Release category: Interim Report                                                


OP-Pohjola Group's January-June 2009                                            

- Consolidated result for the first two quarters was good - earnings before tax 
stood at EUR 281 million, the same as last year.                                
- Net interest income remained at last year's level and the non-life insurance 
balance on technical account was excellent. Total income increased by 8% and    
expenses by 2%.                                                                 
- Credit losses and non-performing receivables increased as expected but were
low 
in relation to the loan and guarantee portfolio.                                
- The Group's market position improved despite the sluggish growth climate - 
market share growth was fastest in corporate loans (1.7 percentage points in the
last 12 months) and in mutual funds (1.6 percentage points).                    
- The integration of banking and insurance is proceeding well. The number of
joint 
customers increased by 68,000 in a year, with over 50% of non-life insurance    
loyal customer households concentrating their banking transaction with          
OP-Pohjola Group.                                                               
- The risk-bearing capacity is high - the financial and insurance
conglomerate's 
capital buffers rose to EUR 1.6 billion, and the Tier 1 ratio was 12.0%.        
- The Group's full-year earnings are expected to be about the same as in 2008 - 
the greatest uncertainty is related to how impairment charges will develop.     

Comments by Reijo Karhinen, Executive Chairman                                  

Stability, responsibility and persistence describe OP-Pohjola Group's first half
of 2009. Our good and stable earnings, strong capital base and rising market    
shares are things we can be extremely pleased about, especially under these     
difficult conditions beset by financial instability.                            

Our success has been aided by the recovering financial markets and the way we   
have managed things after the acquisition of Pohjola insurance operations. The  
integration of banking and non-life insurance operations forms an excellent     
basis for the further development and growth of our business.                   

A turning point has been reached in the financial market crisis, and the fog is 
beginning to clear away, but we are still a long way from normality. However,   
our solid foundation enables us to have the presence of mind to face the        
deepening problems in the Finnish economy.                                      

Businesses have more and more problems with their payments and unemployment is  
getting worse, which will weaken our customers' repayment capacity and increase 
our credit losses. But there is nothing to indicate that credit losses will     
become uncontrollable or exceptionally difficult in relation to the state of the
economy.                                                                        

At times of deep recession, banks' commitment to customer care is put to the    
test. Our Finnish roots and the cooperative principle make us deeply motivated  
to support our customers over this difficult economic situation.

**** March 2009                                                                 


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 tried to fight the recession by means of a more relaxed      
monetary policy. The European Central Bank reduced its benchmark interest rate  
in May to 1.0%, and has continued to support the liquidity of the banking system
through further loans. Many central banks have also resorted to some unusual    
measures, such as purchase of companies' and public-sector entities' debt       
instruments straight from the market. These measures have calmed down the       
financial markets, cutting market rates and narrowing risk premiums.            

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 have been attributed to        
government support for the market through stimulus packages, an absence of      
alternative investments and the fact that companies have ventured to issue debt 
instruments.                                                                    

Despite lower interest rates, demand for bank loans - particularly corporate    
loans - actually declined during the first half. Demand for new home mortgages  
declined too, although home sales have picked up since the turn of the year and 
the price level has stabilised. As the recession continues, demand for loans is 
not likely to improve during the last two quarters.                             

Share prices rose in the spring, but have since levelled off. A certain amount  
of equity market instability is still to be expected. Mutual fund capital has   
continued to increase thanks to net subscriptions. Life insurance premiums      
written began to increase in late spring owing to investment contracts. The     
growth rate of deposits has slowed down.                                        

Poor results by businesses has also restrained premiums written within Non-life 
Insurance, which has reduced the risk level and thus improved Non-life          
Insurance's profitability.                                                      

OP-Pohjola Group's earnings and total assets                                    

January-June                                                                    

Pre-tax earnings remained at the previous year's level despite the more         
challenging operating environment, reaching EUR 281 million (283)*. Thanks to   
recovering capital markets, earnings before tax at fair value were much higher, 
coming to EUR 459 million  (-21).                                               


The Banking pre-tax earnings fell short of the comparison period as a result of 
higher credit losses, but were nevertheless good considering the current trends.
Non-Life Insurance's balance on technical account was excellent, as a result of 
which the segment's overall result improved on the previous year despite a      
smaller return on investment. Non-life Insurance's operating combined ratio     
improved to 88.6% (95.0). Life Insurance's accounting results were burdened by  
write-downs concerning available-for-sale financial instruments.                

The Group's revenues increased by 8.2% to EUR 1,079 million (997). Net interest 
income was EUR 568 million (568), the same as the previous year. Other income   
increased substantially, reaching EUR 510 million (429), up by 19% year on year.
Net commissions - totalling EUR 251 million particularly thanks to higher       
lending fees and insurance brokerage fees - were higher than last year. Asset   
management commissions and fees contracted from last year. Net investment income
for Life Insurance fell by EUR 32 million and for Non-Life Insurance by EUR 24  
million. Banking's investment and net trading income increased by EUR 36        
million. The comparison period's net trading income included a decrease of EUR  
49 million in fair value from securities in the liquidity reserve.              

