Pohjola Bank plc Interim Report for 1 January-30 September 2009                 

January-September                                                               
- Earnings before tax improved year on year to EUR 211 million (114).           
- Earnings before tax at fair value amounted to EUR 424 million (-67) and return
on equity at fair value was 21.8% (-3.9).                                       
- Banking improved its profit performance thanks to good results in capital     
markets.                                                                        
- Within Asset Management, assets under management continue to grow, totalling  
EUR 31.4 billion (25.3).                                                        
- Non-life Insurance reported an excellent balance on technical account and     
recorded an operating combined ratio of 86.7% (90.0). Return on investment at   
fair value rose to 9.0% (-2.8).                                                 
- Outlook: Consolidated earnings for 2009 before tax are expected to be roughly 
double the amount compared with those in 2008. Developments in impairment       
charges remain the greatest uncertainty associated with the outlook (more       
detailed information on the outlook in the "Outlook towards the year end"
section below).                                                                 

July-September                                                                  
- Earnings before tax amounted to EUR 87 million (43).                          
- Earnings before tax at fair value were EUR 196 million (-39).                 
- Impairment charges on receivables burdened earnings by EUR 41 million.        
- Within Asset Management, assets under management grew by EUR 3.6 billion.     
- Non-life Insurance reported an operating combined ratio of 83.1% (80.7) and

4.3% (-1.7).

President and CEO Mikael Silvennoinen:                                          

“The Group's third-quarter financial performance was excellent and the          
January-September profit was almost double the amount reported a year ago. Our  
strong financial performance was based on good results recorded by Markets,     
higher net interest income by the Group Functions and favourable developments in
the balance on technical account. The economic recession dampened demand for    
corporate loans and tightened corporate liquidity. Impairment charges increased 
considerably from their previous year's level although their amount can be      
regarded as moderate, considering how rapidly Finland entered into the recession
and how deep the recession has been.                                            

Non-life Insurance balance on technical account was excellent. Growth in        
insurance premium revenue remained strong among private customers, thanks to    
efficient insurance policy sales by OP-Pohjola Group member banks. When it comes
to corporate customers, both insurance premium revenue and claims incurred      
decreased as a result of the recession. Non-life Insurance return on investments
at fair value developed favourably.                                             

Within Asset Management, assets under management increased by 24% thanks to     
favourable developments in the investment market and the net assets inflow.     

Our business model has also proved effective in the challenging operating       
environment. Our financial results, capital base and liquidity position are     
strong and funding has performed well."


Operating environment                                                           

The world economy continued its gradual recovery in the third quarter and major 
consumer indices rose. The recession has probably bottomed out in the US, and   
the euro area economy is showing some signs of stabilisation and rebound.       
Accelerating economic growth in China is gradually spreading to the rest of Asia
as a result of stronger export demand. Major uncertainties are still associated 
with global economic recovery because the current stabilisation of economies    
after a steep fall is largely due to public support. The Finnish economy saw    
signs of stabilisation in the third quarter with greater expectations of a      
favourable economic development. Nevertheless, ample idle production capacity   
and weakening employment will keep investment and consumer demand low.          

Confidence in the financial market improved and risk premiums narrowed to       
pre-crisis levels. Central banks have continued to pursue an expansionary       
monetary policy of exceptional nature by keeping their key rates at close to    
zero and supporting banking system liquidity through extreme measures. Market   
rates in the euro area hit an all-time low. During the last month, expectations 
of normalising the monetary policy have slightly strengthened but there are no  
strong signs of a key rate increase on the horizon.                             

Stock markets continued their rally during the third quarter and risk appetite  
has risen among investors markedly, with higher-than-expected corporate profits 
and the shift of investments towards higher-risk assets lying behind these      
developments. Demand for corporate bond issues has been exceptionally strong and
the current year has seen a record number of such issues.                       

The recession has resulted in an increase in corporate payment defaults and     
bankruptcies. Companies have cut capital spending and costs, which has slowed   
down demand for loans. Business slowdown in the corporate sector has also       
restrained premiums written within Non-life Insurance and reduced claims        
expenditure.

January-September earnings                                                      

Consolidated net income increased by 28% to EUR 576 million (450) and net income
before impairments of receivables by 47% to EUR 671 million (458).              

Net interest income came to EUR 177 million (120), up by 47% year on year. This 
improvement had its roots in net interest income from the liquidity reserve     
portfolio, the loan portfolio that grew throughout 2008, a rise in lending      
margins of new loans. In addition, the price difference recognised on           
reclassified notes and bonds increased net interest income by EUR 20 million.   

Impairments on receivables rose by EUR 87 million year on year, as expected,    
totalling EUR 95 million (8). Companies' solvency deteriorated due to the       
recession, which was reflected in higher impairment charges.                    

