(-0.6). Non-life Insurance showed lower earnings before tax as a result of lower
investment income recognised in the income statement.

1) Comparatives deriving from the income statement are based on figures reported
for the corresponding period a year ago. Unless otherwise specified,            
balance-sheet and other cross-sectional figures on 31 December 2008 are used as 
comparatives.                                                                   

President and CEO Mikael Silvennoinen:                                          "Pohjola Group's financial performance in the first quarter was better than a   
year ago. Net interest income, net commissions and fees and net trading income  
developed favourably, with the result that Banking reported excellent financial 
performance. In line with our previous expectations, growth in the loan and     
guarantee portfolio slowed down as a result of waning investment demand, and the
average margin on corporate loans continued to rise. Impairments on receivables 
increased in comparison with their exceptionally low level a year ago but were  
in line with those recorded for the fourth quarter of 2008. Doubtful receivables
also increased during the reporting period but remained low relative to the loan
and guarantee portfolio. The Group's liquidity position is strong and short-term
funding has performed well despite the financial crisis.                        

During the first quarter, growth in insurance premium revenue slowed down but   
the balance on technical account and the combined ratio made good progress.     
Non-life Insurance investment income at fair value was slightly negative but    
somewhat better than a year ago. As a result of lower dividends and capital     
gains than a year ago and impairments recognised from the fair value reserve in 
the income statement, net investment income in the Non-life Insurance income    
statement was significantly lower than in the previous year.                    

Following the reporting period, we strengthened our capital base through a EUR  
308-million rights issue. With over 28,000 shareholders subscribing for shares  
offered, the issue was oversubscribed. I am very pleased with the outcome of    
this issue and the trust shown in us by our shareholders. The capital raised    
through the issue will further secure our ability to provide credit to our      
clients and prepare for the economic downturn underway. The Group will, thanks  
to its strong capital base, have good potential for capitalising on any opening 
business opportunities and strengthening its position as a leading financial    
services provider in Finland."


Operating environment                                                           

The global economic outlook continued to weaken during the first half of 2009.  
US output has fallen sharply and Asia has experienced a major slowdown in       
growth. With the ever-weakening situation in the real economy, growth forecasts 
for both the euro area and Finland were revised down markedly. The economic     
outlook is expected to improve towards the year end at the earliest mainly      
because the US economy is predicted to move into recovery.                      

Monetary stimulus has been used as a weapon and many governments have           
established stimulus packages in support of economic growth. In early April, the
ECB cut its benchmark interest rate to 1.25%, the lowest rate since the adoption
of the euro. Short-term interest rates in the euro area have continued their    
downward trend during the first few months of the year.                         

Risk premiums in the corporate loan market showed a major rise in the first     
quarter, heralding a marked increase in payment defaults in 2009, with          
expectations of companies' weaker profit performance coupled with low risk      
appetite lying behind these developments. Fears of new writedowns in the banking
sector have also affected risk appetite. From the corporate perspective, higher credit risk premiums have been compensated by lower interest rates, which has   
contributed to dampening growth in financing costs.                             

Prospects for equity markets still look uncertain. Companies have revised down  
their profit forecasts, which has had an adverse effect on equity-market        
developments. However, March saw a pinch of optimism when major stock indices   
began to recover. This improvement suggested enhanced expectations that the     
worst could already be past.                                                    

Business slowdown in the corporate sector has restrained premiums written within
Non-life Insurance. On the other hand, however, this slowdown has also reduced  
the risk level and thus improved Non-life Insurance profitability.

Consolidated net income rose by 19% to EUR 158 million (133).                   

Net interest income came to EUR 52 million (35), up by 47% year on year.  This  
improvement had its roots in the credit portfolio and lending margins that grew 
vigorously throughout 2008. The price difference recognised on reclassified     
notes and bonds increased net interest income by EUR 8 million.                 

Impairments of receivables rose by EUR 23 million year on year to EUR 21        
million, remaining at the same level as in the fourth quarter of 2008.          

Within Non-life Insurance, net income fell by EUR 21 million. The balance on    
technical account improved by EUR 17 million to EUR 14 million (-3), but net    
investment income recognised in the income statement was almost EUR 40 million  
lower than in the previous year. Dividend income and capital gains were lower   
than in the previous year and impairments recognised from the fair value reserve
in the income statement totalled EUR 16 million. Growth in the insurance premium
revenue slowed down to 5%, totalling EUR 231 million (220). Owing to favourable 
claims developments, claims incurred went down and profitability based on the   
balance on technical account was good, with the operating combined ratio        
standing at 91.3% (98.2).                                                       

Net commissions and fees amounted to EUR 30 million, remaining almost at the    
previous year's level (32). Commissions from loans showed a strong increase     
whereas those from asset management and securities brokerage declined.          

