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

January-June                                                                    
- Earnings before tax improved year on year, coming to EUR 123 million (71).    
- Earnings before tax at fair value amounted to EUR 227 million (-28) and return
on equity at fair value was 18.3% (-2.4).                                       
- Banking improved its profit performance despite higher impairment charges.    
- Within Asset Management, assets under management rebounded, totalling EUR 27.8
billion (25.3).                                                                 
- Non-life Insurance reported an excellent balance on technical account and     
recorded an operating combined ratio of 88.6% (95.0). Return on investment at   
fair value rose to 4.5% (-1.2).                                                 
- Outlook: earnings before tax in 2009 are expected to be markedly higher than  
in 2008. The greatest uncertainty associated with the outlook for the rest of   
the year relates to developments in impairment charges. If our corporate        
customers' operating environment continues to deteriorate, impairment charges in
the second half may be higher than in the first (more detailed information on   
outlook in" Outlook towards the year end" below).                               

April-June                                                                      
- Earnings before tax amounted to EUR 87 million (54).                          
- Earnings before tax at fair value were EUR 186 million (20).                  
- Impairment charges on receivables burdened Banking earnings by EUR 33 million.
- Within Asset Management, assets under management grew by almost EUR 3 billion.
- Non-life Insurance reported an operating combined ratio of 86.0% (91.9) and   
return on investments of 4.9% (-0.6).                                           
- The capital base strengthened as a result of the EUR 308 million rights issue.

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:                                          "The Group's financial performance for January-June was markedly better than a  
year ago and the second-quarter results were excellent.  Net interest income,   
net commissions and fees and net trading income developed favourably, with the  
result that Banking improved its first-half financial performance year on year, 
although impairment charges rose as expected. The loan and guarantee portfolio  
decreased slightly as a result of a recovery in capital markets and milder      
demand for loans. The average margin on corporate loans continued to rise,      
compensating for an increase in funding costs and costs due to credit risks.    

Non-life Insurance balance on technical account was excellent, reaching an      
all-time high. Growth in insurance premium revenue slowed down due to a decrease
in premium revenue from corporate customers. However, insurance premium revenue 
from private customers continued its vigorous growth and the number of loyal    
customer households exceeded the mark of 400,000 households. Non-life Insurance 
return on investments at fair value developed favourably. Thanks to positive    
developments in capital markets and higher net assets inflow, assets under      
management increased by 10% from the year-start level.                          

The Group's liquidity position is strong and funding has performed well. The EUR
308 million rights issue in the second quarter strengthened our capital base    
further. Our business lines' good financial performance and strong capital base 
will further secure our ability to provide credit to our clients during the     
recession too. The Group will have good potential for capitalising on any       
opening business opportunities and strengthening its position further as a      
leading financial services provider in Finland."


Operating environment                                                           

After its steep deterioration during the first quarter, the world economy showed
some signs of stabilisation during the second quarter. Along with aggressive    
monetary and fiscal policy measures, growth forecasts for China and the USA in  
particular were revised up. Growth forecasts for Europe's and Finland's economy 
for this and next year were revised down. GDP in both the whole of Europe and   
Finland is expected to continue its downward trend, with exports, capital       
spending and consumer spending decreasing and unemployment rising. Extensive    
stimulus packages, first adopted by the United States and then by others, are   
forecast to improve prospects for the rest of the year.                         

Central banks have aimed to fight the recession by relaxing their monetary      
policy further. In May, the European Central Bank (ECB) cut its benchmark       
interest rate to 1.0% and has continued to provide liquidity to the banking     
system. In June, the ECB granted banks 12-month loans based on its benchmark    
rate for the first time. These measures have calmed down financial markets. Risk
premiums continued to narrow during the second quarter and short-term market    
rates hit an all-time low.                                                      

The second quarter saw an adjustment in corporate bond markets when risk        
premiums fell sharply. In particular, the risk premiums of riskier companies and
banks dropped when markets lowered their expectations of future payment         
defaults. Key factors underlying this adjustment can be seen to relate to       
government support for the market through stimulus packages, absence of         
alternative investments and companies venturing to issue debt instruments.      