Net income from Non-life Insurance rose by EUR 27 million to EUR 307 million    
(280), as a result of the favourable development of the balance on technical    
account. Net investment income recognised in the income statement was lower than
a year ago.                                                                     

Net commissions and fees came to EUR 102 million, or EUR 11 million higher than 
in the previous year. This growth came mainly from commission income from loans 
and guarantees.                                                                 

Net trading income totalled EUR 60 million (-72), or EUR 132 million higher than
in the previous year, with income from derivative and bond trading showing an   
increase in particular.  Negative mark-to-market valuations recognised a year   
ago in the income statement from the liquidity reserve portfolio totalled EUR 70
million.                                                                        

Net investment income fell by EUR 17 million being EUR 8 million in the red, due
adjustments for property values, impairment charges for equities and lower      
dividend income than a year ago.                                                

Expenses rose by 9% to EUR 366 million (337). Personnel costs rose by EUR 11    
million. The number of Group employees increased by 49 from 31 December 2008 and
the Group recognised more provisions for performance-based bonuses than a year  
ago. Non-life Insurance agency fees and sales commissions rose by EUR 12 million
as a result of higher sales and Pohjola's insurance field staff joining the     
payroll of OP-Pohjola Group member banks on 1 October 2008.Depreciation on      
leases grew by EUR 3 million. Excluding insurance sales commissions, provisions 
recognised for performance-based bonuses and growth in depreciation on leases,  
expenses rose by 3%.                                                            

Earnings before tax came to EUR 211 million (144), showing a year-on-year       
improvement of EUR 97 million.                                                  

The fair value reserve increased by EUR 213 million, whereas it decreased by EUR
181 million during the same period a year ago. Impairments recognised from the  
fair value reserve in the income statement totalled EUR 29 million. On 30       
September, the fair value reserve after tax stood at EUR -22 million, as against
EUR -180 million on 31 December 2008. This negative fair value reserve is mainly
due to equity and mutual fund investments by Non-life Insurance, with the       
related fair values being lower than purchase prices.           

Earnings before tax at fair value amounted to EUR 424 million (-67).            

July-September earnings                                                         

Net income improved by 42% to EUR 206 million (145) and net income before       
impairments of receivables rose by 58% to EUR 247 million (156).                

Growth in net interest income slowed down somewhat during the reporting period. 
The loan and guarantee portfolio remained at the same level as a year ago.      
However, lending margins continued to rise, with corporate loan margins         
averaging 1.21% as against 1.14% at the end of June. The price difference       
recognised on reclassified notes and bonds increased net interest income by EUR 
6 million.                                                                      

Impairments of receivables rose by EUR 30 million year on year to EUR 41 million
(11).                                                                           

Net income from Non-Life Insurance increased to EUR 114 million (98), as a      
result of a year-on-year improvement in net investment income.                  

Net commissions and fees rose vigorously due to year-on-year growth in loans and
guarantees and higher securities brokerage commissions.                         

Good trading performance was reflected in higher net trading income, totalling  
EUR 27 million (-26).                                                           

Expenses rose by 16% to EUR 119 million (102). Growth in the number of employees
and provisions recognised for performance-based bonuses increased personnel     
costs by EUR 9 million. Underwriting commissions were EUR 4 million higher than 
a year ago.                                                                     

Earnings before tax were EUR 87 million (43) and earnings before tax at fair    
value EUR 196 million (-39).                                                    

Group risk exposure                                                         

The Group's risk exposure continued to remain favourable despite higher         
impairment charges. The Group's good financial performance strengthened the     
risk-bearing capacity. Despite the recession, investment-grade exposures        
continued to remain at good levels, the trend of corporate customers' lowering  
credit scores levelled out and the ratio of doubtful receivables to the loan and
guarantee portfolio remained low. Impairment charges continue to increase during
the third quarter as a result of the recession. The Non-life Insurance          
risk-bearing capacity improved as a result of good financial performance shown  
by Non-life Insurance and of rebounding investment markets.                     

The financial position and liquidity remained strong. Short-term funding        
performed well and the availability of long-term funding also improved. Pohjola 
launched a EUR 750-million issue in the international market, with a maturity of
three years. Pohjola has also the opportunity to use Finnish State guarantee in 
its funding, if necessary.                                                      

Pohjola Bank plc maintains OP-Pohjola Group's liquidity reserve portfolio which 
mainly consists of notes and bonds eligible as collateral for central bank      
refinancing. The liquidity reserve portfolio totalled EUR 9.5 billion (9.8) on  
30 September. This liquidity reserve portfolio plus other items included in     
OP-Pohjola Group's balance sheet and eligible for central bank refinancing form 
the liquidity reserve, which can be used to cover OP-Pohjola Group's wholesale  
funding maturities for some 24 months.                                          

Determining the value of the available-for-sale financial assets and at fair    
value through profit or loss included in the liquidity reserve portfolio is     
based on mark-to-market valuations. The Group has not recognised value changes  
at fair value for any debt securities issued. Impairments recognised from the   
liquidity reserve portfolio in the third quarter totalled EUR 2 million, based  
on lower credit ratings for receivables. Impairments recognised from the        
liquidity reserve portfolio during January-September came to EUR 11 million.    