Expenses stood at EUR 640 million (627), up by 2.0% year on year, a significant 
part of this increase due to higher personnel costs. The 5.3% rise in personnel 
costs resulted from an increase in staff numbers and previously agreed pay      
increases.                                                                      

Bonuses paid to owner-members and OP bonus customers rose by 9.9% and totalled  
EUR 70 million (64).                                                            

Net impairment losses on loans and receivables increased to EUR 75 million      
(9.0). New impairment losses in gross terms totalled EUR 104 million, or up by  
EUR 76 million from last year. Value readjustments and cancellations of         
impairment losses totalled EUR 29 million, or 51% more than the year before.    
Impairment losses on receivables remained pretty low, at 0.28% of the loan and  
guarantee portfolio in annual terms.

OP-Pohjola Group's balance sheet total was EUR 77.6 billion (75.7) on 30 June   
2009. At the end of the review period, receivables from customers stood at EUR  
52.4 billion (51.7) and deposits at EUR 34.8 billion (34.5). Debt securities    
issued to the public rose by 0.3% to EUR 18.2 billion.                        

Equity capital increased by 9.0% to EUR 5.7 billion (5.2), not only by the      
result in the first half of the year and the increased value of investment      
assets but also a subscription issue in April by Pohjola Bank plc, OP-Pohjola   
Group Central Cooperative's subsidiary. The share issue increased the Group's   
equity capital by EUR 171 million.                                              

The fair value reserve, adjusted for deferred tax assets, was EUR 424 million in
the negative (minus EUR 556 million). This negative fair value reserve is mainly
due to equity and mutual fund investments by life and non-life Insurance. The   
negative fair value reserve may recover by means of asset appreciation and      
recognised impairments. Only the value changes in the fair value reserve are    
recognised which the management deem to fulfil the relevant requirements.       

On 30 June, the cooperative capital investments and supplementary cooperative   
capital investments of the member cooperative banks' owner-members totalled EUR 
743 million (695). Member banks paid a total of EUR 26 million in interest on   
the ordinary and supplementary cooperative capital for 2008. The Annual General 
Meeting of Pohjola Bank plc decided that the company will pay a dividend of EUR 
0.23 for each Series A and EUR 0.20 for each Series K share for 2008, totalling 
EUR 45 million (131).                                                           

April-June                                                                      

Earnings before tax for the second quarter came to EUR 157 million (158). Income
increased by 9.1% mainly thanks to higher non-life insurance net income and net 
commissions. Reported expenses grew by EUR 5.2 million. Year on year,           
second-quarter personnel costs increased by 3.5%, accounting for EUR 5.5 million
of growth in total expenses. Returns to owner-members grew by EUR 4.3 million.  
Impairment losses on receivables came to EUR 46 million, or EUR 39 million      
higher year on year. The fair value reserve (gross) increased by EUR 217        
million, while a year ago it shrank by EUR 108 million. Impairments of EUR 52   
million were recognised in the second quarter.                                  

The Q2/2009 net interest income contracted by EUR 5.4 million from Q1/2009.     
Impairments of receivables were EUR 17 million higher than in January-March.    
Pre-tax earnings were EUR 33 million lower than in the previous quarter. Pre-tax
earnings at fair value were EUR 374 million as opposed to a loss of EUR 85      
million in the preceding quarter.

Capital adequacy                                                                

Two sets of capital adequacy ratios are calculated for OP-Pohjola Group.        
OP-Pohjola Group operates in compliance with the Act on Cooperative Banks and   
other Cooperative Institutions. Owing to the regulations on joint responsibility
and security conditions prescribed in the Act, a minimum amount of capital      
resources has been set for the amalgamation of the cooperative banks calculated 
according to the regulations for capital adequacy specified in the Act on Credit
Institutions. The amalgamation of the cooperative banks comprises its central   
institution (OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative), the central institution's   
member credit institutions and companies belonging to their consolidation       
groups. Although OP-Pohjola Group's insurance companies do not belong to the    
amalgamation of the cooperative banks, investments made in them have a major    
impact on capital adequacy calculated in accordance with the capital adequacy   
regulations for credit institutions. This capital adequacy figure is called the 
amalgamation of cooperative banks' capital adequacy.                            

