OP-Pohjola Group's January-June 2008                                            

Growth continued at above-market rate - position as leading mortgage lender

- Deposits with financial institutions grew by over 18% and investment deposits 
by 40%.                                                                         
- Loan portfolio growth slowed down but was still at 14%, while home mortgages  
grew by 14% and corporate loans by 18%.                                         
- In the challenging market situation, assets invested in mutual funds decreased
by 21%.                                                                         
- Non-life insurance premium revenue rose by 8% and those from private customers
by 12%.                                                                         
- The number of joint banking and non-life insurance customers increased by     
94,000 to almost 948,000.                                                       

Earnings before tax EUR 359 million - strong earnings performance by Banking and
Investment Services                                                             
- Pre-tax earnings totalled EUR 359 million, as against EUR 523 million a year  
earlier.                                                                        
- Banking and Investment Services' earnings (EUR 320 million) were on the       
previous year's level, but the instability of investment markets cut results of 
Life and Non-Life Insurance operations and Other Operations.                    
- Net interest income was up by 12%. Total income shrank by 9% as a result of   
falling investment income.

- Bonuses charged to expenses and paid to customers grew by almost 60% to EUR 64
million.                                                                        

Strong risk-bearing capacity and a stable risk exposure                         
- Own funds were EUR 1.7 billion above the statutory minimum.                   
- Impairments receivables and non-performing receivables increased, but their   
proportion of the loan and guarantee portfolio remained as low as in the        
previous years.                                                                 
- The financial market instability reduced the market value of assets, but had  
little other effect on the Group's operations, earnings and capital adequacy.   

Year 2008                                                                       
- Owing to uncertainty in the operating environment and to investment market    
instability, 2008 earnings before tax will fall below those of 2007.  

* Changes are based on a year-on-year comparison.                               

Executive Chairman's comments                                                   

The core of OP-Pohjola Group's strategy is to grow above the market rate,       
something in which we were again successful in the first half of 2008.  Our     
growth was particularly strong in deposits, housing loans and non-life          
insurance, further strengthening our position as the leading financial services 
group in Finland, with our housing loan market share having risen by as much as 
0.8 percentage points within a year.                                            

I see three main factors for the success we have had with our customer business:
our renewed bonus scheme which is much more rewarding to our customers;         
successful integration of banking and non-life insurance operations; and our    
strong Finnish background.                                                      

The Group's earnings fell short of last year's record level but were            
nevertheless satisfactory. The banking business earnings were still close to    
record figures. Non-life and life insurance income was reduced by a             
significantly weakened investment environment.                                  

Our customers' financial standing is still solid. The Group's non-performing and
zero-interest receivables increased but remained exceptionally low. Our Group's 
business growth prospects and risk-bearing capacity—the latter a key ingredient 
to endure the current unstable market situation—are supported by our high       
capital adequacy, which, measured in terms of Tier 1 capital, is about double   
the Nordic average.                                                             

Protracted problems in the international financial market are also beginning to 
display symptoms in the Finnish real economy. Our economy will slow down clearly
compared with the recent years, but fears of a recession are premature. Our     national economy stands on a solid foundation. In the second half of the year,  
business growth will slow down somewhat and most of savings will be in the form 
of investment deposits. Because of the unstable investment markets, 2008 is     
becoming a record year in terms of deposits.                                    

Reijo Karhinen                                                                  

OP-Pohjola Group's Interim Report for 1 January-30 June 2008                    

Earnings before tax in January-June came to EUR 359 million (523). Prior to the 
payout of much higher customer bonuses than previously, earnings by Banking and 
Investment Services were at the previous year's record level. The instability of
the financial markets affected the result of other business segments, and       
therefore the Group's result fell short of last year's figures. The financial   
services group's business continued on its strong growth path with its market   
position further strengthened. The Group's capital adequacy and financial       
position continued to be solid. Own funds were 1.7 billion euros over the       
statutory minimum.

Conglomerates.                                                                  

Operating environment                                                           

The global economy has continued to show unfavourable developments. Higher      
energy costs and difficulties in the housing market will weaken the US economic 
outlook. Economic growth in the euro zone is slowing down because domestic      
demand is mild and the strong euro makes exports more difficult. On the other   
hand, growth in emerging markets, such as Russia and Asia, has slowed only a    little since exports have been offset by brisk domestic demand.                 