Net loan losses and impairments had an effect of EUR 95 million (8) on          
January-September earnings. Final loan losses recognised for January-September  
totalled EUR 15 million (12) and impairment charges EUR 111 million (3). Loan   
loss recoveries and allowances for impairments totalled EUR 32 million (7).     
Impairments recognised on an individual basis accounted for over 90% of net loan
losses and impairments and those on a collective basis for less than 10%.       
Doubtful receivables came to EUR 50 million (35), accounting for 0.36% (0.25) of
the loan and guarantee portfolio.                                               

With the recession deteriorating customers' creditworthiness, Pohjola has       
rearranged financing of some of its corporate customers in such a way that part 
of company ownership has transferred to Pohjola through company shares or stock 
options. Pohjola considers these measures to be the best way of securing its    
receivables and collateral and ensuring that the customer's business survives   
the recession. Assessing the duration of the current recession and its effects  
on our corporate customers' operating conditions still involves uncertainty.    


Capital adequacy                                                                

The capital adequacy ratio continued to remain strong, standing at 13.0% (11.3) 
as against the statutory minimum requirement of 8%. The Tier 1 ratio was 11.3%  
(9.4).                                                                          

Tier 1 capital came to EUR 1,488 million (1,228) and the total capital base     
amounted to EUR 1,719 million (1,484). The minimum regulatory capital           
requirement to cover market risk amounted to EUR 42 million (47).               

On 30 September, risk-weighted assets totalled EUR 13,185 million, as against   
EUR 13,120 million on 31 December 2008. When comparing risk-weighted assets with
the comparable figures at the end of last year, they rose by EUR 402 million,   
due to downgraded corporate credit ratings.                                     

Pohjola Bank plc strengthened its capital base through the EUR 308-million      
rights issue held between 7 and 24 April 2009. After the deduction of the       
related issue expenses, Tier 1 capital increased by EUR 298 million.            

Pohjola was authorised in April 2009 by the Financial Supervisory Authority to  
redeem prematurely no more than EUR 150 million in debt instruments included in 
Tier 2 capital. As required by the Financial Supervisory Authority, this full   
amount must be deducted from the capital base. By 30 September, Pohjola had     
repurchased debt instruments worth EUR 7 million. In September, Pohjola informed
the Financial Supervisory Authority of a partial cancellation of repurchase. The
company included this cancelled amount, EUR 130 million, in Tier 2 capital at   
the end of September.                                                           

Credit ratings                                                                  

Pohjola Bank plc's credit ratings are as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Standard & Poor's forecasts a stable credit rating outlook for Pohjola Bank plc,
whereas Fitch confirmed the credit ratings on 29 July 2009, changing the outlook
for long-term debt from stable to negative. On 8 September 2009, Moody's        
downgraded Pohjola's rating for long-term debt to Aa2 but reaffirmed the        
short-term rating at Aa2. The rating agency's credit rating outlook for Pohjola 
remained negative.                                                              


Updated strategy                                                                

In September, Pohjola adopted an updated strategy, focusing on intensifying     
integration and upgrading businesses. Pohjola's core values are a People-first  
Approach, Responsibility and Prospering Together.                               

Pohjola provides its corporate and institutional customers with a diverse range 
of banking, asset management and non-life insurance services, and private       
individuals with an extensive range of non-life insurance and private banking   
services.                                                                       

Pohjola's vision is to be the most preferred financial services partner, and    
profitable growth and an increase in company value form its key goals. The      
company stands out from the competition by operating close to customers,        
providing them with comprehensive financial services and being part of          
OP-Pohjola Group in intense cooperation with the Group's member banks. Pohjola  
is in close interaction with its customers, knowing customer needs and risks and
creating solutions ideal for customers. It builds customer relationships on a   
long-term basis with the aim of establishing total customer relationships.      

Highly skilled and motivated employees are a prerequisite for upgrading         
businesses and providing the best service within the sector. Pohjola enhances   
its intellectual capital systematically as part of business development.        

Finland is Pohjola's main market area. Pohjola is making dedicated efforts to   
further develop its service network in Finland and neighbouring regions. In     
other market areas, Pohjola's service capabilities are based on cooperation with
high-quality local or international partners.                                   

