation in many countries is higher than it has been in decades.
Several central banks, including the Riksbank, the Federal Reserve and the ECB, have signalled that monetary policy has to be tightened rapidly to check the high inflation, which has reduced the risk appetite in the financial markets. The war in Ukraine and concerns about an economic slowdown also impact market sentiment. Equity prices continued to fall in the quarter and interest rates to rise, while the dollar remained strong. Oil prices were at historically high levels.
The Riksbank has launched a monetary policy shift. After announcing as recently as February that its policy rate would not be raised before the second half of 2024, the Riksbank raised it to 0.25 per cent in April, followed by a 0.50 percentage points increase in June. Furthermore, asset purchases will be reduced beginning in the second half of 2022. Swedbank's macroeconomists are forecasting that the Riksbank will continue to raise rates until it reaches 1.75 per cent in February 2023.
Sweden's GDP fell in the first quarter and the GDP forecast for 2022 has been revised downwards. Data indicate a slight recovery in the second quarter, but growth is expected to fall in the coming months. Inflation rose to more than 8 per cent, which is affecting consumer purchasing power and consumption. High household savings of nearly 17 percent of disposable income provide a shock absorber, however. The labour market remains stable and unemployment is expected to continue to drop, although labour mismatch problems could have an offsetting effect.
The latest data from Valueguard show that the Swedish housing market has slowed and prices have dropped somewhat. Higher mortgage rates and lower purchasing power will probably continue to have a negative impact on house prices. The number of property sales decreased in the quarter compared with 2021 and Swedbank's macroeconomists expect further weakness this year.
In the Baltic countries, growth was strong in the first quarter, mainly driven by consumption and exports. It is expected to slow for the rest of the year due to lower domestic demand and a less favourable export outlook. Despite rapid wage growth, consumer purchasing power is being eroded by the high inflation, which is largely imported (energy and food) but has broadened lately. There is a growing risk that it could persist. Data indicate that house prices continued to rise in the quarter at a rapid rate due to limited supply and strong demand. On the other hand, higher mortgage rates and declining real wages will probably slow this trend going forward.
The interim report contains alternative performance measures that Swedbank considers valuable information for the reader, since they are used by the executive management for internal governance and performance measurement as well as for comparisons between reporting periods. Further information on the alternative performance measures used in the interim report can be found on page 57.
Swedbank's profit increased to SEK 4 710m (4 617) due to higher income and lower credit impairments, partly offset by higher expenses. Foreign exchange effects marginally affected profit before impairment, the Swedish bank tax and resolution fund fees.
The return on equity was 12.0 per cent (11.4) and the cost/income ratio was 0.45 (0.44).
Income increased to SEK 11 612m (11 455). Net interest income increased, while other income and net gains and losses on financial items decreased. Foreign exchange effects marginally affected income.
Net interest income increased by 5 per cent to SEK 7 113m (6 762). Underlying net interest income was positively affected by higher lending volumes. Higher deposit margins caused by higher market interest rates also contributed but were partly offset by lower lending margins. The last payment from the European Central Bank's liquidity loans was unchanged from the previous quarter. An extra day in the quarter contributed positively.
Net commission income decreased by 1 per cent to SEK 3 551m (3 581). Income from asset management decreased due to the downturn in the capital markets. Income from payment services decreased and price adjustments of endowment insurance policies had a negative effect of approximately SEK 30m. Card income increased after the pandemic restrictions were lifted in the first quarter and due to positive seasonal effects. Income from corporate finance increased after a slower first quarter.
Net gains and losses on financial items decreased to SEK 57m (122). In Large Corporates & Institutions, profit decreased mainly due to the challenging capital market, which led to a drop in the market valuations of the trading portfolio of bonds where Swedbank is a market maker. The SEK 1bn divestment of the Danish mortgage portfolio negatively affected Swedish Banking by SEK 54m. Group Treasury's net gains and losses on financial items increased mainly due to bond repurchases.
Other income decreased by 10 per cent to SEK 891m (990). Insurance provisions dissolved in the previous quarter had a positive effect of SEK 115m. Entercard's profit decreased by SEK 32m due to higher provisions for expected credit losses.
Expenses increased by 3 per cent to SEK 5 248m (5 087). Staff costs increased due to salary increases mainly in the Baltic countries and more employees. Other expenses were seasonally higher. AML-related investigation expenses increased to SEK 92m (55). Foreign exchange effects had a marginal effect.
Credit impairments amounted to SEK 40m (158) in the quarter. Within Swedish Banking, deteriorating macroeconomic scenarios as well as ratings and stage migrations had a negative effect. Within Baltic Banking, negative ratings changes for recoveries of previous expert credit adjustments had an offsetting effect. Within Large Corporates & Institutions, individually assessed provisions decreased due to revalued collateral from counterparties in the oil and offshore sector. Due to the prevailing macroeconomic uncertainty, the majority of previous expert credit adjustments were unchanged.

