The ECB and EBA confirm Swedbank's strong asset qualityand capitalisation

Swedbank has participated in the European Banking Authority (EBA) stress

test and Asset Quality Review (AQR). Swedbank's subsidiaries in Estonia,

Lithuania and Latvia have been part of the European Central Bank's (ECB)

Comprehensive Assessment, which encompasses stress test and AQR.

The results confirm Swedbank's strong asset quality and capital position

and show that Swedbank and its Baltic subsidiaries have sufficient

capital to withstand a severe stress scenario.

The results from the stress tests and the asset quality reviews have

been made available at ECB's and EBA's websites today, 26 October. To
