“Throughout the pandemic, we have supported our customers while maintaining a strong financial position. Net profit increased compared to the previous quarter with net commission income close to the record high level seen last quarter and increased customer satisfaction among corporate, private and wealth management customers in Sweden. Our strong financial position allows capital repatriation, as the capital buffer exceeds both the regulatory requirement and our own target. SEB’s Board of Directors has decided to initiate a SEK 2.5bn share buyback program and to propose a further ordinary dividend of SEK 4.10 per share,” says Johan Torgeby, SEB’s President and CEO.