The tax expense amounted to SEK 1 144m (1 137), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 19.5 per cent (19.8). The lower effective tax rate in the quarter is largely due to a refund of previously paid tax after audits by the Swedish and Danish tax authorities.
Swedbank's profit decreased to SEK 9 327m (10 538) due to lower income and higher expenses. The introduction of the bank tax and higher resolution fund fees also had a negative effect. Foreign exchange effects positively affected profit before impairment, the Swedish bank tax and resolution fees by approximately SEK 79m.
The return on equity was 11.6 per cent (13.5) and the cost/income ratio was 0.45 (0.42).
Income decreased to SEK 23 067m (23 673) and was negatively affected by net gains and losses on financial items. Net interest income and net commission income increased while other income fell slightly. Foreign exchange effects increased income by approximately SEK 192m.
Net interest income increased by 3 per cent to SEK 13 875m (13 514). The underlying result was bolstered by volume growth and a higher aggregate margin on deposits and lending. This was offset by a positive retroactive change in the deposit guarantee.
Net commission income increased by 1 per cent to SEK 7 132m (7 034). Income increased primarily from cards but was offset by lower income from asset management following this year's downturn in the capital markets.
Net gains and losses on financial items decreased to SEK 179m (1 230) due to negative effects from the revaluation of the trading portfolio within Large Corporates & Institutions. Within Group Treasury, negative valuation changes in derivatives and the
liquidity portfolio had an effect but will be largely reversed over time. A positive valuation effect in 2021 in connection with Hemnet's IPO also contributed to the decrease.
Other income decreased by 1 per cent to SEK 1 881m (1 895).
Expenses increased to SEK 10 335m (9 963) mainly as a result of higher staff costs and IT expenses. AMLrelated investigation expenses were lower than in 2021 at SEK 147m. Foreign exchange effects raised expenses by approximately SEK 113m.
Credit impairments amounted to SEK 198m (219) and are mainly explained by updated macroeconomic scenarios and negative ratings and stage changes. The increase in credit impairments in the first half of 2021 was mainly due to pandemic-related expert credit adjustments within Baltic Banking.
The bank tax came into force on 1 January 2022 and is estimated at just under SEK 1bn for the full year.
The tax expense amounted to SEK 2 281m (2 496), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 19.7 per cent (19.1). The higher effective tax rate this year is largely due to a lower share of tax-exempt income in associated companies and joint ventures. The Group's effective tax rate is still estimated at 19-21 per cent in the medium term.
Swedbank's main business is organised in product areas for lending, deposits, fund savings and life insurance, and payments.
Total lending to the public, excluding repos and lending to the Swedish National Debt Office, increased by SEK 43bn to SEK 1 768bn (1 725) compared with the first quarter 2022. Compared with the second quarter 2021 lending increased by SEK 131bn or 8 per cent. Foreign exchange effects positively affected lending volumes by approximately SEK 10bn compared with the first quarter 2022 and by SEK 19bn compared with the second quarter 2021.

Corporate lending increased by SEK 25bn in the quarter to SEK 604bn (579). In Sweden, the market share was 16 per cent (16).
Swedbank's green asset portfolio continued to grow, largely through the reclassification of existing assets. Loans for low-emission cars and new energy-efficient properties have been included in the portfolio.

Assets under management in Swedbank Robur fell by 11 per cent in the quarter to SEK 1 248bn (1 398), of which SEK 1 178bn (1 324) related to Sweden, SEK 68bn (72) to the Baltic countries and SEK 2bn (3) to other markets. The decrease is mainly due to the market downturn.
Swedbank Robur's Russia fund has been closed for trading since the previous quarter. During the quarter, the Swedish Pensions Agency deregistered all Russia funds from its marketplace, including the Swedbank Robur Russia fund.

1) During the first quarter of 2022, a reclassification of Discretionary asset management was made in accordance with a renewed agreement from 1 January 2022. Comparative figures have been recalculated.
The net flow in the Swedish fund market amounted to SEK -4bn (-35). The largest outflow was from fixed income funds at SEK-11bn, while active equity funds had outflows of SEK -7bn. Other fund categories had inflows: SEK 9bn to hedge funds, SEK 3bn to index funds and SEK 2bn to other funds. Mixed funds were unchanged.
During the quarter, Swedbank Robur had a net flow of SEK 0bn (-7) in Sweden. The savings banks and third party distributors had inflows, while Swedish Banking, the Swedish Pensions Agency and institutional clients had outflows.
Swedbank Robur published its annual Climate Report in the quarter. The report is produced in accordance with Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TFCD) and Net Zero Asset Manager. A majority of the fund company's actively managed equity funds again outperformed their respective indices in terms of carbon emissions in 2021. New targets were set for climate work and a new dark green fund focusing on the climate transition (Climate Impact) was launched.
During the quarter, Swedbank Robur helped to put together a guide as part of the Finance for Biodiversity Pledge. The guide is designed for investors to use in influencing companies on biodiversity issues.
Net flows in the Baltic countries were unchanged at SEK 1bn (1) in the quarter.
By assets under management, Swedbank Robur is the leader in the Swedish and Baltic fund markets. As of 30 June, the market share in Sweden was 20 per cent. The market shares in Estonia and Lithuania were 38 per cent, respectively, and in Latvia 41 per cent.
In life insurance, assets under management in the Swedish operations decreased by 10 per cent in the quarter to SEK 272bn as of 30 June. Premium income, consisting of premium payments and capital transfers, amounted to SEK 6bn (10) in the quarter.

For premium income excluding capital transfers, Swedbank's market share in Sweden in the first quarter was 6 per cent (7). In the transfer market, Swedbank's market share in the first quarter was 9 per cent (9).
In Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Swedbank is the largest life insurance company. The market shares for premium payments in the first five months of the year were 49 per cent in Estonia, 25 per cent in Latvia and 24 per cent in Lithuania.
The total number of Swedbank cards in issue at the end of the quarter was 8.2 million, in line with the end of the previous quarter. In Sweden, 4.4 million cards were in issue and in the Baltic countries 3.8 million. Compared with the same quarter in 2021 corporate card issuance in Sweden grew by 2 per cent and private card issuance by 1 per cent. Compared with the same quarter in 2021 corporate card issuance in the Baltic countries grew by 1 per cent and private card issuance by 1 per cent.

