Nordea Group CEO Frank Vang-Jensen has signaled that the pressure on the bank’s net interest income has abated, asserting that the trough was reached earlier this year.
The Finnish-Swedish lender’s chief executive expects a robust recovery in the core banking metric, which has been under strain from competitive dynamics and shifting rate environments across the Nordic region.
The outlook follows the release of Nordea’s second-quarter results, which showed group revenue approaching €500 million, marking a record for the period.

The bank reported first-half profits that exceeded market expectations, underscoring the resilience of its earnings engine despite broader macroeconomic headwinds.
Alongside the strong financial performance, Nordea announced an interim dividend of €0.34 per share, rewarding investors for the bank’s continued profitability.
Vang-Jensen’s comments provide a crucial forward-looking indicator for traders monitoring the Nordic banking sector.
