“As we close the books for 2022, we look back at a year characterised by a tragic war in Europe, historically high energy prices, global inflationary pressure and central banks responding with rapid interest rate hikes,” says Johan Torgeby, SEB’s President and CEO. “During the fourth quarter, this unprecedented macroeconomic environment continued to impact customer sentiment and activity, with our results driven by strong trading activity and higher interest rates. With our solid earnings capacity, capital and liquidity buffers, we believe we are in a good position to continue to support our customers and invest in our business.”