OP-Pohjola Group is also a financial and insurance conglomerate, pursuant to the
Act on the Supervision of Financial and Insurance Conglomerates. The            
conglomerate is governed by specific provisions of the capital adequacy         
requirement.                                                                    

In view of both capital adequacy requirements, OP-Pohjola Group's risk-bearing  
capacity is strong.                                                             

OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative will publish annually, as part of the      
financial statements, the full information required by Pillar III of the capital
adequacy framework and the Financial Supervisory Authority standards.           

In its calculation of capital requirement for credit risk, OP-Pohjola Group will
phase in the Internal Rating-based Approach (IRBA). The Financial Supervisory   
Authority granted OP-Pohjola Group permission to use IRBA in its calculation of 
capital adequacy requirements for credit risks as of 30 September 2008. This    
permission concerns liabilities granted to Pohjola Bank plc's corporate and     
institutional customers. Otherwise the capital requirement is calculated using  
the Standardised Approach. The adoption of IRBA will reduce OP-Pohjola Group's  
capital requirement, but will make the requirement more susceptible to market   
fluctuations. As to market risks, OP-Pohjola Group will continue to use the     
Standardised Approach. The capital requirement for operational risks will be    
calculated using the Basic Indicator Approach (BIA), with the objective of      
adopting the Standardised Approach in 2010.                                     

Capital adequacy of the amalgamation of cooperative banks                       

On 30 June, OP-Pohjola Group's capital adequacy ratio under the Credit          
Institutions Act and the Tier 1 ratio stood at 12.0%. Tier 1 ratio in the 31    
December 2008 financial statements stood at 12.6%.

Tier 1 capital amounted to EUR 4,836 million (4,884) on 30 June. The result for 
the report period less the estimated dividend payout is included in Tier 1      
capital. OP-Pohjola Group's Tier 1 capital fell by 1.0% during the report period
mainly as a result of insurance company investments in the first quarter. On the
other hand, Pohjola Bank share issue increased the Group's equity capital by    
EUR 171 million.                                                                

Tier 2 capital came to zero following deductions from the item during the report
period. Any deductions in excess of Tier 2 capital were made from Tier 1        
capital. Pohjola was authorised by the Financial Supervisory Authority to redeem
prematurely EUR 150 million in debt instruments included in Tier 2 capital. The 
Financial Supervisory Authority set a condition that this amount must be        
deducted from the capital base in full. By 30 June a total of EUR 3 million of  
debt had been redeemed. At the end of the report period, capital resources were 
reduced by the consolidation group's fair value reserve that was EUR 47 million 
in the red (-84).                                                               

On 30 June, insurance company investments, deducted in equal proportions from   
Tier 1 and 2 funds, came to EUR 2,329 million (2,159). On the basis of the      
exemptions granted by the Financial Supervisory Authority, investments by       
OP-Pohjola Group entities in venture capital funds, managed by Pohjola Capital  
Partners, are treated in the capital adequacy calculation in the same way as    
investments in shares in business or industrial corporations.                   

On 30 June, the ratio of hybrid capital to Tier 1 capital before adjustments was
3.4% (3.6). Tier 1 capital does not include equity capital growth resulting from
the IFRS-compliant measurement of pension liabilities and the assets covering   
them, and from the measurement at fair value of investment property.

Capital adequacy under the Act on the Supervision of Financial and Insurance    
Conglomerates                                                                   

OP-Pohjola Group's capital adequacy pursuant to the Act on the Supervision of   
Financial and Insurance Conglomerates is calculated using the consolidation     
method, whereby assets included in capital resources but not included in equity 
capital, under the regulations for the banking or insurance industry, are added 
to the equity capital in the conglomerate's balance sheet. Capital resources may
not include items not available for covering the losses of other companies      
belonging to the conglomerate.                                                  

On 30 June, OP-Pohjola Group's own funds, calculated according to the Act on the
Supervision of Financial and Insurance Conglomerates, exceeded the minimum      
amount specified in the Act by EUR 1,606 million (1,406).                       

The insurance companies' equalisation provision is not included in the financial
and insurance conglomerate's capital resources. On 30 June 2009, the combined   
equalisation provision less the non-life and life insurance tax liabilities     
stood at EUR 500 million. The equalisation provision acts as a buffer for       
insurance companies in case of years with heavy losses and is therefore part of 
the financial services group's actual buffer against losses.

