SEB’s economists are adjusting their GDP growth outlook slightly lower, but still project the global economy will grow somewhat above trend in 2019 and 2020.

Operating income for the third quarter amounted to SEK 11.4bn (11.9). Compared to the third quarter 2017, operating income increased by 3 per cent. 

SEB's result for the third quarter 2018 will be announced on Thursday, 25 October, at 07:00 (Swedish time). 

For the third consecutive year, SEB is included as the only Nordic bank in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, the world's most recognized investor sustainability rating.

SEB’s investment experts recommend a neutral allocation between equities, fixed-income and alternative investments. This is a slight change away from equities compared to the previous issue in May.

SEB’s economists are sticking to an optimistic forecast in which global GDP will increase by about 4 per cent yearly in 2018 and 2019, followed by a mild deceleration in 2020. 

Operating profit for the second quarter 2018 was SEK 10.7bn (5.3). Return on equity was 29.9 per cent (11.6) while return on equity before items affecting comparability was 16.5 per cent (11.6).

SEB's result for the second quarter 2018 will be announced on Tuesday, 17 July, at 07:00 (Swedish time).