During the second quarter, share prices rebounded strongly from their low in    
March.  Equity markets have stabilised since their rapid rebound but are        
expected to remain unstable. Equity market prices predict that the economy will 
see a strong recovery towards the end of the year.                              

The recession has resulted in an increase in corporate payment defaults and     
bankruptcies and forced companies to cut capital spending and costs, which      
slowed down demand for loans. Business slowdown in the corporate sector has also
restrained premiums written within Non-life Insurance. On the other hand,       
however, this slowdown has reduced claims expenditure and thus improved Non-life
Insurance profitability.

January-June earnings                                                           

Consolidated net income rose by 21% to EUR 370 million (305).                   

Net interest income came to EUR 119 million (75), up by almost 60% year on year.
This improvement had its roots in the loan portfolio and lending margins of new 
loans that grew throughout 2008. The price difference recognised on reclassified
notes and bonds increased net interest income by EUR 14 million.                

Impairments of receivables rose by EUR 57 million year on year, as expected,    
totalling EUR 54 million.                                                       
Net income from Non-life Insurance rose by EUR 11 million to EUR 192 million    
(181), 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 66 million, up by almost EUR 4 million year
on year. Net commissions and fees arising from loans and guarantees showed a    
strong increase whereas those from asset management and securities brokerage    
declined.                                                                       

Net trading income came to EUR 33 million (-46), or EUR 79 million higher than  
in the previous year. Income from derivative and bond trading increased.        
Negative mark-to-market valuations recognised a year ago in the income statement
from liquidity reserves totalled EUR 49 million.                                

Net investment income fell by EUR 17 million being EUR 9 million in the red, due
adjustments for property acquisition costs, impairment charges for equities and 
lower dividend income than a year ago.                                          

Expenses rose by 5% to EUR 247 million (234). Excluding a EUR 3-million increase
in deprecation on leases, expenses rose by 4%. The number of Group employees    
increased by 51 from 31 December 2008. Non-life Insurance agency fees and sales 
commissions rose by EUR 8 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.                                                                   

Earnings before tax amounted to EUR 123 million (71), or EUR 52 million higher  
than a year ago.                                                                

The fair value reserve increased by EUR 104 million, whereas it decreased by EUR
99 million during the same period a year ago. Impairments recognised from the   
fair value reserve in the income statement totalled EUR 25 million. On 30 June, 
the fair value reserve after tax stood at EUR -103 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 came to EUR 227 million (-28).                

April-June earnings                                                             

Consolidated net income increased by 23% to EUR 212 million (173).              

Growth in net interest income remained strong during the period.  The loan and  
guarantee portfolio was almost EUR 1 billion larger than a year ago. Lending    
margins continued to rise. The price difference recognised on reclassified notes
and bonds increased net interest income by EUR 6 million.                       

Impairments of receivables rose by EUR 34 million year on year to EUR 33 million
(-1). Impairment charges also increased from those recorded for the previous two
quarters.                                                                       

Non-life Insurance net income rose thanks to the good balance on technical      
account and a year-on-year performance improvement in investments.              

Good trading performance improved net trading income.                           

Expenses grew by 5%. Excluding an increase in deprecation on leases, expenses   
rose by 4%.  The number of employees showed a slight decrease.                  

Earnings before tax were EUR 87 million (54) and earnings before tax at fair    
value EUR 186 million (20).                                                     

Group risk exposure                                                             

The effects of the economic recession were reflected in customer companies'     
lower credit rating, and doubtful receivables and impairment charges increased  
in line with expectations. Despite the recession, investment-grade exposures    
continued to remain at good levels and the ratio of doubtful receivables to the 
loan and guarantee portfolio remained low. The revival of investment markets    
improved Non-life Insurance risk-bearing capacity.                              

