Stockholm 24 April 2024
SEB's operating profit for the first quarter 2024 amounted to SEK 12.3bn, with a return on equity of 17.2 per cent, a CET1 capital ratio of 18.9 per cent, and a capital management buffer of 420 basis points.
"We report a solid result, with robust asset quality and low net expected credit losses. The strengthening macroeconomic picture in Sweden was partly reflected in an improved market sentiment. At the same time, the high interest rate environment continued to have a dampening effect on credit demand," says SEB's President and CEO Johan Torgeby.
