its subsidiaries in Finland and abroad.

The business operations of the Nordea Group have been organised in three

Nordea Group and provides the most complete and fair view.  The Finnish Asset

Nordea Bank Finland Group

Result summary January-June 2010
The first half year of 2010 showed lower income and profit levels compared to
the very strong H1 last year. Net loan losses increased slightly. NBF's total
income decreased by 17% to EUR 1,264m (1,520) and total expenses decreased by
1% to EUR 521m (525). (The comparison figures in brackets refer to the first six
months of 2009.)

NBF's operating profit decreased by 31% compared to the same period last year
and it amounted to EUR 576m (835). Return on equity was 7.7% (11.4) and the
cost/income ratio 41% (35). Loan losses amounted to EUR 167m (160). Net profit
decreased by 33% to EUR 417m (621).

Market development in the first half of 2010
The Finnish economy was subdued in the first months of 2010. It was hampered by
temporary factors, such as the dockworkers' strike. In the spring, signs of the
economy picking up increased. Recovery was indicated by the growth of industrial
production, retail sales and construction, among other things. The rise in
unemployment also stopped. Short-term market rates started to rise slowly in the
spring. Worries about the indebtedness of certain euro countries decreased
long-term market rates in Finland but increased uncertainty about future
economic trends.

Income
Total income decreased by 17% to EUR 1,264m. The decrease is mainly explained by
lower net interest income and lower net result from items at fair value. Margin
pressure in deposits continued as competition in deposits continued and interest
rates stayed on low levels. Net interest income totalled EUR 578m (633). Total
loans to the public increased by 2% year-on-year to EUR 68.7bn. Deposits and
borrowings from the public increased by 2% year-on-year to EUR 46.5bn.

Net fee and commission income increased by 44% to EUR 145m. Asset management
commissions increased whereas custody fees decreased leading to stable savings
related commissions. The increase in card commission income and commission
income from guarantees and documentary payments mainly explains the increase in
fee and commission income. Commission expenses decreased by 12% as a result of
lower other commission expenses.

Net result from items at fair value decreased from the record level in 2009 by
30% to EUR 526m (753). The customer-driven capital markets operations continued
to be strong with higher volumes, but the result was on a lower level.

Profit from companies accounted for under the equity method was stable and
amounted to EUR 1m (1).

Other operating income decreased to EUR 14m (32).

Expenses
Total operating expenses decreased by 1% and amounted to EUR 521m (525).

Staff costs decreased by 11% to EUR 267m (300) explained by lower variable
salaries as well as pension and social expenses. The number of full-time
employees decreased by approximately 129 year-on-year.

Other operating expenses totalled EUR 234m (208), up by 13% compared to last
year. The increase is mainly explained by higher marketing and other expenses
than in the corresponding period last year.

Depreciation of tangible and intangible assets increased to EUR 20m (17).

The cost/income ratio increased to 41% in the first half of 2010.

Throughout this report, "Nordea Bank Finland" and "NBF" refer to the parent
company Nordea Bank Finland Plc, business identity code
1680235-8, with its subsidiaries. The registered office of the company is in
Helsinki. Nordea Bank Finland Plc is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nordea Bank AB
(publ), the listed parent company of the whole Nordea Group. The business
operations of the Nordea Group have been organised in three customer areas, all

Institutional & International Banking. The consolidated interim report of Nordea
Bank AB (publ) embraces all the activities of the Nordea Group and provides the
most complete and fair view. This statutory interim report covers the operations
of the legal entity Nordea Bank Finland Plc with its subsidiaries.

Loan losses
Net loan losses in the first half year increased slightly to EUR 167m (160)
corresponding to a loan loss ratio of 51 basis points.

Net loan losses as well as impaired loans continue to stem from a large number
of smaller and medium-sized exposures rather than from a few large exposures.

Taxes
The effective tax rate for the first half of 2010 was approximately 28% compared
to 26% in the first half of 2009.

Net profit
Net profit decreased by 33% to EUR 417m (621) corresponding to a return on
equity of 7.7% compared to 11.4% in the first half of last year.

Other information

Group initiatives 2010
In February 2010 Nordea launched nine group initiatives to support the prudent
growth strategy. Activities related to the initiatives are well on track and
have started in all areas. Growth Plan Finland proceeds according to plans and
more than 100 new advisers and specialists have been recruited this year in high
growth areas to ensure services needed in the coming years. 28 branches will be
relocated or refurbished to better serve our customers during the next 12
months. More information on group initiatives is disclosed in the Nordea Bank
AB's (publ) interim report for Q2.

Balance sheet
(Comparison figures in brackets refer to December 2009 figures)

The total assets of NBF amounted to EUR 269bn (221). The change relates mainly
to higher market values of derivatives.

The growth rate of the housing loan stock was 4% in Finland. Total loans to the
public increased by 5% compared with the end of 2009.

Deposits and borrowings from the public increased from the year-end level and
amounted to EUR 46.5bn (44.3).