The financial position and liquidity remained strong. Short-term funding        
performed well and the availability of long-term funding also improved. Pohjola 
has also 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 9.6 billion (9.8) on 30 June. 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 available-for-sale financial assets at fair value  
through profit or loss included in the liquidity reserve 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 
reserves during the first half totalled EUR 9 million, based on lower credit    
ratings for receivables. The second quarter saw no recognition of impairments   
from the liquidity reserves.                                                    

Net credit losses and impairments for January-June totalled EUR 54 million (-3),
of which impairments recognised on a collective basis accounted for 12% and     
those recognised on an individual basis for 88%. Doubtful receivables rose by   
EUR 21 million to EUR 56 million, accounting for 0.39% (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. If 
the operating environment for our corporate customers continues to deteriorate, 
doubtful receivables and impairment charges may increase during the second half.


Capital adequacy                                                                

The capital adequacy ratio continued to remain strong, standing at 12.2% (11.3) 
as against the statutory minimum requirement of 8%. The Tier 1 ratio was 11.5%  
(9.4).                                                                          

Tier 1 capital came to EUR 1,495 million (1,228) and the total capital base     
amounted to EUR 1,584 million (1,484). The minimum regulatory capital           
requirement to cover market risk amounted to EUR 33 million (47).               

On 30 June, risk-weighted assets totalled EUR 12,988 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 204 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 and its effect on total capital   
adequacy was 1.2%. By the end of June, Pohjola redeemed debt instruments worth  
EUR 3 million.                                                                  

Credit ratings

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 15 April 2009, Moody's put       
Pohjola on its watchlist for a possible downgrade.

January-June earnings                                                           

Banking reported good earnings before tax although an increase of EUR 45 million
in impairment charges eroded the result. The economic recession made corporate  
customers decrease investments, slowing down demand for loans. The loan         
portfolio shrank by almost 4% from its level at the end of 2008, standing at EUR
11.1 billion on 30 June, and increased by almost EUR 0.4 billion in the year to 
June, or 4%. The guarantee portfolio increased by EUR 0.2 billion to EUR 2.8    
billion, or by 6%, from its level at the end of 2008, and by EUR 0.5 billion, or
21%, in the year to June, due to growth in guarantees for TyEL 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 one-third higher than the year before but showed  
irregular developments. Commission income from loans grew by EUR 9 million and  
that from guarantees by EUR 4 million, while other commissions and fees remained
unchanged or decreased.                                                         

Customer-focused capital market operations showed a strong profit performance.  
The bond and derivatives business, in particular, recorded an increase in net   
income and income from trading for the first half was triple the amount reported
a year ago.                                                                     

Based on a change in accounting practice at the end of 2008, some 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 7 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 2 million.                                     

Expenses increased by EUR 9 million, with depreciation on leases accounting for 
EUR 3 million. The cost/income ratio improved considerably.                     

April-June earnings                                                             

Second-quarter earnings before tax amounted to EUR 26 million (39), this fall   
being due to an increase of EUR 33 million in impairment charges. During the    
reporting period, the loan and guarantee portfolio decreased by EUR 0.1 billion,
whereas a year ago it increased by EUR 0.4 billion.                             

As a result of the larger loan portfolio and higher margins, net interest income
was a fifth higher than a year ago. Commission income from loans grew by EUR 7  
million and that from guarantees was EUR 3 million higher than a year ago.      

The Markets division posted earnings of EUR 16 million, or EUR 9 million higher 
than the year before, due particularly to trading in bond and derivative        
markets.                                                            

Expenses increased by EUR 5 million, with depreciation on leases accounting for 
over one million euros.                                                         


Risk exposure by Banking                                                        

During January-June, total exposure decreased by EUR 0.2 billion to EUR 21.2    
billion. The ratio of investment-grade exposure - that is, ratings 1-5 - to     
total exposure, excluding private customers, remained at a healthy level,       
standing at 65% (68), the share of ratings 11-12 was 1.2% (0.6) and that of     
non-rated exposure 1% (1).                                                      

Corporate exposure (including housing corporations) accounted for 76% (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 235 million (117), accounting for 1.5% (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 June. The most significant industries included  
the manufacture of machinery and equipment representing 11.5% (10.0), lease and 
management of flats 10.9% (10.8) and trade 9.3% (10.4).                         