OP-Pohjola Group's credit risk situation is still stable and the credit risks   
have been relatively low. However, the recession has increased doubtful         
receivables and impairments of receivables and reduced the quality of the credit
portfolio. The economic trends are expected to further deteriorate customers'   
liquidity. OP-Pohjola Group's non-performing and zero-interest receivables came 
to EUR 285 million (203) on 30 June, which was 0.5% (0.4) of the loan and       
guarantee portfolio. Gross impairment losses of EUR 104 million (28) were       
recorded in the report period, which was 0.38% (0.11) of the loan and guarantee 
portfolio. Of OP-Pohjola Group's corporate exposure, investment-grade exposure  
stood at 48% (51).                                                              

OP-Pohjola Group financial position and liquidity remained strong. Short-term   
funding performed well and the availability of long-term funding also improved. 
OP-Pohjola Group's long-term funding was increased during the report period by  
means of two long-term bonds issued by Pohjola Bank plc, worth about EUR 806    
million in total. Pohjola Bank has the opportunity to use State guarantee in its
funding, if necessary. The liquidity reserve maintained by Pohjola Bank plc     
amounted to EUR 9.6 billion on 30 June 2009. These liquidity reserves plus other
items eligible as collateral included in OP-Pohjola Group's balance sheet       
comprise a comprehensive liquidity reserve eligible for central bank            
refinancing, which can be used to cover OP-Pohjola Group's wholesale funding    
maturities for about 24 months.                                                 

On 30 June, the investment portfolio of Non-life Insurance totalled EUR 2.7     
billion (2.4), fixed-income investments accounting for 83% (82) of the          
investment portfolio. Investments under the 'investment grade' accounted for    
approximately 94% (94) of the fixed-income portfolio. 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%. Return on investments at fair value was 4.5% (-1.2).                      

On 30 June, life insurance investment assets amounted to EUR 4.0 billion (3.9). 
No significant changes took place in the allocation of investment assets in the 
first half of 2009. Fixed-income instruments accounted for 72% (73%) of the     
investment assets. Investments under the 'investment grade' accounted for       
approximately 85% (83) of the fixed-income portfolio. The average credit rating 
of a fixed-income portfolio is A+ (A+) and the average duration 3.5 years (3.6),
The return on investments for January-June came to 1.7% (-3.3). Fixed-income    
investments had a better yield as credit spreads fell from the exceptionally    
high level of the first quarter.                                                

As part of normal business planning and management, OP-Pohjola Group creates a  
number of stress tests and scenario analyses. Stress tests assess the Group's   
development in terms of result and capital adequacy a few years ahead in a      
potential but particularly deep recession. In the latest test, in late spring   
2009, the Group's capital adequacy was tested under conditions that were based  
on assumptions that were substantially weaker that the official forecasts for   
the Finnish economy. According to the stress test results, OP-Pohjola Group's   
capital adequacy would survive even a deep recession burdened with heavy credit 
losses while keeping above the statutory minimum requirements without having to 
increase its equity capital or to issue bonds and notes linked to its capital   
base.

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. Moody's put Pohjola on its watchlist
on 15 April 2009.                                                               

New business strategy                                                           

OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative's Supervisory Board confirmed in June      
OP-Pohjola Group's business strategy that sets the guidelines for long-term     
development, integrating non-life insurance operations for the first time on a  
strategic level as part of the entire financial services group.                 

OP-Pohjola Group's existence is based on benefits provided to its owner-members 
and customers. The Group's mission, values, customer promise, objective and     
customer promise remain the same. The Group's success factors are based on five 
competitive edges: comprehensive financial services, best loyalty benefits,     
working close to the customer, the cooperative principle and Finnish roots.     

Deepening the integration of the banking and non-life insurance operations forms
the strategy's cornerstone and source of growth. It also states more clearly the
Group's strategic intent in terms of corporate business operations. The Group's 
objective is that each region in Finland has at least one Group member bank that
provides comprehensive services locally for individuals and businesses alike.   

The Group's high capital adequacy provides a strong foundation for business     
development and growth. The Group still adopts a policy of moderate risk-taking.
The Group aims to operate at least as effectively as its main competitors.      

The strategy also specified in more detail OP-Pohjola Group's long-term         
financial targets in order to ensure its operation in the long run. These have  
not been adapted to the existing financial operating environment.               

At Group level, the objectives were set for risk-bearing capacity, profitability
and efficiency. The long-term risk-bearing capacity target is that the capital  
adequacy ratio calculated according to the Act on the Supervision of Financial  
and Insurance Conglomerates is 1.5. The profitability target for risk-based     
economic capital is a 17 per cent return on economic capital. The efficiency of 
the entire financial services group is measured by the growth differential      
between income and expenses. The objective is that income grows at a higher rate
than expenses.

Changes in OP-Pohjola Group's structure                                         

OP-Pohjola Group's consolidated financial statements include 221 member         
cooperative banks, OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative Consolidated and OP Bank
Group Mutual Insurance Company.                                                 

Kuusjoen Osuuspankki, Kiikalan Rekijoen Osuuspankki, Kiskon Osuuspankki, Perniön
Osuuspankki and Salon Seudun Osuuspankki merged to create Salon Osuuspankki. In 
another combination merger, Lieksan Osuuspankki, Nurmeksen Osuuspankki and      
Valtimon Osuuspankki became Pielisen Osuuspankki. The mergers were entered in   
the Trade Register on 30 April 2009. Following the mergers, member cooperative  
banks number 221.                                                               

In December 2008, OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative offered its member       
cooperative banks to subscribe to its supplementary cooperative capital. The    
subscription period ended on 2 February 2009, resulting in supplementary        
cooperative capital totalling EUR 444 million.                                  