Net trading income came to EUR 25 million (-44), showing a year-on-year         
improvement of EUR 68 million. Derivative and bond trading grew vigorously and  
income was on the rise.  Negative mark-to-market valuations recognised a year   
ago in the income statement from liquidity reserves totalled EUR 49 million.    

Net investment income decreased by EUR 14 million being EUR 9 million in the    
red, due to adjustments for property acquisition costs, impairment charges for  
equities and lower dividend income than a year ago.                             

Expenses rose by 6% to EUR 122 million (115). Excluding a EUR 2-million increase
in deprecation on leases, expenses rose by 4%. Growth in expenses slowed down   
over the previous year. The number of Group employees increased by 55 from 31   
December 2008. Agency fees and sales commissions rose by EUR 4 million as a     
result of Pohjola's insurance field staff joining the payroll of OP-Pohjola     
Group member banks on 1 October 2008.                                           

Earnings before tax amounted to EUR 36 million, or EUR 19 million higher than a 
year ago.                                                                       

The fair value reserve increased by EUR 4 million, whereas it decreased by EUR  
66 million during the same period a year ago. Impairments recognised from the   
fair value reserve in the income statement totalled EUR 20 million.             

Earnings before tax at fair value were EUR 41 million (-48).                    


Group risk exposure                                                             

The effects of the financial crisis were still felt in investment income        
generated by Non-life Insurance and in the mark-to-market valuations of the     
Group's liquidity reserves. In addition, the spread of the financial crisis to  
the real economy was reflected in customer companies' lower credit rating and   
growth in doubtful receivables and impairments. However, investment-grade       
exposures continued to remain at good levels and the ratio of doubtful          
receivables to the loan and guarantee portfolio remained at a low level.        

The financial position and liquidity remained strong despite the market         
situation. Short-term funding has performed well and long-term funding markets  
have also shown signs of recovery. Pohjola has the opportunity to use Finnish   
state guarantee in its funding, if necessary.                                   

Pohjola Bank plc maintains OP-Pohjola Group's liquidity reserves which mainly   
consist of notes and bonds eligible as collateral for central bank refinancing. 
Liquidity reserves totalled EUR 8.8 billion (9.8) on 31 March. These liquidity  
reserves plus items included in OP-Pohjola Group's balance sheet comprise the 
liquidity reserve eligible for central bank refinancing, which can be used to   
cover OP-Pohjola Group's wholesale funding maturities for some 24 months.       

Determining the value of the financial assets included in the liquidity reserve 
is based on mark-to-market valuations and the Group has not applied its own     
valuation models, despite the illiquid market. Nor has the Group measured any   
debt securities issued to the public at fair value. Impairments recognised from 
the liquidity reserves during the first quarter totalled EUR 10 million, based  
on lower credit ratings for receivables. Within Non-life Insurance, the         
first-quarter return on the investment portfolio at fair value stood at -0.4%.  

Despite the difficult market situation, the Group's risk exposure remained      
favourable although doubtful receivables and impairments increased in line with 
expectations. Net credit losses and impairments for January-March totalled EUR  
21 million (-2). Doubtful receivables rose by EUR 15 million to EUR 50 million  
and their ratio to the loan and guarantee portfolio stood at 0.35% (0.25). The  
prolonged uncertainty in the global financial market and its effects spreading  
to the real economy will increase doubtful receivables and impairments from     
their current low levels.                                                       


Capital adequacy                                                                

The capital adequacy ratio continued to remain strong, standing at 11.5% (11.7) 
as against the statutory minimum requirement of 8%. The Tier 1 ratio was 9.4%   
(9.4).                                                                          

Tier 1 capital came to EUR 1,230 million (1,228) and the total capital base     
amounted to EUR 1,500 million (1,530). The minimum regulatory capital           
requirement to cover market risk amounted to EUR 34 million (47). Pohjola       
strengthened its capital base through a rights issue of EUR 308 million, which  
is explained in greater detail under "Events after the reporting period".       

On 31 March, risk-weighted assets totalled EUR 13,081 million, as against EUR   
13,120 million on 31 December 2008. When comparing risk-weighted assets with    
those at the end of last year based on figures excluding transitional rules,    
they rose by EUR 297 million, due to lower corporate credit ratings.            


