Peter Engberg Jensen, Group Chief Executive, has the following comments:
"Nykredit's positive business development continued in H1/2013, and all areas are trending in the right direction. Total core income grew by more than 8%, costs were cut by 2%, and impairment losses declined to DKK 929m, or 0.08% of total loans and advances.
Impairment losses have not exceeded 0.10% for any half-year since 2010.
Nykredit's robust capital structure includes equity of DKK 58.6bn. The development in H1/2013 was another step towards securing the equity level of DKK 70bn that the new capital rules are expected to require in 2019, based on Nykredit's existing business volume."