The number of purchases with Swedbank cards increased in Sweden by 17 per cent compared with the same quarter in 2021. A total of 373 million card purchases were made, positively affected by the lifting of restrictions. In the Baltic countries, the number of card purchases grew by 21 per cent in the same period to 216 million, also due to the easing of restrictions.
The number of card transactions acquired by Swedbank increased by 9 per cent compared with the same quarter in 2021. In Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark, 767 million card transactions were acquired, up 7 per cent from the same quarter in 2021. In the Baltic countries, the corresponding figure was 149 million, up 22 per cent.
Card transactions acquired in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark amounted to SEK 223bn, an increase of 11 per cent compared with the equivalent period in 2021. Transaction volumes in the Baltic countries amounted to SEK 29bn, an increase of 32 per cent.
The lifting of restrictions in the Nordic and Baltic countries contributed to a strong recovery compared with the equivalent period in 2021. Higher prices of consumer staples and petrol raised transaction volumes in these sectors by 6 per cent and 36 per cent respectively. Other sectors that also contributed to the recovery are restaurants, hotels, travel and transport.
In Sweden, there were 225 million domestic payments in the second quarter, an increase of 3 per cent compared with the equivalent period in 2021. In the Baltic countries, 108 million domestic payments were
processed, up 14 per cent compared with the same period in 2021. Swedbank's market share of payments through the Bankgiro system was 34 per cent. The number of international payments in Sweden increased by 9 per cent compared with the same quarter in 2021 to 1.7 million. In the Baltic countries, international payments increased by 32 per cent to 6 million.
Swedbank's credit quality is good and the development in the quarter was stable. The macroeconomic outlook weakened, however. Swedbank's lending to property management companies, which accounts for approximately 16 per cent of the total loan portfolio, is well positioned with stable cash flows and long-term repayment capacity as key lending factors. Swedbank's lending to this sector is highly collateralised and the average loan-to-value ratio for the bank's exposures in Sweden was 54 per cent, unchanged from the previous quarter.
The quality of Swedbank's mortgage portfolio, which accounts for just over half of total lending, is high and historically credit impairments have been very low. The development during the quarter was stable and the number of customers with late payments remained low. Customers' long-term repayment capacity is a critical lending factor, which leads to low risks for both the customer and the bank. The average loan-to-value ratios in the mortgage portfolio were 51 per cent in Sweden, 42 per cent in Estonia, 68 per cent in Latvia and 50 per cent in Lithuania.
The sectors considered most vulnerable to increases in energy and commodity costs and lower demand are manufacturing, transport, construction, retail, and hotels and restaurants. These sectors were also affected by the pandemic, and some companies that have not yet recovered could be especially hard hit. Swedbank's lending to these sectors accounts for approximately 6 per cent of the total loan portfolio.
Swedbank's oil and offshore lending is limited and the restructuring of the portfolio is continuing. While high oil and gas prices and the need to reduce the dependency on Russian energy have improved the investment climate in the oil and offshore industry, the global energy transition creates transition risks and uncertainty in the short and long terms.
Provisions for potential future declines in credit quality in the form of expert credit adjustments amounted to SEK 1 671m as of 30 June 2022 (1 715). The decrease in expert credit adjustments in Baltic Banking is because customers affected by the war in Ukraine have been assigned lower risk classes and thereby higher modelbased provisions.
The total share of loans in stage 2, gross, decreased to 5.1 per cent (5.5), of which 3.7 per cent (3.7) was for personal loans and 8.0 per cent (9.4) for corporate loans, mainly because a few customers in real estate management were transferred from stage 2 to stage 1. In Baltic Banking, the share of corporate loans in stage 2 increased mainly because a few customers in manufacturing were negatively affected by the war in Ukraine.
The share of loans in stage 3, gross, decreased to 0.32 per cent (0.34) due to decreases in corporate loans. The provision ratio for loans in stage 3 was 35 per cent (36).
For more information on credit exposures and credit quality, see notes 9 and 11-13 and pages 39-50 of the Fact book.
The funding markets were marred in the quarter by geopolitical concerns, rising interest rates and inflation, in addition to expectations of further central bank rate hikes. Bond yields rose significantly and market volatility was high. The short-term USD funding market was affected by uncertainty about what the Federal Reserve might do. As a result, investors chose to retain liquidity or invest in shorter maturities than normal.
Swedbank's very strong liquidity position enables it to choose the right time to issue bonds when the market is favourable. In the quarter, long-term debt issuance amounted to SEK 31bn.
As of 30 June, Swedbank's short-term funding (commercial paper) in issue amounted to SEK 303bn (231). Available cash and balances with central banks and reserves with the Swedish National Debt Office amounted to SEK 437bn (424) and the liquidity reserve amounted to SEK 619bn (605). The Group's liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was 140 per cent (166) and for USD, EUR and SEK was 167, 191 and 101 per cent respectively. The net stable funding ratio (NSFR) was 119 per cent (122).
The total issuance need for the full-year 2022 is expected to be in line with issuance volumes in 2021, with a continued focus on senior unsecured bonds and senior non-preferred liabilities to meet MREL requirements. Demand for the bank's financing is affected by the current liquidity situation, future maturities and changes in deposit and lending volumes, and is therefore adjusted over the course of the year. Maturities in 2022 amount to SEK 173bn calculated from the beginning of the year, of which SEK 43bn matures in the second half of 2022.
For more information on funding and liquidity, see notes 15-17 and pages 55–66 of the Fact book.
There were no changes to Swedbank's ratings in the second quarter. On 1 July, Fitch upgraded Swedbank's long-term rating from A+ to AA- with a stable outlook. On 15 July, S&P upgraded Swedbank's ESG rating from 75 to 76. For more information, see the section Events after 30 June 2022.
For more information on Swedbank's ratings, see page 67 of the Fact book.
IT and information security risks have remained a priority due to the war in Ukraine. Swedbank's capacity to manage these risks is good and we were not affected during the quarter despite the increasing number of IT attacks against the financial industry.
In April, Swedbank experienced a serious IT incident in connection with a system update. The incident caused incorrect balances in customers' accounts and subsequent payment problems while also affecting the
availability of the bank's services. Swedbank takes what occurred seriously and has taken extensive action to prevent similar events from occurring. The Swedish FSA after the end of the quarter launched an investigation related to the incident. For more information, see the section Events after 30 June 2022.
In manly the Baltic countries, many refugees from Ukraine have become customers of the bank, which has meant increased activity in the bank's Know-Your-Customer process.
Pandemic-related risks decreased compared with the previous quarter, although the number of Covid cases rose slightly at the end of the quarter. New working models were established during the pandemic in line with the Public Health Agency of Sweden's recommendations. The number of employees who work remotely remained stable in the quarter.
The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 18.3 per cent (18.3) at the end of the quarter. The total Common Equity Tier 1 capital requirement, including Pillar 2 guidance, was 13.7 per cent (13.7) of the Risk Exposure Amount (REA), which resulted in a Common Equity Tier 1 capital buffer of 4.6 per cent (4.6). Common Equity Tier 1 capital increased to SEK 135.9bn (132.6) and was mainly affected by the quarterly profit and proposed dividend.