As part of OP-Pohjola Group, Pohjola boasts the most extensive and diversified  
service network within the sector and the largest clientele in Finland.         
OP-Pohjola Group's logo is the most recognisable one in the Finnish financial   
sector. Pohjola secures business continuity by maintaining a strong capital     
base. Joint responsibility with OP-Pohjola Group's member credit institutions   
strengthens Pohjola's creditworthiness.                                         

Pohjola seeks growth by strengthening not only its own but also the entire      
OP-Pohjola Group's market position as a partner of mid-size companies in        
particular. Intensifying business integration involves measures to make more    
efficient use of OP-Pohjola Group's shared customer potential. In addition,     
Pohjola will develop its international partner network further and invest in its
ability to reinvent itself and develop its operations further.

January-September earnings                                                      

Banking reported earnings before tax that were better than a year ago although  
impairment charges showed a substantial increase. The economic recession made   
corporate customers cut capital spending, slowing down demand for loans. The    
loan portfolio shrank by 5% from its level at the end of 2008, standing at EUR  
10.9 billion on 30 September, and decreased by almost EUR 0.4 billion in the    
year to September, or 3%. The guarantee portfolio increased by 2% to EUR 2.7    
billion from its level at the end of 2008 and by 14% to EUR 0.3 billion in the  
year to September, due to growth in guarantees for TyEL (under the Employees    
Pensions Act) premium loans.                                                    

Pohjola raised margins on new and renewed loans to cover higher funding costs,  
which was reflected in a considerable rise in the average corporate loan margin.

Net commissions and fees were almost 40% higher than a year ago. Commission     
income from loans grew by EUR 13 million and that from guarantees by EUR 6      
million. Similarly, net commissions and fees from payment transfers and         
securities brokerage were higher than the year before.                          

Pohjola Markets has shown record strong financial performance during the current
year, reporting an increase in net income from trading in bonds and derivatives 
in particular.                                                                  

Based on a change in accounting practice at the end of 2008, notes and bonds    
included in the liquidity reserve were reclassified in the balance sheet in such
a way that they are carried at amortised cost and changes in their fair value   
are not recognised through profit or loss. As a result, net trading income rose 
by EUR 13 million year on year. The price difference between the nominal value  
and the acquisition value arising from the reclassification recognised in net   
interest income totalled EUR 3 million.                                         

Expenses increased by EUR 17 million, and excluding growth in depreciation on   
leases and provisions recognised for performance-based bonuses, growth in       
expenses was considerably smaller. However, the cost/income ratio improved      
considerably.                                                                   

July-September earnings                                                         

Third-quarter earnings before tax amounted to EUR 24 million, equalling the     
amount a year ago despite the EUR 31 million increase in impairment charges. The
loan and guarantee portfolio decreased by EUR 0.3 billion, whereas a year ago it
increased by EUR 0.6 billion.                                                   

Despite higher lending margins, net interest income was EUR 5 million lower than
a year ago as a result of a reduction in net interest income from trading.      
However, net commissions and fees rose by almost EUR 7 million, commission      
income from loans growing by EUR 4 million and that from guarantees by EUR 2    
million.           

The Markets division posted earnings of EUR 18 million, or EUR 22 million higher
than the year before, due particularly to trading in bond and derivative        
markets.                                                                        
Risk exposure by Banking                                                        

Within Banking, key risks are associated with credit risk arising from customer 
business, and market risks.                                                     

During January-September, total exposure decreased by EUR 0.4 billion to EUR    
21.1 billion. The ratio of investment-grade exposure - that is, ratings 1-5 - to
total exposure, excluding households, remained at a healthy level, standing at  
64% (68), the share of ratings 11-12 was 1.4% (0.6) and that of non-rated       
exposure 1.2% (1).                                                              

Corporate exposure (including housing corporations) accounted for 77% (74) of   
total exposure within Banking. Of corporate exposure, the share of              
investment-grade exposure stood at 58% (61) and the exposure of the lowest two  
rating categories amounted to EUR 274 million (117), accounting for 1.7% (0.7)  
of the total corporate exposure. The distribution of corporate exposure by      
industry remained highly diversified and none of the industries represented over
12% of corporate exposure on 30 September. The most significant industries      
included the lease and management of flats representing 11.2% (10.8), the       
manufacture of machinery and equipment 10.7% (10.0) and trade 9.4% (10.4).      