Credit ratings                                                                  

Pohjola Bank plc's credit ratings are as follows:

Both Fitch and Standard & Poor's have confirmed a stable credit rating outlook  
for Pohjola Bank plc, but Moody's put Pohjola on its watchlist on 15 April 2009.


Financial targets and actuals                                                   

Pohjola Group updated its financial targets: The minimum Tier 1 ratio target was
revised up from 8.5% to 9.5% over the economic cycle and the return on equity   
(ROE) was revised down from 15% to 13% over the economic cycle. At the same     
time, Pohjola decided not to state any target for the operating ROE and to set  
its financial targets over the cycle, as against the previous targets set by the
end of 2010.

- Earnings before tax doubled to EUR 50 million (25).                           
- A sharp fall in interest rates had a favourable effect on derivatives trading 
and results.

- Due to the economic recession, impairments and doubtful receivables increased 
in line with expectations.                                                      
- Growth in the loan and guarantee portfolio came to a standstill but the market
share of corporate loans remained at the year-end level of 19%.                 
- The average margin on corporate loans continued to rise.

Banking reported excellent earnings before tax during the first quarter although
the economic recession was already reflected in some sectors and a reduction in 
customer companies' capital expenditure subdued borrowing demand. The loan      
portfolio decreased by 3% from its level at the end of 2008, standing at EUR    
11.5 billion on 31 March, and increased by EUR 0.7 billion in the year to March,
or almost 7%. The reduction in the loan portfolio was partly compensated by the 
doubling of finance guarantees to one billion euros within the last 12 months,  
which was due to employee pension loan guarantees (under the Employees Pensions 
Act) that began to increase at the end of last year.                            

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

Net commissions and fees showed irregular developments. Commission income from  
loans were over EUR 2 million higher than a year ago, commission income from    
guarantees rose by one million euros and other commissions and fees remained the
same or decreased.                                                              

More active bond markets and successful risk exposure management in the         
derivatives business in particular increased net trading income, and income from
trading for the first quarter more than tripled year on year. This good result  
was partly thanks to stabilising bond markets and narrowing credit spreads in   
comparison with the situation at the end of 2008.                               

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 9 million year on year. The price difference between the nominal value   
and the acquisition value arising from the reclassification recognised in the   
income statement totalled EUR 1 million.                                        

Expenses increased by EUR 4 million, with depreciation on leases accounting for 
less than EUR 2 million. The cost/income ratio improved considerably.           

Risk exposure by Banking                                                        

During January-March, total exposure fell by EUR 0.25 billion to EUR 20.4       
billion. The ratio of investment-grade exposure - i.e. ratings 1-5 - to total   
exposure, excluding private customers, remained at a healthy level, standing at 
66% (68), the share of ratings 11-12 was 0.7% (0.6) and that of non-rated       
exposure 1% (1). Of corporate exposure (including housing corporations), the    
share of investment-grade corporate exposure came to 60% (62). The exposure of  
the lowest two rating categories (including housing corporations) stood at EUR  
140 million (108), accounting for 0.9% (0.7) of the total corporate exposure    

Significant customer exposure rose to EUR 4.7 billion (4.4). The ratio of       
doubtful receivables to the loan and guarantee portfolio rose but continued to  
remain low, standing at EUR 48 million (35), or 0.34% (0.25). Past due payments 
came to EUR 25 million (32), representing 0.17% (0.22) of the loan and guarantee
portfolio. Net credit losses and impairments reduced January-March results by   
EUR 12 million (1).                                                             

Baltic Banking exposures totalled EUR 114 million, accounting for less than 1%  
of the loan and guarantee portfolio.                              

In view of the market situation, the Group utilised changes in the yield curve  
but kept overall market risks at a moderate level.                              

Asset Management                                                                

- Earnings before tax fell to EUR 2 million (3).                                
- Assets under management totalled EUR 24.9 billion (25.3).                     
- First-quarter net subscriptions were slightly positive.                       
- Drastic swings continued in investment markets, positive returns recorded for 
several asset classes.

