Swedish FSA closes investigation with no remark

The Swedish FSA has today notified that the authority has closed its investigation with no remark into Swedbank AB for breaches of the European Union's regulation on market abuse.

"One by one we leave the historical issues behind to instead fully focus on our customers' future," says Jens Henriksson, President and CEO of Swedbank.

The Swedish FSA opened an investigation in September 2020 into suspected breaches of articles 17 and 18 in the European Union's regulation on market abuse. The SFSA has now closed the investigation with reference to the decision by The Disciplinary Committee at Nasdaq Stockholm on May 5, 2021 ordered Swedbank to pay a fine of twelve annual fees, equivalent of SEK 46.6 million for shortcomings regarding the distribution of information during 2016-2019.