Significant customer exposure decreased to EUR 3.5 billion (4.4). The ratio of  
doubtful receivables to the loan and guarantee portfolio continued to remain    
low, standing at EUR 49 million (34), or 0.37% (0.25). Past due payments came to
EUR 22 million (32), representing 0.16% (0.22) of the loan and guarantee        
portfolio. Net credit losses and impairment charges reduced January-September   
results by EUR 84 million (7), accounting for 0.62% (0.05) of the loan and      
guarantee portfolio.                                                            

On 30 September, Baltic Banking exposures totalled EUR 113 million, accounting  
for less than 1% of the loan and guarantee portfolio. The Baltic Banking share  
of net credit losses and impairment charges for January-September amounted to   
EUR 5 million, comprising mainly impairments on receivables recognised on a     
collective basis.                                                               

Interest rate risk exposure averaged EUR 11 million in the third quarter and EUR
12 million in January-September, based on the 1-percentage-point change in the  
interest rate.                                                                  


Asset Management                                                                

- Earnings before tax improved to EUR 11 million (10).                          
- Assets under management increased by 24% to EUR 31.4 billion (25.3).

January-September earnings                                                      

Earnings before tax for the period improved to EUR 11 million (10), year on     
year. The operating cost/income ratio stood at 60% (60).                        

Assets under management increased year on year, totalling EUR 31.4 billion      
(25.3) on 30 September, institutional clients accounting for EUR 18.3 billion   
(16.0), OP mutual funds for EUR 10.9 billion (8.5) and Pohjola Private for EUR  
2.2 billion (0.7). Assets under management increased by 24% from their level at 
the beginning of January 2009. Higher net assets inflow and favourable market   
developments since the second quarter contributed to this increase.             

July-September earnings                                                         

Earnings before tax amounted to EUR 4 million (3). Net commissions and fees     
increased by 10% year on year and results were markedly better. Assets under    
management grew by EUR 3.6 billion during July-September as a result of higher  
net assets inflow and favourable market developments, institutional clients     
accounting for EUR 1.8 billion of this growth, OP mutual funds for EUR 1.4      
billion and Pohjola Private client assets for EUR 0.4 billion. The operating    
cost/income ratio improved to 54% (58).                                         


Non-life Insurance                                                              

- Earnings before tax improved to EUR 89 million (73).                          
- The operating balance on technical account rose to EUR 95 million (69).       
- Non-life Insurance recorded very good profitability. The operating combined   
ratio stood at 86.7% (90.0).                                                    
- Developments in insurance premium revenue were characterised by dichotomy,    
given that growth remained vigorous within Private Customers while the recession
cut revenue from corporate customers. Total insurance premium revenue was up by 
2%.                                                                             
- The number of loyal customer households exceeded that of other customers. Over
52% of the loyal customer households are also customers of OP-Pohjola Group     
member cooperative banks.                                                       
- Return on investments at fair value was 9.0% (-2.8).

January-September earnings                                                      

Earnings before tax amounted to EUR 89 million (73). Earnings before tax at fair
value improved by EUR 314 million.                                              

The balance on technical account was better although growth in insurance premium
revenue slowed down due to the recession. The balance on technical account      
before amortisation on intangible assets stood at EUR 95 million (69).          
Favourable developments in the investment market were reflected in return on    
investments at fair value. Net investment income was lower than a year income,  
amounting to EUR 48 million (61), and net investment income at fair value       
reached EUR 205 million (-78).                                                  

The number of loyal customer households exceeded that of other customers for the
first time in Pohjola's history. On 30 September, the number of loyal customer  
households totalled 412,053, showing a year-on-year increase of 8%, and that of 
other customers 409,246. As a whole, the number of households as customers was  
up.                                                                             

More than 52% of Pohjola's loyal customer households have also concentrated     
their banking transactions in OP-Pohjola Group member cooperative banks.        
OP-Pohjola Group member banks' and Helsinki OP Bank's customers can use their OP
bonuses earned through banking transactions to pay Pohjola non-life insurance   
premiums. This year OP bonuses have been used to pay 664,000 insurance premiums,
with 177,500 paid in full using bonuses. Insurance premiums paid using bonuses  
totalled EUR 42 million. The revenue synergies resulting from growth in the     
number of loyal customer households by the end of the reporting period reached  
an annual level of EUR 14 million and the management is targeting EUR 17 million
by the end of 2010.                                                             

Cooperation with OP-Pohjola Group member banks will remain intense. Insurance   
sales to private customers were transferred to Group member banks in October    
2008 with promising results: year on year, non-life insurance policy sales grew 
by 22% in January-September, in comparison with sales recorded by Pohjola's own 
offices. The reporting period saw the sales network strengthen when an          
increasing number of OP-Pohjola Group member banks joined the insurance sales   
network and increased the number of their insurance salespersons.               


