EBA stress test confirms Nordea’s strong position

The European Banking Authority (EBA) Sunday published the result of its EU-wide
stress test. The test confirms Nordea’s strong position, as the bank stands well
above the set thresholds.

Nordea’s pro-forma Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1%) capital ratio was 13.9 per cent
at the end of 2013 according to the new capital regulation.

At the end of 2016 in the adverse stress test scenario Nordea’s CET1% capital
was 12.0 per cent (11.8 per cent in 2015), which is well above the 5.5 per cent
threshold set by the EBA.

The comprehensive assessment of asset quality and stress test for banks within
the euro area was also published on Sunday by the ECB and includes the
assessment of Nordea’s Finnish subsidiary (Nordea Bank Finland Group). The
results confirm Nordea Bank Finland’s strong position with a CET1% capital ratio
of 10.4 per cent at the end of the stress test horizon.