Earnings before tax for January-March amounted to EUR 2 million (3). Net        
commissions and fees decreased by 20% year on year, due mainly to plummeting    
equity markets. Personnel costs fell by 6% to EUR 4 million. The operating      
cost/income ratio stood at 68% (61).                                            
On 31 March, assets under management totalled EUR 24.9 billion (25.3),          
institutional clients accounting for EUR 16.0 billion (16.0), OP mutual funds   
for EUR 8.2 billion (8.5) and Pohjola Private for EUR 0.8 billion (0.7). Assets 
under management decreased by one per cent from their level at the beginning of 
January 2009. Money-market fund redemptions continued to contribute to this     
fall.  

Pohjola Asset Management underweighted equities in its investment portfolios in 
2008 but brought back its underweight towards neutral during the first quarter. 

Risk exposure by Asset Management                                               

Weaker investment markets reduced assets managed by Asset Management, which is  
partly reflected in accrued net commissions and fees. In other respects, risk   
exposure remained favourable.                                                   

Non-life Insurance                                                              

- Non-life Insurance reported a pre-tax loss of EUR 1 million, showing a        
year-on-year fall of EUR 23 million, but its earnings before tax at fair value  
improved by EUR 33 million.                                                     
- The operating combined ratio stood at 91.3% (98.2).                           
- Insurance premium revenue was up by 5%.                                       
- The number of loyal customer households increased by 9% year on year.         
- Return on investments at fair value was -0.4%.

Non-life Insurance recorded a pre-tax loss of EUR 1 million (earnings of EUR 22 
million) as net investment income was negative. Earnings before tax at fair     
value improved by EUR 33 million.                                               

Insurance premium revenue continued to grow and the balance on technical account
showed a major improvement. The difficult investment market situation affected  
investment income. The balance on technical account before amortisation on      
intangible assets stood at EUR 20 million (4) and net investment income was EUR 
-2 million (38).                                                                

On 31 March, the number of loyal customer households totalled over 395,000,     
showing a year-on-year increase of 9%. More than 50% of Pohjola's loyal customer
households have also concentrated their banking transactions in OP-Pohjola Group
member cooperative banks. The revenue synergies resulting from growth in the    
number of loyal customer households by the end of the financial year reached an 
annual level of EUR 13 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 17% in January-March, in comparison with sales performed by Pohjola's own    
offices. During the current year, at least 17 new OP-Pohjola Group member banks 
will begin to sell non-life insurance policies.                                 


Insurance business                                                              

Insurance premium revenue rose by 5% to EUR 231 million (220).                  

Growth remained vigorous within Private Customers, insurance premium revenue    
improving by 12% to EUR 98 million (87). The number of loyal customer households
grew by 5,925 (8,809) during the reporting period.                              

Within Corporate Customers, the economic recession slowed down growth and       
insurance premium revenue remained at the previous year's level, amounting to   
EUR 118 million (118).                                                          

In the Baltic States, insurance premium revenue rose by 2% to EUR 15 million    
(15).                                                                           

As a result of favourable claims developments, claims incurred were lower than a
year ago although the increased 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 147 million (156) and 
the risk ratio stood at 62.7 (70.0). The reported number of major or            
medium-sized losses (in excess of EUR 0.1 million and over EUR 0.5 in pension   
liabilities) came to 50 (50), with their claims incurred retained for own       
account totalling EUR 22 million (20).                                          

Operating expenses and loss adjustment expenses grew to EUR 63 million (60), due
mainly to higher sales costs. The cost ratio was 28.6 (28.2).                   

Profitability improved significantly within insurance operations. The operating 
combined ratio stood at 91.3% (98.2).                                           


Investment                                                                      

The investment portfolio of Non-life Insurance totalled EUR 2,546 million       
(2,415) on 31 March and its equity allocation remained almost unchanged. Of the 
investment portfolio, bonds and bond funds accounted for 83% (82), listed       
equities for 4% (4) and equities, including unlisted investments, represented 7%
(8). The fixed-income portfolio by credit rating remained healthy, given that   
82% of the fixed-income instruments were rated at least A-. The average residual
maturity of the fixed-income portfolio was 4.6 years and the duration 3.4 years 
(4.3).                                                                          

The investment market situation remained challenging. Net investment income     
recognised in the income statement was EUR -2 million (38). Dividend income and 
capital gains were lower than in the previous year and impairments recognised   
from the fair value reserve in the income statement totalled EUR 16 million.    
Return on investments at fair value was -0.4% (-0.6).                           