Insurance business                                                              

Insurance profitability improved year on year. The operating combined ratio     
stood at 86.7% (90.0).                                                          

Developments in insurance premium revenue were characterised by dichotomy.      
Growth remained strong within Private Customers, based on the OP-Pohjola        
cooperation, whereas insurance premium revenue from Corporate Customer decreased
due to the recession. Total insurance premium revenue improved by 2% to EUR 712 
million (697). Pohjola has strengthened its market position among Private       
Customers in particular.                                                        

Within Private Customers, insurance premium revenue rose by 11% to EUR 320      
million (287). The number of loyal customer households grew by 22,878 (27,087)  
during January-September.                                                       

Within Corporate Customers, insurance premium revenue decreased by 5% to EUR 347
million (367). The most drastic fall was seen in statutory workers' compensation
insurance, considering that payroll bills which determine insurance premiums    
were on the decrease. Falling corporate net sales and profits have also been    
reflected in insurance premiums.                                                

In the Baltic States, insurance premium revenue rose by 2% to EUR 44 million    
(44).                                                                           

As a result of favourable claims developments, claims incurred were lower than a
year ago although strong growth in the private customer insurance portfolio     
added to the number of losses reported. The efficiency of claims settlement and 
the successful utilisation of partnerships, for instance in the form of early   
referral to treatment and cost control, contributed to this favourable          
development. Claims incurred (excl. loss adjustment expenses) amounted to EUR   
414 million (441) and the risk ratio stood at 58.1% (63.4). The reported number 
of major or medium-sized losses (in excess of EUR 0.1 million and over EUR 0.5  
million in pension liabilities) came to 141 (144) in January-September, with    
their claims incurred retained for own account totalling EUR 66 million (57).   

Operating expenses and loss adjustment expenses grew to EUR 204 million (186),  
due mainly to higher sales commissions and product and system development costs.
The cost ratio was 28.6% (26.7).                  

Investment                                                                      

Return on investments at fair value stood at 9.0% (-2.8). Net investment income 
recognised in the income statement amounted to EUR 48 million (61). Dividend    
income and capital gains were lower than a year ago. In addition, impairment    
charges recognised from the fair value reserve in the income statement totalled 
EUR 25 million.                                                                 

On 30 September, the investment portfolio totalled EUR 2,813 million (2,415),   
bonds and bond funds accounting for 78% (82) and listed equities for 8% (4).    
Unlisted capital investments plus the aforementioned equities represented a     
total of 10% (8). The fixed-income portfolio by credit rating remained healthy, 
considering that 82% of the fixed-income instruments were rated at least A-. The
average residual maturity of the fixed-income portfolio was 4.9 years and the   
duration 3.0 years (4.3).                                                       


July-September earnings                                                         

Earnings before tax amounted to EUR 43 million (33). Earnings before tax at fair
value improved by EUR 145 million.                                              

The balance on technical account before amortisation on intangible assets stood 
at EUR 41 million (46).                                                         
Net investment income amounted to EUR 19 million (6) and net investment income  
at fair value reached EUR 102 million (-46).                                    


Insurance business                                                              

Profitability was very good although it was lower than the exceptionally high   
level reported a year ago. The operating combined ratio stood at 83.1% (80.7).  

Growth remained vigorous within Private Customers, the economic recession       
affected the financial performance within Corporate Customers more than before  
and a fall in insurance premium revenue became steeper. As a whole, insurance   
premium revenue remained at the previous year's level, amounting to EUR 241     
million (241).                                                                  

Insurance premium revenue from Private Customers improved by 12% to EUR 113     
million (101). Growth in the number of loyal customer households picked up and  
was greater in the third quarter than a year ago.  In July-September, the number
of loyal customer households increased by 8,730 (7,406) and non-life insurance  
policy sales by Group member banks grew by 33%, in comparison with sales        
recorded by Pohjola's own offices a year ago.                                   

Insurance premium revenue from Corporate Customers dropped by 9% to EUR 113     
million (125).                                                                  

In the Baltic States, insurance premium revenue decreased by 4% to EUR 14       
million (15).                                                                   

Favourable claims developments continued during the third quarter and claims    
incurred were lower than a year ago. Claims incurred (excl. loss adjustment     
expenses) amounted to EUR 131 million (136) and the risk ratio stood at 57.2%   
(56.5). The reported number of major or medium-sized losses (in excess of EUR   
0.1 million and over EUR 0.5 million in pension liabilities) came to 51 (46) in 
July-September, with their claims incurred retained for own account totalling   
EUR 22 million (15).                                                            

Operating expenses and loss adjustment expenses were EUR 69 million (58). Growth
in sales to private customers and higher product and system development costs   
revved up growth in costs. This growth coupled with a slowdown in insurance     
premium revenue weakened the cost ratio, standing at 28.5% (24.2).              

Investment                                                                     

Return on investments at fair value was 4.3% (-1.7) and net investment income   
amounted to EUR 19 million (6).                                                 

Risk exposure by Non-life Insurance                                             

Major risks within Non-life Insurance include underwriting risks associated with
claims developments and market risks associated with investment portfolios      
covering technical provisions.                                                  

On 30 September, Non-life Insurance solvency capital totalled EUR 831 million   
(608) and the ratio of solvency capital to insurance premium revenue (solvency  
ratio) stood at 89% (66).                                                       

Solvency capital increased by EUR 109 million in the third quarter, due to the  
good financial performance reported by investment and insurance business. As a  
result of the excellent balance on technical account, equalisation provision    
increased by EUR 23 million to EUR 407 million in the third quarter.            