Capital position and capital management
At the end of June, NBF's risk-weighted amounts (RWA) were EUR 76.2bn excluding
transition rules, compared to EUR 72.1bn at year-end 2009 and 73.4bn one year
ago.

As transition rules had no effect on RWA, the reported RWA increased by EUR
4.1bn compared with end 2009 figures.

The Tier 1 ratio was 13.3% and the total capital ratio was 13.9%. Profit for the
period has not been included in Tier 1.

Credit portfolio
Total lending was EUR 68.7bn (65.7) at the end of June 2010. The share of
lending to corporate customers was 50%. Lending in the Baltic countries
constitutes 11% of NBF's total lending.

Impaired loans gross decreased slightly to EUR 1,794m at the end of June 2010
compared to EUR 1,801m at the end of December 2009. Individually assessed
impaired loans, net, amounted to EUR 1,290m (1,354) representing 1.01% of total
loans before allowances. At year-end 2009 the ratio was 1.08%.

Total allowances in the Baltic countries amounted to EUR 347m, of which EUR
194m were collective provisions.


Off-balance sheet commitments
The total amount of off-balance sheet commitments increased slightly to EUR
35.6bn (35.5). The volumes of derivatives have continued to grow and they
amounted to EUR 5,231bn (4,526).

Changes in group structure
During the first half of the year two new subsidiaries have been established in
Estonia.

Risks and uncertainties
Nordea's revenue base reflects the Group's business with a large and diversified
customer base, comprising household customers, corporate customers and financial
institutions, representing different geographic areas and industries.

Nordea's main risk exposure is credit risk. The Group also assumes risks such as
market risk, liquidity risk, operational risk and life insurance risk. For
further information on risk composition, see the Annual Report.

The financial crisis and the deteriorating macroeconomic situation have not had
material impact on Nordea's financial position. However, the macroeconomic
development remains highly uncertain as communicated in the outlook statement
below.

None of the above exposures and risks is expected to have any significant
adverse effect on the Group or its financial position in the next six months.

Within the framework of the normal business operations, the Group faces claims
in civil lawsuits and other disputes, most of which involve relatively limited
amounts. None of these disputes are considered likely to have any significant
adverse effect on the Group or its financial position in the next six months.

Changes in the Board of Directors
President Carl-Johan Granvik and the President's deputy Ari Kaperi resigned from
their positions as of 30 June 2010. The Board elected Ari Kaperi President and
Pekka Nuuttila his deputy as from 1 July 2010. Fredrik Rystedt was elected the
Chairman and Ari Kaperi the Deputy Chairman of the Board on 1 July 2010.
Christian Clausen, Carl-Johan Granvik and Peter Schütze resigned from their
positions as members of the Board as of 30 June 2010 and Ari Kaperi and Gunn
Wærsted were elected members of the Board as from 1 July 2010. Michael Rasmussen
continues as member of the Board until 31 August 2010. Casper von Koskull has
been elected a member of the Board as from 1 September 2010.

Outlook 2010
Nordea expects the macroeconomic recovery to continue in 2010. Although the
global development is still fragile and hence uncertainty remains, the outlook
for the Nordic markets has improved during the year.

Excluding currency effects in 2010, Nordea expects cost growth to be broadly in
line with 2009, including the effects from growth and efficiency initiatives.

Nordea expects risk-adjusted profit to be lower in 2010 compared to 2009, due to
lower income in Treasury and Markets.

Net loan losses in 2010 are expected to be lower than in 2009. Credit quality
continues to stabilise, in line with the macroeconomic recovery. Nordea Bank
Finland is expected to contribute to the above-mentioned development.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 1 Accounting policies
NBF's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations of such
standards by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee
(IFRIC), as endorsed by the EU Commission. In addition, certain rules in the
Finnish Accounting Act, the Finnish Credit Institutions Act, the Financial
Supervisory Authority's regulations and guidelines and the Decree of the
Ministry of Finance on the financial statements and consolidated financial
statements of credit institutions, have also been applied.

These statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial
Reporting". The interim report is unaudited.

Changed accounting policies and presentation
The accounting policies, basis for calculations and presentation are, in all
material aspects, unchanged in comparison with the 2009 Annual Report, except
for the classification of lending commissions in the income statement further
described below.

Classification of lending commissions
The accounting treatment of lending commissions, including the classification in
the income statement, depends on for which purpose the commission is received.
Commissions that are considered to be an integral part of the effective interest
rate of a loan are included in the calculation of effective interest and
classified as "Net interest income" in the income statement, while commissions
considered to be compensation for performed services are classified as "Net fee
and commission income".

Judgment has to be exercised when deciding on whether or not a commission shall
be included, and to what extent, in the calculation of the effective interest of
a loan.  During H1 2010 NBF reassessed this judgment, which has lead to a
reclassification of commissions from "Net fee and commission income" to "Net
interest income". The comparable figures have been restated accordingly and the
impact is, together with the impact on 2010, disclosed in the below table.