1 Refers to Swedbank consolidated situation
Total REA increased to SEK 743.8bn (724.5) in the second quarter.
REA for credit risk increased due to higher lending and FX effects. The increase was offset mainly by improved collateral, higher ratings and shorter maturities on corporate exposures.
REA for market risk decreased through a lower REA for the specific interest rate risk, which was partly offset by an increase in REA for internal models. REA for CVA decreased mainly due to lower average EAD-weighted maturities and less EAD variance in the counterparty portfolio.
REA for article 3 of the EU's Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) resulted in an increase of SEK 1.6bn largely due to a change in the exposure volume for large corporates.
Change in REA1

1Refers to Swedbank consolidated situation
The leverage ratio was 5.2 per cent (5.1) and exceeded the leverage ratio requirement including Pillar 2 guidance of 3.45 per cent, largely due to higher total assets and higher Tier 1 capital.
In the second quarter 2022, the Swedish FSA decided to raise the countercyclical buffer in Sweden to 2 per cent of risk-weighted assets as of the second quarter 2023. In the third quarter 2022, the countercyclical buffer will be raised to 1 per cent. In connection with the pandemic, the countercyclical buffer was reduced from 2.5 per cent to 0 per cent. The Swedish FSA assesses the buffer rate's neutral level at 2 per cent.
Swedbank had earlier submitted updated internal risk classification models to the Swedish FSA for evaluation and approval. This aligns with the updated guidelines from the European Banking Authority (EBA) on banks' internal risk classification systems. The approval process has been delayed and is now expected to be completed later this year and early next year. Swedbank's risk-weighted assets will probably increase as a result.
The new Resolution Act, which entered into force in 2021, gradually phases in the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) until 1 January 2024. The new law is based on the EU's Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD II). For Swedbank, application of MREL will increase the aggregate need for senior unsecured bonds and senior non-preferred liabilities.
As proposed, the EU Commission's proposal to finalise Basel III, also called Basel IV, would be introduced in stages in 2025–2030. The actions include revisions of the standardised approaches and internal models used to calculate the capital requirements for credit, market and operational risk. A capital requirement floor was introduced for internal models where the risk-weighted assets may not fall below 72.5 per cent of the amount
calculated using the standardised approach. Temporary exemptions would apply through 2032. In the next stage, the proposal will be negotiated by the European Council and the EU Parliament. The ultimate impact on Swedbank's capital situation is currently hard to assess.
In the previous quarter, Swedbank AS was informed by the Estonian Prosecutor's Office of suspected money laundering in 2014–2016. The criminal investigation originates from the Estonian FSA's previous investigation of Swedbank AS in 2019. The maximum fine for the suspected crime is EUR 16m.
The U.S. authorities continue to investigate Swedbank's historical anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing work and historical information disclosures. The investigations, which are being conducted by the Department of Justice (DoJ), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and Department of Financial Services in New York (DFS), are continuing and the bank is holding individual discussions with the authorities through its U.S. legal advisors. The investigations are at different stages and the bank cannot at this time determine any financial consequences or when the investigations will be completed.
On 7 April, Swedbank joined the Haga Initiative, a business network that strives to reduce the business sector's climate impact.
On 1 July, Fitch upgraded Swedbank's Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to AA- from A+ with a stable outlook. Fitch pointed out that Swedbank has addressed the historical shortcomings identified at its Estonian subsidiary and largely concluded a broad transformation of its corporate culture, compliance, organisational structure and risk control.
On 1 July, Swedbank received a claim of SEK 4bn from the Swedish Pensions Agency related to Swedbank's historical role as custodian bank for the fund Optimus High Yield in 2012-2015. The claim was not preceded by any correspondence or information to the bank from the Swedish Pensions Agency. Swedbank has not made any accounting provisions related to the claim.
On 6 July, the Swedish FSA launched an investigation as to whether Swedbank had followed the appropriate laws, regulations, internal routines and processes in connection with the IT incident that occurred on 28-29 April.
On 15 July, S&P upgraded Swedbank's ESG rating from 75 to 76 due to improved corporate governance.