Significant customer exposure fell to EUR 4.0 billion (4.4). The ratio of       
doubtful receivables to the loan and guarantee portfolio rose but continued to  
remain low, standing at EUR 55 million (34), or 0.39% (0.25). Past due payments 
came to EUR 19 million (32), representing 0.13% (0.22) of the loan and guarantee
portfolio. Net credit losses and impairments reduced January-June results by EUR
44 million (+1).                                                                

On 30 June, Baltic Banking exposures totalled EUR 119 million, accounting for   
less than 1% of the loan and guarantee portfolio. The Baltic Banking share of   
net credit losses and impairment charges for the first half amounted to EUR 4.0 
million, comprising mainly impairments on receivables recognised on a collective
basis.                                                                          

Interest rate risk exposure averaged EUR 10.6 million in the first half and EUR 
8.6 million in the second quarter, based on the 1-percentage-point change in the
interest rate.

January-June earnings                                                           

Earnings before tax for the reporting period amounted to EUR 6 million (7). Net 
commissions and fees were 3% lower and personnel costs 3% lower than the year   
before. The operating cost/income ratio stood at 63% (61).                      

On 30 June, assets under management totalled EUR 27.8 billion (25.3),           
institutional clients accounting for EUR 16.5 billion (16.0), OP mutual funds   
for EUR 9.5 billion (8.5) and Pohjola Private for EUR 1.8 billion (0.7). Assets 
under management increased by 10% from their level at the beginning of 2009.    
Higher net assets inflow and second-quarter market developments contributed to  
this increase.                                                                  


April-June earnings                                                             

Earnings before tax amounted to EUR 4 million (4). Net commissions and fees     
decreased by 8% year on year. Assets under management increased by EUR 2.8      
billion, as a result of higher net assets inflow and market developments. The   
trend of money-market fund redemptions that continued in the first quarter      
reversed towards subscriptions. Client assets under Pohjola Private's management
soared by 134%. The operating cost/income ratio stood at 60% (60).              



Non-life Insurance                                                              

- Earnings before tax improved to EUR 46 million (40).                          
- The operating balance on technical account more than doubled to EUR 54 million
(23), the best ever recorded in the first half.                                 
- Non-life Insurance's profitability was very good. The operating combined ratio
stood at 88.6% (95.0).                                                          
- Growth in insurance premium revenue slowed down to 3% (8) due to a decrease in
premium revenue from corporate customers as a result of the recession.          
- Insurance premium revenue from private customers continued its vigorous growth
and the number of loyal customer households exceeded the mark of 400,000.       
- Return on investments at fair value was 4.5% (-1.2).

January-June earnings                                                           

Earnings before tax came to EUR 46 million (40). Earnings before tax at fair    
value improved by EUR 169 million to EUR 121 million (-49).                     

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 54 million (23).          
Favourable developments in the investment market were reflected in investment   
performance. Net investment income amounted to EUR 30 million (55) and net      
investment income at fair value reached EUR 104 million (-33).                  

On 30 June, the number of loyal customer households totalled 403,323, showing a 
year-on-year increase of 8%. More than 50% 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 
over 425,000 insurance premiums, with 30% paid in full using bonuses. 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-June, in comparison with sales performed by Pohjola's own     
offices. The first half saw the sales network strengthen when an increasing     
number of OP-Pohjola Group member banks joined the network and began to sell    
policies.                                                                       

Insurance business                                                              

Profitability improved significantly within insurance operations. The operating 
combined ratio stood at 88.6% (95.0).                                           

Growth in insurance premium revenue slowed down to 3% (8), premium revenue      
amounting to EUR 471 million (456).                                             

Growth remained vigorous within Private Customers, based on the OP-Pohjola      
cooperation, insurance premium revenue improving by 11% to EUR 207 million      
(186). The number of loyal customer households grew by 14,057 (19,681) in the   
first half.                                                                     

Within Corporate Customers, insurance premium revenue decreased by 3% due to the
recession, to EUR 234 million (241). The most drastic fall was seen in statutory
workers' compensation insurance, considering that payroll bills which determine 
insurance premiums are on the decrease.                                         

In the Baltic States, insurance premium revenue was EUR 30 million (29).        