Investment risks rose due to the de-hedging of equity derivatives and favourable
market developments in equity investments. Pohjola maintained its interest-rate 
exposure lower than the long-term target.                                       

Moody's downgraded Pohjola Insurance Ltd's rating from A1 to A2 in September,   
due to the deterioration of the Finnish economy.

- Earnings before tax were EUR 68 million higher than in the previous year, or  
EUR 11 million (loss of 57).                                                    
- The reclassification at 2008-end of notes and bonds reduced earnings          
volatility.

- Liquidity and the availability of funding remained at good levels and market  
liquidity has increased during the current year.

January-September earnings              

Earnings before tax totalled EUR 11 million (-57), which were EUR 68 million    
higher than a year ago. Reported expenses grew by EUR 1 million on a            
like-for-like basis. This performance improvement was partly resulted from      
success investment operations of the liquidity reserve portfolio and a change in
accounting practice at the end of 2008, i.e. some notes and bonds included in   
the liquidity reserve portfolio were reclassified in such a way that they are   
carried at amortised cost and changes in their fair value are not recognised    
through profit or loss. On 30 September, the carrying amount of the reclassified
notes and bonds came to EUR 3.1 billion.                                        

The reclassification was reflected in higher year-on-year net trading income and
net interest income. The positive price difference between the nominal value and
the acquisition value, arising from the reclassification, recognised for        
January-September totalled EUR 20 million, of which EUR 17 million was          
recognised in the Group Functions' net interest income and EUR 3 million in     
Banking.                                                                        

January-September results included EUR 11 million (1) in impairment charges on  
bonds. In addition, impairments recognised on shares and participations included
in available-for-sale financial assets totalled EUR 4 million.                  

Liquidity and the availability of funding remained good and market liquidity has
increased during the current year. Debt instruments issued to the public        
increased to EUR 16 billion (14), with commercial papers and Euro Commercial    
Papers accounting for EUR 9 billion (10).                                       

Pohjola Bank plc's net receivables from OP-Pohjola Group member banks rose to   
EUR 2.4 billion (-0.2).                                                         

July-September earnings                                  

Reported earnings before tax were the best quarterly earnings this year,        
amounting to EUR 16 million, and EUR 33 million higher than in the previous     
year. Net interest income from notes and bonds included in the liquidity reserve
portfolio contributed to higher net income. The positive price difference       
between the nominal value and acquisition value of reclassified notes and bonds 
within the liquidity reserve portfolio recognised in net interest income        
totalled EUR 5 million.                                                         

Impairment charges recognised on notes and bonds totalled EUR 2 million (3).    

Pohjola increased its long-term funding by issuing in August a EUR 750-million  
floating rate senior bond with a maturity of three years.                       

Risk exposure by Group Functions                                                

Major risks within the Group Functions include those associated with the fair   
value change of the liquidity reserve portfolio and liquidity risks.            

The Group Functions exposure totalled EUR 15.8 billion (13.8), consisting of the
liquidity reserve portfolio and receivables from OP-Pohjola Group member banks. 
Almost all of the exposure was based on investment-grade counterparties.        

The Group Functions maintains the liquidity reserve portfolio in order to secure
OP-Pohjola Group's liquidity. The liquidity reserve portfolio amounted to EUR   
9.5 billion (9.8), invested primarily in notes and bonds issued by governments, 
municipalities, financial institutions and companies all showing good credit    
ratings, and in securitised assets.                                             

Interest rate risk exposure averaged EUR 4.2 million in the third quarter and   
EUR 6.5 million in January-September, based on the 1-percentage-point change in 
the interest rate.                                                              


Shares and shareholders                                               

On 30 September 2009, the number of Pohjola Bank plc shares totalled 319,551,415
and votes conferred by the shares 593,178,315. On the same date, the number of  
Series A shares quoted on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd totalled 251 million,         
representing 78.6% of all Pohjola shares and 42.3% of all votes. The number of  
Series K shares totalled around 68 million.                                     

In January-September, 138 million shares changed hands, as against 92 million a 
year ago.                                                                       

On 30 September, one Series A share closed at EUR 7.80, as against EUR 7.88 at  
the end of 2008.                                                                
In January-September, the share price reached a high of EUR 9.31 and a low of   
EUR 3.80.                                                                       

On 30 September, Pohjola Bank had 35,099 shareholders, increasing by 4,507 from 
the beginning of 2009, private individuals accounting for 95% of all            
shareholders. The largest shareholder was OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative, 
representing 29.98% of shares and 57.04% of votes. On 30 September,             
nominee-registered shares accounted for 18.7% of all Series A shares.           