Profit decreased by 2 per cent to SEK 2 923m (2 991). Stable income and expenses were offset by increased credit impairments.
Net interest income increased by 8 per cent to SEK 4 224m (3 924). Higher deposit margins due to increased market interest rates had a positive effect but were partly offset by lower lending margins.
Household mortgage volumes increased by SEK 10bn to SEK 911bn (901). Underlying growth was SEK 11bn, but the sale of the Danish mortgage portfolio negatively affected volumes by SEK 1bn. Lending to tenant-owner associations was unchanged at SEK 92bn (92). Customer transfers to Large Corporates & Institutions negatively affected lending to tenant-owner associations by SEK 1bn.
Corporate lending increased by SEK 2bn to SEK 239bn (237). Customer transfers to Large Corporates & Institutions negatively affected corporate volumes by SEK 2bn, mainly within property management.
Deposit volumes increased by SEK 24bn to SEK 740bn (716), of which household deposits increased by SEK 18bn and corporate deposits by SEK 7bn.
Net commission income decreased by 4 per cent to SEK 2 163m (2 247) mainly due to lower income from asset management and a price adjustment of endowment insurance policies, which had a negative effect of approximately SEK 30m. This was partly offset by higher card income.
Net gains and losses on financial items decreased to SEK 46m (88) due to the sale of the Danish mortgage portfolio.
Other income decreased to SEK 346m (491) mainly due to lower net insurance. The previous quarter was positively affected by a revised calculation method for provisions.
Expenses increased to SEK 2 699m (2 666) largely due to higher compliance-related expenses.
Credit impairments amounted to SEK 147m (85) mainly due to worsening macroeconomic scenarios and negative ratings and stage changes.
Profit decreased by 11 per cent to SEK 5 914m (6 635). Stable income was offset by slightly higher expenses, increased credit impairments and the introduction of the bank tax.
Net interest income increased by 3 per cent to SEK 8 148m (7 936) mainly due to higher deposit margins caused by higher market interest rates. This was partly offset by lower lending margins and a higher deposit guarantee fee.
Net commission income was stable at SEK 4 410m (4 405). Lower asset management income was offset mainly by higher card income.
Net gains and losses on financial items decreased to SEK 134bn (337) due to a positive valuation effect in 2021 in connection with Hemnet's IPO and a negative valuation effect this year from the sale of the Danish mortgage portfolio.
Other income decreased to SEK 837m (981) mainly driven by lower income from Entercard and partly owned savings banks.
Expenses increased by 2 per cent to SEK 5 365m (5 278) mainly due to increased compliance-related expenses.
Credit impairments amounted to SEK 232m (-27).
Mortgage growth remained strong in the quarter thanks to a highly active housing market at the beginning of the year. The market itself slowed in the quarter against the backdrop of higher interest rates and increased economic uncertainty. House prices began falling somewhat in May. Swedbank was the market leader in new mortgage sales. Like many other mortgage lenders, Swedbank raised its rates in the quarter, mainly for longer loans, as a result of the big rise in market interest rates. Consequently, customers have increasingly chosen variable rates rather than tie up their loans for long periods. The interest rates on savings accounts were also raised somewhat.
The rapidly rising inflation and turbulent equity and fixed income markets have led to continued high demand for financial advice, which we provided. While we are seeing an increase in monthly contributions to funds, some customers chose in the quarter to reallocate from funds to savings accounts due to the weak stock market.
In connection with an update of the IT system, many customers received incorrect account balances. Besides the inconvenience, the error resulted in a high call volume for the telephone bank with longer waiting times. We are working continuously to ensure that the bank's systems always work optimally. Availability and personalised offerings remain priority areas. During the quarter, we also continued to give advice to refugees from Ukraine who want to or have become customers of the bank.
The corporate market continued to perform well with rising lending volumes, at the same time that customer demand for advice increased due to the rapid changes in the marketplace. We have maintained a close dialogue with agricultural customers, and to support them we launched a specialised liquidity loan in the quarter.
Our corporate customers gained access to Open Banking in the quarter, allowing them to choose to share information between their bank and other firms. This is part of the work we are doing to help customers more easily do their banking digitally.
During the spring, our work on sustainability further intensified. Among other things, training was provided to advisors on sustainability aspects in connection with investment advice ahead of the new regulations that enter into force in August. Around half of the advisors – 1 500 employees – have completed the training to date. We have also introduced improvements to the sustainability analysis for corporate customers – to provide better advice and to improve the lending process.
As part of our social engagement, we met 16 000 children and young adults through our lecture series Young Economy to create a sound, long-term understanding of their personal finances. Swedbank also sponsors Junior Achievement in Sweden, and it was gratifying to see the strong commitment to sustainability in this year's nationwide competition. We have also met with 1 300 customers as part of Digital Economy, an initiative designed to fight digital exclusion.

Net interest income increased by 9 per cent to SEK 1 123m (1 026) mainly due to higher lending volumes and customer transfers from Swedish Banking. Deposit margins also increased in the quarter.
Net commission income increased by 10 per cent to SEK 725m (659) mainly due to higher advisory commissions related to M&A and equity issuance as well as increased income from bond issuance. Income from cards also contributed positively.
Net gains and losses on financial items decreased to SEK 133m (245). A challenging capital market reduced the market valuations of the trading portfolio of bonds where Swedbank is a liquidity guarantor. Income from fixed income and equity trading also decreased, while FX trading and derivative valuation adjustments (CVA/DVA) contributed positively.
Expenses increased to SEK 1 047m (1 023) after expenses for IT and consultants were seasonally low in the first quarter. Expenses tied to customer activities increased as well.
Credit impairments amounted to SEK -115m (77). Individually assessed provisions due to revalued collateral for counterparties in the oil and offshore sector decreased.