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   
282 million (305) and the risk ratio stood at 59.9% (67.0). 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 90 (98) in the first half, with their claims    
incurred retained for own account totalling EUR 45 million (42).                

Operating expenses and loss adjustment expenses grew to EUR 135 million (128),  
due mainly to higher sales costs. The cost ratio was 28.7% (28.0).              

Investment                                                                      

Return on investments at fair value stood at 4.5% (-1.2). Net investment income 
recognised in the income statement amounted to EUR 30 million (55). Dividend    
income and capital gains were lower than in the previous year and impairment    
charges recognised from the fair value reserve in the income statement totalled 
EUR 21 million.                                                                 

On 30 June, the investment portfolio totalled EUR 2,709 million (2,415), bonds  
and bond funds accounting for 83% (82), listed equities for 4% (4) and unlisted 
capital investments, including equities, for 7% (8). The fixed-income portfolio 
by credit rating remained healthy, considering that 80% of the fixed-income     
instruments were rated at least A-. The average residual maturity of the        
fixed-income portfolio was 4.9 years (6.6) and the duration 3.5 years (4.3). On 
30 June, the fixed-income portfolio's current interest rate was 4.5%.           


April-June earnings                                                             

Earnings before tax came to EUR 48 million (17). Earnings before tax at fair    
value improved by EUR 137 million to EUR 121 million (-16).                     

The balance on technical account before amortisation on intangible assets stood 
at EUR 34 million (19).                                                         
Net investment income amounted to EUR 31 million (18).                          

Insurance business                                                              

Profitability was very good. The operating combined ratio stood at 86.0% (91.9).
Growth in insurance premium revenue slowed down to 2%, premium revenue amounting
to EUR 240 million (236).                                                       

Growth remained vigorous within Private Customers, insurance premium revenue    
rising by 11% to EUR 110 million (99). The number of loyal customer households  
grew by 8,132 (10,872).                                                         

Within Corporate Customers, the economic recession affected the financial       
performance more than before. Insurance premium revenue fell by 6% to EUR 116   
million (123).  

In the Baltic States, insurance premium revenue was EUR 15 million (14).        

Favourable claims developments continued during the second quarter. Claims      
incurred (excl. loss adjustment expenses) amounted to EUR 138 million (151) and 
the risk ratio stood at 57.2% (64.2). 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 40 (48) in the second quarter, with their claims incurred  
retained for own account totalling EUR 23 million (22).                         

Operating expenses and loss adjustment expenses were EUR 69 million (66). The   
development of costs followed the same pattern as in the first quarter. The     
slowdown in insurance premium revenue weakened the cost ratio, standing at 28.7%
(27.8).                                                                         

Investment                                                                      

Net investment income amounted to EUR 31 million (18) and return on investments 
at fair value stood at 4.9% (-0.6).                                             


Risk exposure by Non-life Insurance                                             

On 30 June, Non-life Insurance solvency capital totalled EUR 722 million (608)  
and the ratio of solvency capital to insurance premium revenue (solvency ratio) 
stood at 77% (66).                                                              

Solvency capital increased by EUR 95 million in the second 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 17 million to EUR 384 million in the second quarter.           


Group Functions                                                                 

- Pre-tax loss came to EUR 5 million (a loss of EUR 40 million), showing a      
year-on-year improvement of EUR 36 million.                                     
- The reclassification at 2008-end of notes and bonds reduced earnings          
volatility.                                                                     
- Impairment charges recognised on bonds totalled EUR 10 million (0) and on     
equities EUR 4 million.                                                         
- Liquidity and the availability of funding remained at good levels.