Risk exposure by Non-life Insurance                                             

No major changes occurred in Non-life Insurance risk exposure. On 31 March,     
Non-life Insurance solvency capital came to EUR 627 million (608) and the ratio 
of solvency capital to insurance premium revenue (solvency ratio) stood at 67%  
(66).                                                                           

As a result of the weak investment performance, the solvency margin of the      
insurance companies decreased and Pohjola Bank plc capitalised its subsidiaries 
by EUR 20 million during the reporting period. On the other hand, as a result of
the good balance on technical account, equalisation provision increased by EUR 5
million to EUR 367 million.                                                     




Group Functions                                                                 

- Pre-tax loss came to EUR 14 million (a loss of EUR 34 million), showing a     
year-on-year improvement of EUR 20 million.                                     
- Reclassifications reduced earnings volatility.                                
- Impairments recognised on bonds totalled EUR 10 million (0).                  
- Liquidity and the availability of funding remained at good levels.

Pre-tax loss amounted to EUR 14 million (a loss of EUR 34 million). This EUR    
20-million year-on-year improvement partly resulted from a change in accounting 
practice at the end of 2008, i.e. some notes and bonds included in liquidity    
reserves 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. The  
reclassification is reflected in higher year-on-year net trading income and net 
interest income. On 31 March, the carrying amount of the reclassified notes and 
bonds came to EUR 3.6 billion and the related interest income totalled EUR 27   
million. The positive price difference between the nominal value and the        
acquisition value, arising from the reclassification, recognised for the first  
quarter totalled EUR 8 million.                                                 

The first-quarter results included EUR 10 million in impairments 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 at good levels. Debt         
instruments issued to the public increased to EUR 16 billion (14), with         
commercial papers and Euro Commercial Papers accounting for EUR 11 billion (10).

Pohjola Bank plc's net receivables from OP-Pohjola Group member banks rose by   
EUR 0.5 billion from their 2008-end levels.                                     

Risk exposure by Group Functions                                                

The Group Functions exposure totalled EUR 13.4 billion (13.8), consisting of the
liquidity reserve 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 in order to secure          
OP-Pohjola Group's liquidity. Liquidity reserves amounted to EUR 8.8 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.                                             
Decisions by the Annual General Meeting                                         

Pohjola Bank plc's Annual General Meeting (AGM) of 27 March 2009 adopted the    
Financial Statements for 2008, discharged members of the Board of Directors and 
the President and CEO from liability and decided to distribute a dividend of EUR
0.23 per Series A share and EUR 0.20 per Series K share. The AGM confirmed the  
number of members of the Board of Directors at eight and approved the Board's   
revised proposal to authorise the Company's Board of Directors to decide on one 
rights issue.

The Risk Management Committee comprises Tony Vepsäläinen (Chairman), President;

Shares and shareholders                                                         

On 31 March 2009, the number of Pohjola Bank plc Series A shares quoted on the  
NASDAQ OMX Helsinki totalled 159.6 million, accounting for 78.5% of all Pohjola 
shares and 42.2% of votes. The number of Series K shares totalled around 43.8   
million.                                                 

On 31 March, one Series A share closed at EUR 4.44, as against EUR 9.75 at the  
end of 2008. In January-March, the share price reached a high of EUR 11.52 and a
low of EUR 4.40 while roughly 40.7 million shares changed hands, compared with  
39.3 million a year ago.                                                        

On 31 March, Pohjola Bank plc had 33,110 shareholders, increasing by 2,518 from 
the beginning of the year, private individuals accounting for around 95% of all 
shareholders. The holdings of major shareholders did not undergo any significant
changes. The largest shareholder was OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative,      
representing 29.9% of shares and 56.9% of votes. On 31 March, nominee-registered
shares accounted for 19.3% (22.2) of all Series A shares.                       

Events after the reporting period                                               

On the basis of the authorisation given by the AGM of 27 March 2009 to the Board
of Directors, Pohjola held a rights issue of EUR 307.9 million between 7 and 24 
April 2009, which was oversubscribed. Approximately 99.6% of all Series A shares
offered and approximately 100.0% of all series K shares offered were subscribed 
in the primary subscription. Given the secondary subscriptions, this represents 
a total subscription level of approximately 127.4% of all Series A shares       
offered and approximately 110.6% of all series K shares offered. Accordingly,   
the Central Cooperative did not have to underwrite the issue.                   