Net gains and losses on financial items decreased to SEK 378m (619) mainly due to negative effects from corporate bond revaluations. High customer activity in fixed income and FX trading as well as positive effects from derivative value adjustments (DVA) contributed positively.
Expenses increased by 2 per cent to SEK 2 070m (2 032) mainly due to annual salary increases and expenses tied to additional customer activities.
Credit impairments amounted to SEK -38m (51).
The capital market was distinguished in the quarter by rapidly rising interest rates and higher credit spreads. Demand for corporate lending remained high for both new lending and credit lines as the bond market was less attractive than previously. Swedbank mainly provided loans to core customers in real estate, retail and manufacturing. Lending mainly consisted of refinancing and bridge loans. Sustainability-linked loans remained a priority, and Swedbank led the syndication of a such a loan to SSAB.
Despite the market turbulence, Swedbank assisted its corporate and institutional clients with bond issuance in several sectors and countries. The bank helped among others the property companies Hemsö, Heimstaden and Vasakronan in their bond issuance. Swedbank also served as advisor to Stockholm Exergi, Latvenergo and EPSO-G in the energy sector, and the forest products company UPM Kymmene and logistics company Wallenius Wilhelmsen. Swedbank also assisted several Swedish municipalities and savings banks with their bond issuance. Generally, investors continued to focus on issuers with low risk, while interest in high-yield bonds was subdued.
Activity in the stock market was low due to volatility. Swedbank advised among others the property company Emilshus on its IPO and, together with Kepler Cheuvreux, advised Media and Games Invest in connection with its share issue.
As part of an effort to refocus the corporate business and improve efficiencies, Swedbank entered a strategic partnership with Norway's largest savings bank, SpareBank 1 SR-Bank, in the quarter. The partnership covers among other things products and loan syndications in Norway and Sweden with a focus on sustainability, renewable energy and Norwegian-Swedish industrial collaboration.
In connection with this, a loan portfolio of approximately NOK 5.6bn will be divested to SpareBank 1 SR-Bank. The Norwegian High Yield and ECM operations will also be sold to SpareBank 1 Markets, where SpareBank 1 SR-Bank is part-owner. The collaboration with Sparebank 1 SR-Bank and new distribution agreement with Sparebank 1 Markets benefit Swedish corporate clients through improved services. Additionally, Swedbank's operations in Norway will be more efficient and better focused. The changes are subject to regulatory approval.
Swedbank renewed framework agreements with the Swedish National Debt Office as the only bank to provide payment services and card acquisitions for government authorities. The agreements comprise around 180 million transactions and SEK 8 000bn in volumes per year and applies from August 2022 to July 2026 with the right to an extension for one plus one year.

For January – June 2022 a gain of SEK 2 590m (1 880) was recognised in other comprehensive income, relating to remeasurements of defined benefit pension plans. As per 30 June 2022 the discount rate used to calculate the closing pension obligation was 4.09 per cent, compared with 2.10 per cent per 31 December 2021. The inflation assumption was 2.69 per cent compared with 2.30 per cent per 31 December 2021. The changed assumptions together with gains and losses based on experience represented SEK 6 282m of the positive result in other comprehensive income. The fair value of plan assets decreased during January – June 2022 by SEK 3 692m. In total at end of June 2022, the fair value of plan assets exceeded the obligation for defined benefit pension plans by SEK 880m. At last year end, the obligation for
defined benefit plans exceeded the fair value of plan assets by SEK 1 801m.
For January – June 2022 an exchange rate difference of SEK 2 316m (263) was recognised for the Group's foreign net investments in subsidiaries. The gain related to subsidiaries mainly arose because the Swedish krona weakened against the euro during the period. In addition, an exchange rate difference of SEK 16m (69) for the Group's foreign net investments in associates and joint ventures is included in Share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures. The total gain of SEK 2 332m is not taxable. The large part of the Group's foreign net investments is hedged against currency risk resulting in a loss of SEK 1 835m (239) for the hedging instruments.

The operating segment report is based on Swedbank's accounting policies, organisation and management accounts. Market-based transfer prices are applied between operating segments, while all expenses for Group functions and Group staff are transfer priced at cost to the operating segments. Cross-border transfer pricing is applied according to OECD transfer pricing guidelines.
The Group's equity attributable to shareholders is allocated to each operating segment based on capital adequacy rules and estimated capital
requirements based on the bank's Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP).
The return on allocated equity for the operating segments is calculated based on profit for the period attributable to the shareholders for the operating segment, in relation to average monthly allocated equity for the operating segment. For periods shorter than one year the key ratio is annualised.
During the first quarter of 2022, minor changes between Swedbank's operating segments were made to coincide with organisational changes. Comparative figures have been restated.
1) Presentation of the Income statement has been changed, see note 28.
2) Derivatives include net interest income related to hedged assets and liabilities. These may have both a positive and negative impact on interest income and interest expense.

During 2021, the Group reduced its gross exposure in the Shipping and offshore sector through sales and restructuring, resulting in write offs of the gross exposures. The majority of the Stage 3 exposures that were written off were previously provisioned.
The measurement of expected credit losses is described in Note G3.1 Credit risks on pages 80-85 of the 2021 Annual and Sustainability Report. There have been no significant changes during the year to the methodology.
The war in Ukraine has exacerbated many of the weaknesses and imbalances in the economy that arose during the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly in relation to supply chain disruptions, shortages of input goods and significantly higher energy prices. Other implications include higher inflation and earlier than anticipated interest rate hikes. As the quantitative risk models do not yet reflect all potential deteriorations in credit quality, post-model adjustments to increase the credit impairment provisions continue to be deemed necessary.
The post-model expert credit adjustments decreased to SEK 1 671m (SEK 1 796m as of 31 December 2021) and are allocated as SEK 977m in stage 1, SEK 693m in stage 2 and SEK 1m in stage 3. Customers and industries have been reviewed and analysed considering the current situation, particularly in more vulnerable sectors. The most significant post-model adjustments are in the Shipping and offshore, Manufacturing, Retail and wholesale, Property management and Construction sectors.
The tables below show the quantitative thresholds used by the Group for assessing a significant increase in credit risk, namely:
These thresholds reflect a lower sensitivity to change in the low risk end of the risk scale and a higher sensitivity to change in the high risk end of the scale. The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis on how credit impairment provisions would change if thresholds applied were increased or decreased. A lower threshold would increase the number of loans that have migrated from Stage 1 to Stage 2 and also increase the estimated credit impairment provisions. A higher threshold would have the opposite effect.
The tables below disclose the impacts of this sensitivity analysis on the credit impairment provisions. Positive amounts represent higher credit impairment provisions that would be recognised.