The Boards of Directors of Pohjola Bank plc and Pohjola Finance Ltd have        
approved a plan whereby Pohjola Finance Ltd is expected to merge with its parent
company by the end of 2009.                                                     

Owner-members and customers                                                     

On 30 June, the cooperative member banks had 1,271,000 owner-members, which is  
42,000 more than a year earlier, and Helsinki OP Bank Plc, which operates in the
Helsinki Metropolitan Area, had a total of 1,073,000 OP bonus customers.        

Loyal customer bonuses earned by OP bonus customers totalled EUR 70 million, up 
by 9.9% on the previous year. Bonuses earned by owner-members are stated in     
OP-Pohjola Group's income statement under 'Returns to owner-members'. In the    
first half of the year, OP bonus customers used a total of EUR 35 million (26)  
of bonuses on banking services and EUR 31 million (13) on Pohjola non-life      
insurance premiums. In the period under review, OP bonuses have been used to pay
over 425,000 insurance premiums, with 30% paid in full using bonuses.           

OP-Pohjola Group had a total of 4,121,000 customers in Finland at the end of    
June, or 5,100 more than a year earlier. The number of private customers

Baltic countries. In the year to June, the number of joint banking and non-life 
insurance customers in Finland increased by 68,000 to 1,016,000 as a result of  
cross-selling.                                                                  

On 30 June 2009, the number of Pohjola's loyal customer households totalled     
403,000, up by 28,800 from June 2008. More than half of Pohjola's loyal customer

member cooperative banks.

Central Cooperative's corporate governance                                      

OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative is the central institution of the          
amalgamation of the cooperative banks, the parent company of OP-Pohjola Group   
Central Cooperative Consolidated and the company heading the financial and      
insurance conglomerate formed by OP-Pohjola Group. Acting as a development and  
service centre for OP-Pohjola Group and as a strategic owner institution, the   
Central Cooperative plays a pivotal role in developing and steering OP-Pohjola  
Group's business.

The Annual Cooperative Meeting re-elected KPMG Oy Ab, a firm of authorised      
public accountants, the auditor of OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative and

Capital expenditure                                                             

The Central Cooperative, together with its subsidiaries, is responsible for     
developing OP-Pohjola Group's services. ICT investments and related             
specifications make up a significant portion of costs of developing these       
services. ICT procurement capitalised in the balance sheet totalled EUR 22      
million (21). Of these investments, EUR 12 million (12) was allocated to banking
and investment operations, EUR 5 million (5) to non-life insurance operations   
and EUR 4 million (4) to life insurance operations.                             

Joint responsibility and joint security                                         

Under the Act on Cooperative Banks and Other Cooperative Credit Institutions,   
the amalgamation of the cooperative banks comprises the organisation's central  
institution (OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative), the Central Cooperative's   
member credit institutions and the companies belonging to their consolidation   
groups. This amalgamation is monitored on a consolidated basis. The Central     
Cooperative and its member banks are ultimately responsible for each other's    
liabilities and commitments. The Central Cooperative's members at the end of the
report period comprised OP-Pohjola Group's 221 member banks as well as Pohjola  
Bank plc, Helsinki OP Bank Plc, OP Mortgage Bank and OP-Kotipankki Oyj.         
OP-Pohjola Group's insurance companies do not fall within the scope of joint    
responsibility.                                                                 

Deposit banks belonging to OP-Pohjola Group, i.e. its member cooperative banks, 
Pohjola Bank plc, Helsinki OP Bank Plc and OP-Kotipankki Oyj, are regarded as a 
single bank with respect to deposit protection. Under legislation governing the 
Investor Compensation Fund, OP-Pohjola Group is also considered a single entity 
for purposes of compensation protection.                                        

Outlook towards the year end                                                    

The worst part of the financial crisis of now behind us, and the predictability 
of the operating environment has improved in the first half of the year.        
However, uncertainty related to the instability of the financial market and the 
predictability of the operating environment is expected to be higher than       
average. As a result of the recession, companies and individuals are expected to
be even worse affected, having problems keeping up with their loan payments.    
Profit performance in the financial sector is weakened by sluggish growth,      
exceptionally low interest rates and increasing credit losses.                  
Despite the difficult operating environment, the Group's full-year result is    
expected to be at last year's level, with the greatest difficulty in the        
forecast related to credit loss and other impairment loss developments.         

