Representatives of the Group management will present the results followed by a Q&A session.

In the third quarter of 2019, the DNB Group will recognise a positive effect of NOK 78 million from basis swaps connected to funding. Furthermore, a positive effect of NOK 812 million from the Additional Tier 1 capital will also be recognised.

On 13 September 2018, DNB and Nordea announced an agreement to jointly sell 60 per cent of Luminor to a consortium led by private equity funds managed by Blackstone. As announced, the transaction was subject to customary regulatory approvals. Those approvals have now been received and the deal has now been closed.

As communicated in connection to the announcement of the deal on 13 September 2018, DNB will remain as shareholder in Luminor with a 20 per cent stake.

DNB will realise a positive impact on the Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) ratio of approximately 30bps from closing the transaction. As the transaction formally closed on September 30th, the capital effect will be counted in the third quarter.

As a result of recent events and current circumstances related to one specific loan engagement, DNB expects to make a loan loss provision for this in the third quarter of about NOK 1,000m.

As of today, DNB has a new organisational structure and a new Group Management team. The main changes are:

• Corporate Banking is a new business area that will provide more consistent and comprehensive service to corporate customers. The area consists of the former business areas Corporate Banking (‘Bedriftsmarked’) and Large Corporates and International.
• IT development resources are being incorporated into the business areas to strengthen the focus on digital customer channels and ensure good digital customer experiences.
• Group-wide IT services and operations and automation responsibilities are transferred to the new support unit called Technology & Services. This unit will also strengthen the Group’s work with safety, compliance and stable operations.
• People has become a separate support unit, responsible for employee development and efficient job transition management.

On Thursday, Norges Bank raised the key policy rate by 0.25 percentage points. The price that banks pay to borrow money has also gone up in the past months. 

DNB has therefore decided to increase the interest rate on home mortgages by up to 0.25 percentage points.  

"The last few years, the interest rates in Norway have been record low, and an increasing key policy rate from the Norwegian central bank is a sign that the Norwegian economy is still doing well. This has an effect on mortgage interest rates, and that is why they are now being raised. DNB will continue to offer competitive terms on loans," says Ingjerd Blekeli Spiten, head of Personal Banking in DNB. 

"We also want to help young customers enter the housing market by offering them favourable interest rates, while green home mortgages will have our best indicative floating interest rate of 2.89 per cent," she continues.  

The customers whose interest rates will be adjusted, will be given information in the Internet bank or receive a letter by regular mail, explaining how their mortgage will be affected. For these customers, the interest rate adjustments will become effective as of 7 November.