The Swedbank Economic Outlook was published on 6 April and would typically serve as the baseline scenario. Given the war in Ukraine, an updated baseline scenario was necessary and was updated to 7 June by Swedbank Macro Research, with an assigned probability weight of 66.6 per cent. Aligned with the
updated baseline scenario, new alternative scenarios were developed, with assigned probability weights of 16.7 per cent on both the upside and downside scenario. These new macroeconomic scenarios were included in the expected credit losses calculations according to the Group's monthly process.

1) Unemployment rate, 16-64 years.
Global GDP is slowing down in 2022 and 2023 due to the economic consequences of the war in Ukraine. High and volatile energy and commodity prices are expected to dampen household consumption and firms' investments. Mitigating factors, such as expansionary fiscal policy and pent-up demand following the pandemic, will allow global economies to avoid stagnation. However, risks are tilted downwards.
The forecast is based on the assumption that the Western sanctions and boycotts on Russia will remain in place throughout the forecast horizon, i.e., it is not foreseen that many more sanctions will be added, nor is it expected that the ones in place will be lifted. This assumption implies that oil and gas prices are likely to remain high, but not increase further during the forecast horizon.
Although inflation is about to peak soon or has just peaked in many countries, consumer price inflation will be higher than normal for a while yet. The forecasts for central banks are being revised and the removal of stimulus is now expected to happen faster compared to the previous forecast.
The negative effect on GDP growth will be less extensive in Sweden than in most of Europe. However, growth is slowing, and inflation is rising even higher. Monetary policy will tighten sharply in the near term while fiscal support has been introduced to compensate households for high energy prices.
Baltic trade exposure to Russia is not extensive; nevertheless, the economic effects will be noticeable. Even higher inflation, a loss of confidence, a decline in some investments and some exports are likely to cause GDP growth to decline. Governments are implementing sizeable measures to cushion negative economic consequences and help households deal with inflation.
Set out below are the credit impairment provisions that would result from the negative and positive scenarios, which are considered reasonably possible, being assigned probabilities of 100 per cent. Post-model expert credit adjustments are assumed to be constant in the results.

1) Financial leasing agreements, when the Group is acting as lessor, are included in the valuation category Amortised cost since they are covered by provisions for expected credit losses.
2) Nominal amount of debt securities in issue designated at fair value through profit or loss was SEK 102m.
The determination of fair value, the valuation hierarchy and the valuation process for fair value measurements in Level 3 are described in the Annual and Sustainability Report 2021, note G46 Fair value of financial instruments
The financial instruments are distributed in three levels depending on inputs to the measurement.
The following tables present fair values of financial instruments recognised at fair value split between the three valuation hierarchy levels.

Financial instruments are transferred to or from level 3 depending on whether the impact of unobservable inputs has changed in significance to the valuation.
Level 3 comprises mainly strategic unlisted shares. These include holdings in VISA Inc. C shares that are subject to selling restrictions until June 2028 and under certain conditions may have to be returned. Liquid quotes are not available for these shares, therefore the fair value is established with significant elements of Swedbank's own internal assumptions. As of 30 June 2022, the carrying amount for the holdings in Visa Inc. C amounts to SEK 727m (676).
In the Group's insurance operations, fund units are held in which the customers have chosen to invest their insurance savings. The holdings are reported in the balance sheet as financial assets where the customers bear the investment risk and are normally measured at fair value according to level 1, because the units are traded in an active market. The Group's obligations to insurance savers are reported as financial liabilities where the customers bear the investment risk because it is the customers who bear the entire market value change of the assets. The liabilities are normally measured at fair value according to level 2.
During the first quarter 2022, trading was closed in whole or in part in Russia and Eastern Europe targeted funds. These unit holdings and liabilities to the insurance savers have therefore been transferred and measured to fair value according to level 3. Fully closed funds have been measured at a value of SEK 0m, while funds that were open for sales have been measured at the sale value. The liabilities have been measured on the same basis.

1) The pledge is defined as the borrower's nominal debt including accrued interest and refers to the loans of the total available collateral that are used as the pledge at each point in time

Swedbank is cooperating with authorities in the United States who are conducting investigations into Swedbank's historic AML compliance and the Group's response thereto, as well as related issues involving the Group's anti-money laundering controls and certain individuals and entities who may at some time have been customers of the Group.
Swedbank AS in Estonia has in March 2022 been informed by the Estonian Prosecutor that Swedbank AS is suspected of money laundering during the period 2014-2016.
The timings of the completion of the investigations are still unknown and the outcomes are still uncertain. At present, it is not possible to reliably estimate the amount of any potential settlement or fines, which could be material.
The tables below present recognised financial instruments that have been offset in the balance sheet under IAS 32 and those that are subject to legally enforceable master netting or similar agreements but do not qualify for offset. Such financial instruments relate to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, securities settlements, securities borrowing and lending transactions. Collateral amounts represent financial instruments or cash collateral received or pledged for transactions that are subject to a legally
enforceable master netting or similar agreements and which allow for the netting of obligations against the counterparty in the event of a default. Collateral amounts are limited to the amount of the related instruments presented in the balance sheet; therefore any over-collateralisation is not included. Amounts that are not offset in the balance sheet are presented as a reduction to the financial assets or liabilities in order to derive net asset and net liability exposure.

