Half-Year Financial Report for the period January - June 2022
“A turbulent first half of 2022: with war in Ukraine, high inflation, rising interest rates and bond yields as well as plunging stock markets. Despite this turbulence, we have seen a continued stable net inflow of new customers and financial investment volumes, EUR +294 M. Adjusted for the divestment of most of our Swedish mortgage loan portfolio − about EUR 1 billion − lending grew by EUR 372 M during the first six months of this year.
“To summarise, it was a satisfactory first half. We will have to prepare ourselves for continued turbulence during the second half of 2022, but my perception is that the Bank of Åland will also take on the rest of the year with solid confidence.”
Peter Wiklöf, Managing Director and Chief Executive