Events after the reporting period                                               

At its meeting on 5 November 2009, Pohjola Bank plc's Board of Directors decided
to strengthen the Group's CRM organisations by adopting a CRM organisation      
shared by Banking and Non-life Insurance at the beginning of 2010. At the Group 
Executive Committee level, Reima Rytsölä will be in charge of major corporate   
and institutional customers and Tomi Yli-Kyyny of private customers and SMEs.   
The creation of the CRM organisations will not have an effect on the reporting  
business segments. In addition to new customers, Mr Rytsölä will remain in      
charge of Banking and Mr Yli-Kyyny of Non-life Insurance, both reporting to     President and CEO Mikael Silvennoinen. Through the creation of these CRM        
organisations, Pohjola seeks more customer-focused operations in the provision  
of comprehensive financial services.                                            
Outlook towards the year end                                                    

Stimulus measures taken by central banks and governments increased confidence in
global financial markets. Capital markets also improved their performance and   
equity and credit risk markets in particular strengthened their performance     
markedly compared with the situation in early 2009. The world economy continued 
its gradual recovery when the Chinese and US economies rebounded, and the euro  
area economy is also showing some signs of stabilisation and rebound. The       
Finnish economy saw signs of stabilisation in the third quarter but growth      
prospects towards the year end still look weak. Major uncertainties are still   
associated with global economic growth and the gradual withdrawal of public     
support.                                                                        

Within Banking, demand for loans and guarantees contracted from its 2008 level  
and the average margin on corporate loans rose. On the basis of the economic    
outlook, demand for loans and guarantees is expected to remain subdued during   
the rest of the year, with the focus on working capital and the refinancing of  
existing loans. It is estimated that the average corporate loan portfolio margin
will continue to rise during the rest of the year although the margin on new    
loans is anticipated to take a turn downwards.  Fourth-quarter impairment       
charges are expected to be at the same level as in the previous quarters. Within
Banking, 2009 earnings before tax are estimated to be at the same level as in   
2008 if impairment charges do not rise to unexpectedly high levels during the   
fourth quarter.                                                                 

Within Asset Management, assets under management continued to increase, thanks  
to favourable developments in investment markets and new sales. Assets under    
management are expected to be considerably larger at the end of 2009 than at the
end of 2008. Asset Management expects its earnings before tax in 2009 to be     
better than in 2008 if no major changes occur in the investment market during   
the fourth quarter. Asset Management's earnings before tax will be largely      
dependent on the amount of assets under management and the actual               
performance-based fees tied to the success of investments.                      

Within Non-life Insurance, insurance premium revenue is expected to grow at     
above-the-market-average rate in 2009, thanks to the growing number of private  
customers, but to grow less than in 2008, especially with respect to corporate  
customers. The recession has reduced Non-life Insurance claims expenditure. In  
Non-life Insurance, the operating combined ratio for 2009 is estimated to vary  
between 87% and 91% (previously between 88% and 93%) if the number of major     
losses in the fourth quarter is not much larger than in the previous year.      
Non-life Insurance expects its earnings before tax in 2009 be markedly higher   
than in 2008. The most significant uncertainties associated with its financial  
performance pertain to investment market developments and the effect of major   
losses on claims expenditure.                                                   

The reclassification in the second half of 2008 of long-term notes and bonds,   
included in liquidity reserves, will mitigate the effects of the financial      
crisis on the financial result of the Group Functions. The key determinants     
affecting the Group Functions' result include net interest income arising from  
the liquidity reserve portfolio and any fair value changes recognised on notes  
and bonds through profit or loss.                                               

Consolidated earnings for 2009 before tax are expected to be roughly double the 
amount compared with those in 2008. The greatest uncertainty associated with the
year-end outlook relates to developments in impairment charges.                 

All forward-looking statements in this report expressing the management's       
expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions are    
based on the current view of the future financial performance of Pohjola Group  
and its various functions, and actual results may differ materially from those  
expressed in the forward-looking statements.

the extent applicable. The ratios are calculated using expenses by function

*Assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for  
trading, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at inception and 
investment property.                                                            
** Non-life Insurance assets are specified in Note 11.                          
*** On 30 September 2009, notes and bonds included EUR 46 million (43) in notes 
and bonds recognised using the fair value option.                               

Debt securities issued to the public are carried at amortised cost. On 30       
September 2009, the fair value of these debt instruments was approximately EUR  
20 million lower than their carrying amount, based on information available in  
markets and employing commonly used valuation techniques. Subordinated          
liabilities are carried at amortised cost. Their fair value are substantilly    
lower than their carrying amount, but determining fair values realiably is      
difficult in the current market situation.
