Outlook
Economic confidence has increased since trade policy uncertainty has diminished. On the other hand, the higher tariffs will impact negatively on the economic outlook in the near future. Moreover, equity markets and the business environment of OP Corporate Bank and its customers could be affected by spreading geopolitical crises or mounting trade barriers.
A full-year earnings estimate for 2025 will only be provided for OP Pohjola, in OP Pohjola's financial statements bulletin and in its interim and half-year financial reports.
The most significant uncertainties affecting OP Corporate Bank's earnings performance relate to developments in the business environment, changes in the investment environment, and developments in impairment loss on receivables. Forward-looking statements in this Interim Report expressing the management's expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions are based on the current view on developments in the economy, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.
