Nordea Bank’s 2024 financial report highlights a steady growth trajectory, with a 3% increase in total income and a solid return on equity of 16.7% for the full year. The bank maintained strong profitability despite some fluctuations in net interest income due to policy rate changes.
Key performance indicators include an 8% rise in net fee and commission income, driven by increased customer activity in savings and investments.