January-June earnings                                                           

Pre-tax loss amounted to EUR 5 million (loss of EUR 40 million), but the result 
is EUR 36 million better than a year ago. Reported expenses grew by almost EUR 3
million on a like-for-like basis. This performance improvement was 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. On 30 June, the carrying amount of the       
reclassified notes and bonds came to EUR 3.3 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 the    
first half totalled EUR 13.9 million, of which EUR 12 million was recognised in 
the Group Functions' net interest income and EUR 2 million in Banking.          

The first-half results included EUR 10 million 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 at good levels. Debt         
instruments issued to the public increased to EUR 17 billion (14), with         
commercial papers and Euro Commercial Papers accounting for EUR 10 billion,     
equalling the amount at the end of 2008.                                        

Pohjola Bank plc's net receivables from OP-Pohjola Group member banks rose to   
EUR 1.1 billion (-0.2).                                                         

April-June earnings                                                             

Earnings before tax were EUR 10 million, or EUR 16 million higher than the year 
before. Net interest income from notes and bonds included in liquidity reserves 
and the successful management of interest rate risk position contributed to     
higher net income. The positive price difference between the nominal value and  
acquisition value of reclassified notes and bonds within liquidity reserves     
recognised in net interest income totalled EUR 6 million.                       

Pohjola increased its long-term funding by issuing in May a EUR 750-euro senior 
bond with a maturity of five years and in June a NOK 500-million (around EUR 56 
million) bond with a maturity of five years.                                    

Risk exposure by Group Functions                                                

The Group Functions exposure totalled EUR 15.2 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 9.6 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 9.9 million in the first half and EUR  
13.1 million in the second quarter, based on the 1-percentage-point change in   
the interest rate.

Outlook towards the year end                                                    

Measures taken by central banks and government stimulus packages have increased 
confidence in global financial markets and improved the performance of capital  
markets compared with the situation in early 2009. However, uncertainty is      
expected to continue in capital markets, which will maintain higher-than-average
price volatility in credit risk, equity, bond, currency and commodity markets.  
After the speedy downturn experienced in early 2009, there are some signs of    
stabilisation, especially in the Chinese and US economies. Nevertheless,        
economic growth prospects for major EU countries and Finland still look poor,   
which is expected to increase corporate payment defaults, bankruptcies and      
unemployment.                                                                   

Demand for loans and guarantees within Banking slowed down in the first half    
relative to 2008 and the average margin on corporate loans rose as expected. On 
the basis of the economic outlook, demand for loans and guarantees is expected  
to remain weaker during the rest of the year than in 2008, with the focus on    
working capital and the refinancing of existing loans. It is estimated that the 
average corporate loan portfolio margin will rise towards the end of the year.  
Despite the corporate loan portfolio's good quality, payment defaults, doubtful 
receivables and impairment charges may increase from their first-half level, if 
the operating environment for our corporate customers continues to deteriorate. 
The greatest uncertainties related to Banking's financial performance in 2009   
are associated with impairments on the loan portfolio.                          

Within Asset Management, assets under management increased during the first     
half, thanks to favourable developments in investment markets and new sales. In 
2009, assets under management are expected to be larger than in 2008. 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% if the number of major losses is 
not much larger than in 2008. The first-half return on investments at fair value
stood at 4.5%. Returns for the full year 2009 will depend on developments in    
investment markets.                                                             

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  
liquidity reserves and any fair value changes recognised on notes and bonds     
through profit or loss.                                                         

There is still great uncertainty about economic outlook and the operating       
environment. On the basis of the first-half financial performance, consolidated 
earnings before tax in 2009 are expected to be markedly higher than in 2008. The
greatest uncertainty associated with the outlook for the rest of the year       
relates to developments in impairment charges. If our corporate customers'      
operating environment continues to deteriorate, impairment charges may increase 
from their first-half level.

Key ratios for Non-life Insurance

the Insurance Supervisory Authority, using the corresponding IFRS sections to   
the extent applicable. The ratios are calculated using expenses by function     
applied by non-life insurance companies, which are not presented on the same    
principle as in the Consolidated Income Statement.                              

Loss ratio

*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 June 2009, notes and bonds included EUR 42 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 June  
2009, the fair value of these debt instruments was approximately EUR 87 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.