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

Operations and earnings by business segment                                     

OP-Pohjola Group's business segments are Banking and Investment Services,       
Non-life Insurance and Life Insurance. Non-segment operations are presented in  
'Other Operations'. OP-Pohjola Group's segment reporting is based on accounting 
policies applied in its financial statements. Amortisation on intangible assets 
arising from the Pohjola acquisition is allocated to the business segments.     

Companies within the Banking and Investment Services segment are the member     
banks, Helsinki OP Bank Plc, OP-Kotipankki Oyj, OP Mortgage Bank, OP Fund       
Management Company Ltd, Pohjola Asset Management Limited, Pohjola Corporate     
Finance Ltd, Pohjola Capital Partners Ltd, as well as certain smaller companies 
supporting banking and investment services in their entirety. Pohjola Group's   
banking and asset management segments are also included in the Banking and      
Investment Services segment as are the operations of OP-Pohjola Group Mutual    
Insurance Company, because most of the company's business consists of credit    
insurance granted to the Group's retail banks.                                  

The Non-life Insurance segment encompasses the operations of OP-Pohjola Group's 
non-life insurance companies, i.e. Pohjola Insurance Ltd, Eurooppalainen        
Insurance Company Ltd, A-Insurance Ltd, the Seesam companies operating in the   
Baltic countries, as well as the operations of service companies supporting     
non-life insurance.                                                             

The Life Insurance segment comprises OP Life Assurance Company Ltd engaged in   
the Group's life and pension insurance business.                                

Other Operations includes operations that support all business segments,        
particularly the operations of OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative and         
Pohjola's Group management. Up until May 2008, FD Finanssidata was included as  
well. Costs of the services for the business segments are allocated to the      
segments in the form of internal service charges. The allocation of own capital 
to the business segments is carried out through an internal bank under Other    
Operations, which means that any positive results in excess of the target level 
will be shown under Other Operations.

Banking and Investment Services                                                 

The operating environment of Banking and Investment Services was more           
challenging than previously. The negative effects of the weakening real economy 
are becoming more apparent, as more and more customers are suffering from       
weakened liquidity and declining growth. The record-low interest-rates have     
slowed down net interest income growth and will later send it on a downward     
path. OP-Pohjola Group's market position has been reinforced in this difficult  
operating environment. OP-Pohjola Group is the biggest market shares in Finland 
in deposits and credit.                                                         

On 30 June, the Group's loan portfolio stood at EUR 51.9 billion (51.0), and the
guarantee portfolio at EUR 3.1 billion (3.0). The loan portfolio expanded by    
7.0% (14) in the year to June 2009 and by 1.2% in the report period. The market 
share of the loan portfolio increased year on year by 0.8 percentage points to  
32.2%.      

Credit margins continued to rise throughout the report period. The average      
margin of new home mortgages has more than doubled in less than twelve months,  
chiefly as a result of the higher price of long-term debt. The percentage of    
fixed-rate home mortgages of all home mortgages remained low at 2.4% (2.3).     

The home mortgage portfolio totalled EUR 24.9 billion (24.2) at the end of June.
During the past year, home mortgages increased by 7.8% (14.1) and in the report 
period by 3.0%. OP-Pohjola Group held 36.0% of the home mortgage portfolio on 31
June 2009, up by 0.6 percentage points year on year.                            

At the end of the report period, the consumer credit portfolio amounted to EUR  
3.7 billion (3.7), showing an increase of 5.8% (20.1) year on year and 2.4% in  
the report period (7.0).                                                        

On 30 June, the corporate loan portfolio stood at EUR 13.8 billion (13.8), and  
the guarantee portfolio at EUR 2.8 billion (2.6). The corporate loan portfolio  
rose by 9.0% year on year, but shrank by 0.1% (11.7) during the report period.  
Demand for corporate loans slowed down clearly in the first half of 2009 as a   
result of lower customer company investments. On the other hand, guarantees and 
other off-balance-sheet commitments increased in the report period by 9.9%. The 
market share of corporate loans on 30 June was 27.6%, or 1.7 percentage points  
higher than a year earlier.                                                     

On 30 June, deposits totalled EUR 34.8 billion (34.5), an increase of 8.6% year 
on year and 0.9% in the report period. A significant change took place in the   
structure of deposits during the report period: the focus shifted from          
investment deposits to current accounts. Investment deposits rose by 7.2% in the
year to June (40.5) and current accounts by 10.2% (0.5). The Group's market     
share of deposits on 30 June was 33.2%, or 0.4 percentage points higher than a  
year earlier.                                                                   

Capital invested in OP-Pohjola Group's mutual funds totalled EUR 10.6 billion   
(9.3), showing an increase of 12.8% during the report period but a contraction  
of 13.0% in the year to June. On 30 June, OP-Pohjola Group held a 23.0% market  
share of the capital of mutual funds registered in Finland, up by 1.6 percentage
points year on year. Net subscriptions to OP-Pohjola Group's mutual funds       
totalled EUR 606 million (-1,268).                                              

Pohjola's Asset Management managed a total of EUR 27.8 billion at the end of    
June (25.3), of which assets in OP-Pohjola Group's mutual funds accounted for   
EUR 9.5 billion and OP-Pohjola Group companies for EUR 6.7 billion.             

