Stockholm 16 July 2024
SEB's operating profit for the second quarter 2024 amounted to SEK 11.8bn, with a return on equity of 17.6 per cent, a CET1 capital ratio of 19.0 per cent, and a capital management buffer of 430 basis points.
"Our result remained solid in the second quarter and asset quality was robust. While the interest rate cuts during the quarter resulted in a decrease in net interest income, we saw improved momentum in other parts of our business. For instance, we saw positive net flows in asset management across the divisions, an increase in investment banking activity and signs of improving credit demand," says SEB's President and CEO Johan Torgeby.
