Bank of Åland Plc
Interim Report
April 26, 2016, 9.00 a.m.
Interim Report for the period January–March 2016
“Strong quarterly earnings, but we are seeing negative market interest rates
squeezing our net interest income. During the first quarter, our deposits rose
sharply (8 per cent) and we had a continued positive inflow to our financial
investment services. Our customers’ actively managed assets thus grew by 1 per
cent despite falling stock markets during the quarter.”