A total of up to 91,179,502 new Series A shares and a total of up to 25,021,013 
new Series K shares were subscribed in the rights issue. The new shares were    
registered with the Trade Register on 4 May 2009 and trading in the registered  
new Series A shares together with the existing Series A shares began on NASDAQ  
OMX Helsinki Ltd on 5 May 2009. Following the registration of the new shares,   
the number of Pohjola shares totals 319,551,415, with the listed Series A shares
accounting for 250,743,530 and the non-listed Series K shares for 68,807,785. At
General Meetings, each Series A share entitles its holder to one (1) vote and   
each Series K share entitles its holder to five (5) votes. The new shares       
include the right to dividends and other distributions as well as other         
shareholder rights as of the registration date of 4 May 2009.                   

The capital raised through the rights issue was entered in full in the reserve  
for invested non-restricted equity, enhancing the Groups' Tier 1 ratio from 9.4%
to 11.7% (pro forma on 31 March 2009). The capital raised will further secure   
Pohjola's ability to provide credit to its clients and prepare for the economic 
downturn underway.                                                              

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. The maximum redemption of Tier 2 instruments of EUR 150 million 
would decrease the capital adequacy ratio of 11.5% on 31 March 2009, based on   
transitional rules under the Basel II framework, by around 1.2 percentage points
if any gains that may arise from the redemption are not taken into account in   
Tier 1 capital.                                                                 


Outlook towards the year end                                                    

The global economic outlook has deteriorated apace. The USA, major EU countries 
and Finland are in recession. Falling GDP, exports and capital spending are     
expected to slow down growth in the loan portfolio experienced in 2008 and      
increase corporate payment defaults, bankruptcies and unemployment. Central     
banks and governments are expected to continue with their revival measures,     
which are anticipated to gradually enhance the performance of financial markets 
and the supply of finance. However, mounting national, financial institutions'  
and corporate debt is anticipated to reflect in credit ratings. Uncertainty is  
expected to continue in the global financial market and maintain average credit 
spreads above the average level of previous years. Uncertainty is also expected 
to continue in capital markets, which will maintain high price volatility in    
credit risk, equity, bond, currency and commodity markets.                      

On the basis of the economic outlook, demand for loans and guarantees within    
Banking is expected to slow down relative to 2008 and the average margin on     
corporate loans to rise. It is estimated that during the current year corporate 
financing needs will focus on working capital and the refinancing of existing   
loans. Corporate payment defaults, doubtful receivables and impairment charges  
are anticipated to increase from their 2008 levels, despite the current loan    
portfolio's good quality, but their amounts are difficult to predict. The       
greatest uncertainties related to Banking's financial performance in 2009 are   
associated with impairments on the loan portfolio.                              

In 2008, assets in money-market funds were transferred to deposit accounts and  
prices in the equity market fell sharply. As a result, Asset Management         
experienced a reduction in assets under its management. Assets under management 
are not expected to decline in 2009 at the same rate as witnessed in 2008.      
Developments and sales performance in the investment market will have an effect 
on the amount of assets under management. Asset Management's earnings before tax
in 2009 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, premium revenue is expected to grow at               
above-the-market-average rate in 2009, thanks to the growing number of loyal    
customers, but to grow less than in 2008, especially with respect to corporate  
customers. The recession has historically slowed down growth in Non-life        
Insurance claims expenditure. In Non-life Insurance, the operating combined     
ratio is estimated to vary between 88% and 93% (previously 90-95%) if the number
of major losses is not much larger than in 2008. The first-quarter return on    
investment at fair value stood at -0.4%. Returns for the full year 2009 will    
depend on developments in investment markets.                                   

The reclassification of long-term notes and bonds, included in liquidity        
reserves, in the second half of 2008 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  
liquidity reserves and any fair value changes recognised on notes and bonds     
through profit or loss.                                                         

There is great uncertainty about economic prospects and the operating           
environment. Should the forward-looking statements and assumptions about the    
near-term outlook come true, the main risks involved are associated with        
developments in credit spreads, interest rates, share prices, impairments and   
developments in funding costs, as well as the general operating environment.    
Although developments in the general operating environment are beyond the Group 
management's control, the management may contribute to the effects of           
interest-rate changes and the equity market on investment and trading by        
carefully selecting investment assets, diversifying risks, promoting its        
personnel's professional skills and managing risks effectively. In addition, the
management may contribute to the appropriate selection and pricing of           
customer-specific risk and, consequently, the Group's financial performance.    

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.

*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 31 March 2009, notes and bonds included EUR 43 million (43) in notes and 
bonds recognised using the fair value option.                                   

Debt securities issued to the public are carried at amortised cost. On 31 March 
2009, the fair value of these debt instruments was approximately EUR 110 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.