Assets managed in accordance with the OP-Private operating model totalled EUR   
3.0 billion (2.7). Stockbroking for households totalled 454,000 trades during   
the report period, or 80.2% more than a year earlier.                           

Earnings and risk exposure                                                      

Banking and Investment Services reported earnings of EUR 270 million (316)      
before tax for the first half of 2009, down by 15% year on year. Bonuses given  
out in the report period rose by 9.9% to EUR 70 million (64).                   

Net interest income fell by 3.5 to EUR 531 million (550), while net commissions 
and fees rose by 12% to EUR 268 million (239). The fall in net interest income  
was caused by lower interest rates. Net trading and investment income totalled  
EUR 52 million (16). Trading income in the report period developed extremely    
favourably, but on the other hand, revaluation losses were recorded of          
securities from the comparison period. The report period's return of investments
was burdened by EUR 12 million impairment losses related to available-for-sale  
investments. Personnel costs rose by 8.9% and other expenses by 6.6%. On the    
other hand, insurance sales bonuses are included under net commissions and fees.
The cost/income ratio stood at 53% (52).                                        

Impairment losses on receivables came to EUR 66 million (11), the increase being
the result of a clear deterioration in the financial situation compared with    
last year. The amount of impairment losses was still moderate in relation to the
business volumes, and moderate considering the current trends.                  

The Group's non-performing and zero-interest receivables increased but remained 
low, totalling EUR 285 million on 30 June, up by 31% year on year. Households'  
non-performing loan losses increased in particular. Non-performing and          
zero-interest loans are stated net of impairments of specific receivables and   
groups of receivables, which amounted to EUR 117 million (85). The ratio of     
non-performing and zero-interest receivables to the loan and guarantee portfolio
was 0.5%, or slightly higher than a year ago (0.4).

Non-life Insurance                                                              

The non-life insurance business improved well in the report period. On 30 June, 
the number of loyal customer households within the Non-life Insurance segment   
totalled 403,000, showing a year-on-year increase of 7.7%. Insurance premium    
revenue rose by 3.3% to EUR 471 million (456).                                  

Comparable figures of insurance premium revenue from Private Customers improved 
by 11.2% to EUR 207 million. 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. During the current    
year, more and more OP-Pohjola Group member banks have begun to sell non-life   
insurance policies.                                                             

Within Corporate Customers, the economic recession slowed down growth. Insurance
premium revenue shrank to EUR 234 million (241). In the Baltic States, insurance
premium revenue rose by 5% to EUR 30 million (29).                              

Pohjola Insurance is the non-life insurance market leader in Finland with a     
27.5% market share of premiums written on 31 December 2008, its market share    
increasing in 2008 by 0.5 percentage points.                                    

More than 50% of Pohjola's loyal customer households have also concentrated     
their banking transactions in OP-Pohjola Group member cooperative banks. OP     
bonuses obtained through bank transactions were used for the payment of         
insurance premiums to a total of EUR 31 million in January-June 2009 (13).      
Bonuses were used to pay almost 425,000 bills and some 130,000 bills were paid  
using bonuses alone.                                                            

Earnings and risk exposure                                                      

Pre-tax earnings from Non-life Insurance amounted to EUR 46 million (40) in the 
report period. The balance on technical account during the report period was    
clearly better than last year. The operating combined ratio stood at 88.6       
(95.0). Insurance premium revenue totalled EUR 471 million (456) and indemnities
EUR 287 million (309). Net investment income recognised under earnings came to  
EUR 30 million, or EUR 25 million higher year on year (55). Investment income   
included EUR 21 million writedowns of available-for-sale securities.            

The non-life insurance segment's expenses grew by 4% to EUR 154 million (149).  
Personnel costs were reduced as staff selling insurance policies to private     
customers moved to work for Group member banks. This arrangement had no         
significant effect on overall costs.                                            

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. The limit for major or medium-sized loss is EUR 0.1 million for    
non-life insurance and EUR 0.5 million for pension liabilities. There were 90   
(98) such losses in January-June, with their claims incurred retained by Pohjola
totalling EUR 45 million (42). The risk ratio was 59.9 (67.0).                  

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).               

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.                                                                 

On 30 June, the investment portfolio of Non-life Insurance totalled EUR 2.7     
billion (2.4), with bonds and bond funds accounting for 83% (82) and equities   
6.8% (7.8). The average remaining maturity of the fixed-income portfolio was 4.9
years and the duration 3.5 years (4.3). The loss on investments was 4.5% (loss  
of 1.2).