The amount offset for derivative assets includes offset cash collateral of SEK 18 281m (1 447) derived from the balance sheet item Amounts owed to credit institutions. The amount offset for derivative liabilities includes offset cash collateral of SEK 14 108m (2 249), derived from the balance sheet item Loans to credit institutions.
As of 31 March 2022, offset amounts for security settlement claims and liabilities are included in the table above. The significant increase in gross amounts between 31 December 2021 and 30 June 2022 is mainly due to valuation changes on derivatives.

This note provides information on the internal capital assessment according to chapter 8, section 5 of the SFSA's regulation on prudential requirements and capital buffers (2014:12). The internal capital assessment is published in the interim report according to chapter 8, section 4 of the SFSA's regulation and general advice on annual reports from credit institutions and investment firms (2008:25).
A bank must identify, measure and manage the risks with which its activities are associated and have sufficient capital to cover these risks. The purpose of the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) is to ensure that the bank is sufficiently capitalised to cover its risks and to conduct and develop its business activities. Swedbank applies its own models and processes to evaluate its capital need for all relevant risks. The models that serve as a basis for the internal capital assessment evaluate the need for economic capital over a one-year horizon at a 99.9 per cent confidence level for each type of risk. Diversification effects between various types of risks are not taken into account in the calculation of economic capital.
As a complement to the economic capital calculation, scenario-based simulations and stress tests are conducted at least once a year. The analyses provide an overview of the most important risks Swedbank is exposed to by quantifying their
Swedbank's earnings are affected by changes in the global marketplace over which it has no control, including macroeconomic factors such as GDP, asset prices and unemployment as well as changes in interest rates, equity prices and exchange rates. The war in Ukraine has led to previous economic forecasts being revised downwards.
The geopolitical tension built up during 2021 culminated in February in conjunction with the beginning of the war in Ukraine. In the end of May, the EU agreed on a sixth sanction package that includes e.g., a stage-by-stage embargo on Russian oil. Although Swedbank's direct as well as indirect exposures to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are limited, there is an overall European dependence on Russian energy such that also Swedbank's home markets are affected by the sanction's implications. So far, the war in Ukraine has led to an increase in inflation and a more unstable macroeconomic environment. The current high inflation with increased prices on goods and services has already started having an effect on peoples' purchasing power and the general interest rates environment. The fact that the conflict countries are large producers of several food related groceries and input goods, in combination with rising energy prices and extended sanctions against Russia, adds to the risk of sustained high inflation. Swedbank closely monitors the geopolitical and macroeconomic developments.
impact on the income statement and balance sheet as well as the own funds and risk-weighted assets. The purpose is to ensure efficient use of capital. The methodology serves as a basis of proactive risk and capital management.
As of 30 June 2022, the internal capital assessment for Swedbank's consolidated situation amounted to SEK 38.4bn (SEK 36.6bn as of 31 December 2021). The capital to meet the internal capital assessment, i.e. the Total capital, amounted to SEK 161.9bn (SEK 158.6bn as of 31 December 2021) (see Note 23). Swedbank's internal capital assessment using its own models is not comparable with the estimated capital requirement that the SFSA releases quarterly and does not consider the SFSA risk-weight floor for Swedish mortgages.
The internally estimated capital requirement for the parent company amounted to SEK 31bn (SEK 25.3bn as of 31 December 2021) and the total capital amounted to SEK 126.8bn (SEK 126.1bn as of 31 December 2021) (see the parent company's note on capital adequacy).
In addition to what is stated in this interim report, risk management and capital adequacy according to the Basel 3 framework are described in more detail in Swedbank's annual report for 2021 as well as in Swedbank's yearly Risk and Capital Adequacy Report, available on www.swedbank.se.
During the quarter the Bank has continued to prioritise the work with IT- and information security risks due to the war in Ukraine. Swedbank's capacity to manage these risks is good and we were not affected despite the increasing number of IT attacks against the financial industry.
For risks related to the ongoing investigations of authorities in US and Estonia related to historic antimoney laundering compliance and response related to anti-money laundering controls, please refer to Note 21 Assets pledged, contingent liabilities and commitments.
Due to the Geopolitical situation in Russia and Ukraine the sanction risk has been elevated. Many new sanctions regimes have entered or are to enter in to force in very close future, however these are managed by a specific sanctions task force including closely follow ups of the latest development. Sanctions regimes are continuously implemented in Swedbank's screening systems and investigational resources have been allocated. Numbers of frozen assets and rejected transactions are still rather limited. Risk of anti-money laundering and terrorist financing elevations is yet to be assessed.
In addition to the observations reported on money laundering and terrorist financing, Swedbank has previously identified elevated compliance risks
within the bank related to internal governance as noted by supervisory authorities in their investigations of money laundering. In this regard, Swedbank assesses that the deficiencies identified by the supervisory authorities have been addressed by the bank, and to a large extent remediated. Swedbank has also identified elevated compliance risks in the market surveillance area. Work is ongoing within the bank to address the deficiencies identified. Swedbank's Compliance function monitors this work.
The tax area is complex and leaves room for judgement. Practices and interpretations of applicable laws can be changed, sometimes retroactively. In the event that the tax authorities and, where appropriate, the tax courts decide on a different interpretation than what Swedbank initially made, it could impact the Group's operations, results and financial position.
In addition to what is stated in this interim report, detailed descriptions are provided in Swedbank's 2021 Annual and sustainability report and in the disclosure in the Risk Management and Capital Adequacy reports available at www.swedbank.com.

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Swedbank AB (publ) as of 30 June 2022 and the six-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual accounts act for credit institutions and securities companies. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual accounts act for credit institutions and securities companies, regarding the Group, and with the Annual accounts act for credit institutions and securities companies, regarding the Parent Company.