Life Insurance                                                                  

The life insurance market's premiums written rose in January-June by 6.8% year  
on year, the increase partly attributable to product development that has       
channelled assets into insurance-type products from financial products.         

Year on year, OP-Pohjola Group's premiums written in life and pension insurance 
decreased by 24.5% to EUR 295 million (391). Comparability is affected by an    
insurance portfolio transfer of EUR 36 million included in the 2008 figures.    
Premiums written in endowment insurance declined by 26%, and premiums written of
personal pension plans by 1.2%. Unit-linked premiums written accounted for 49%. 
On 30 June 2009, OP-Pohjola Group had a market share of 22.9%, down by 6.5      
percentage points from 31 December 2008.                                        

Life insurance claims paid by OP-Pohjola Group totalled EUR 251 million (324),  
of which surrenders accounted for EUR 80 million (169). Reported pension payout 
came to EUR 29 million (23).                                                    

OP-Pohjola Group's market share of insurance savings through life and pension   
insurance policies stood at 19.3% (19.4%) in March.                             

Earnings and risk exposure                                                      

Earnings before tax from Life Insurance were EUR -41 million (-12). Earnings    
before tax at fair value came to EUR 11 million. The fair value reserve change  
before tax stood at EUR 52 million (-224) during the report period. Net losses  
from Life Insurance were EUR 19 million (income of EUR 5.9 million). The        
provision worth EUR 10 million for future supplementary benefits was reversed   
during the comparison period. Net profit from investment assets other than those
covering unit-linked insurance stood at EUR 3.5 million (EUR 31 million).       
Investment income includes EUR 83 million impairment loss of available-for-sale 
securities. Investment income was eroded during the comparison period by a      
negative valuation of EUR 47 million concerning notes and bonds recognised in   
the balance sheet, EUR 17 million of which were reflected in the report period's
balance sheet.                                                                  

Personnel costs increased to EUR 4.6 million (4.3) and other expenses by 8.8% to
EUR 26 million (24). Other expenses include EUR 13 million (13) in commissions  
paid to the sales network.                                                      

The life insurance technical provisions totalled EUR 5.5 billion (5.3) at the   
end of June. Interest-bearing contract liabilities accounted for 67.4% and      
unit-linked 32.6% of the total liabilities.                                     

Life insurance investment assets, excluding assets covering unit-linked         
insurance, amounted to EUR 4.0 billion (3.9). As the capital markets picked up, 
the return on investment was positive, standing at 1.7% (-3.3) at the end of the
report period.                                                                  

OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative, being the chief owner, increased OP Life  
Assurance Company's operating capital to ensure the latter's capital adequacy.  
The reserve for invested non-restricted equity in the beginning of the report   
period totalled EUR 150 million. As capital markets were recovering, OP Life    
Assurance Company's capital adequacy improved markedly during the second        
quarter.

Other Operations' pre-tax result for January-June was EUR 41 million better than
last year, ending in a profit of EUR 4 million (loss of EUR 37 million).        
Impairments to the liquidity reserves eroded the result by EUR 42 million euros.
In the latter half of 2008, OP-Pohjola Group renewed its liquidity strategy, and
reclassified the securities included in the liquidity reserve in terms of       
accounting. This means that changes in fair value are no longer recognised      
through profit or loss under Net trading income. EUR 9 million impairment losses
from these securities have been recorded under Impairments of receivables.      

Net investment income was EUR 28 million (15), net trading loss EUR 4 million   
(loss of EUR 50 million) and the net investment losses EUR 4 million (income of 
EUR 7 million). Most of the other income in Other Operations came from within   
the Group as internal service charges, which are recorded as business segment   
expenses. Of the Other Operations expenses, EUR 60 million (59) were personnel  
costs and EUR 116 million (113) other costs.

Note 1. Accounting policies                                                     

The Financial Statements Bulletin for 1 January-30 June 2009 was prepared       
according to IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting), as approved by the EU.       

The Financial Statements 2008 contain a description of the accounting policies  
applied by OP-Pohjola Group.                                                    

In 2009, OP-Pohjola Group adopted the revised IAS 1 according to which the Group
presents the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of changes in  
equity.                                                                         

The Interim Report is based on unaudited information. Since all figures in this 
report are rounded off, the sum of single figures may differ from the presented 
sum total.

*Assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets for       
trading, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at inception, and
investments and investment property covering unit-linked insurance policies.    
**Non-life Insurance assets are specified in Note 16.                           
**Life Insurance assets are specified in Note 17.           
****Includes the balance sheet value of technical provisions related to

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 
19 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    
substantially lower than their carrying amount, but determining fair values     
reliably is difficult in the current market situation.