Higher energy and food prices in particular have accelerated inflation. In order
to dampen euro-area price pressures, the European Central Bank raised its       
benchmark interest rate to 4.25% in July. In addition to the tighter monetary   
policy, uncertainty still maintained by the international financial crisis has  
led to higher market interest rates.                                            

The Finnish economic outlook has also become gradually weaker. Expectations for 
manufacturing output are more cautious than before. Although the capacity       
utilisation rate is high, order books have become smaller and stocks have become
larger. The construction sector is facing a downward trend but the number of    
people employed in the service sector is still on the rise.                     

Consumer confidence in Finland is weak and consumers also feel less optimistic  
about their personal finances, although people still expect good employment and 
savings prospects.                                                              

Despite higher interest rates, demand for bank loans actually increased during  
the first half. Growth in corporate loans sped up whereas household demand for  
loans became slightly milder. It is projected that growth in the home mortgage  
portfolio will continue to slow down somewhat. During the current year, home    
prices in real terms began to show a slight fall.                               


The prolonged uncertainty in the equity market has been reflected in a marked   
fall in equity prices. This uncertainty has also affected mutual funds, with all
types of funds experiencing a fall in their capital. Likewise, premiums written 
in life insurance in the first months of the year fell short of the previous    
year. However, deposits have continued to grow at an rapid rate, focusing on    
term deposits.                                                                  

Delayed effects are expected on Non-life Insurance premiums written because of  
the economic slowdown. Premiums written within direct insurance are expected to 
rise in Finland by around 5% in 2008, the same as in 2007. Premiums written in  
the Baltic countries will continue to grow but will slow down considerably      
vis-à-vis the double-digit growth figures witnessed in the last few years.      


OP-Pohjola Group's earnings and total assets                                    

January-June                                                                    

Pre-tax earnings totalled EUR 359 million, as against EUR 523 million a year    
earlier. Earnings by the Banking and Investment Services before tax and before  
the 59% increase in OP bonuses comparable to surplus refunds were stable and at 
the previous year's record level. Nevertheless, financial market instability and
the market value depreciation of financial instruments during the report period 
diminished the result made by the Non-Life and Life Insurance segments and other
non-business segment operations to such an extent that the Group's earnings     
before tax were 31% smaller that the January-June 2007 record result.           

Return on equity stood at 9.4% from 14.7% a year ago. Earnings before tax at    
fair value was EUR 0 million (480)* as a result of a fall in market values of   
available-for-sale securities.                                                  

* Comparatives for 2007 are given in brackets. For income-statement and other   
aggregated figures, January-June 2007 figures serve as comparatives. For        
balance-sheet and other cross-sectional figures, figures on the previous balance
sheet date (31 December 2007) serve as comparatives.                            


Net interest income rose by 12% to EUR 568 million (509). As other income       
contracted, total income fell by 9.3% year on year. Other income declined by    
26%, or EUR 167, to EUR 484 million (652); this is primarily explained by the   
contraction of life and non-life insurance net investment income and by market  
value changes in the Group's liquidity reserve recognised in the income         
statement. These changes account for a total of 75%, or EUR 126 million, of the 
fall of other returns. The net investment income during the comparison period   
contained EUR 11 million in non-recurring items, whereas such income was not    
included in the report period profits.                                          

Net commissions totalled EUR 223 million (226), which is about the same as last 
year, despite diminished asset management commissions. Net income from Non-life 
Insurance amounted to EUR 178 million (206) and that of Life Insurance to EUR   
47 million (97). Net trading and investment income decreased by EUR 84 million  
from last year's figure and was EUR 18 million in the red. Net trading income   
was eroded by EUR 49 million impairment losses of the financial services group's
liquidity reserve, the result of wider credit spreads.                          

Expenses stood at EUR 606 million (579), up by 4.7% on the previous year. A     
significant part of this increase was due to higher personnel costs. The 8.9%   
rise in personnel costs resulted not only from an increase in staff numbers and 
the payroll bill but also by pension costs which had risen at a much higher rate
than wages and salaries. ICT expenses accounted for EUR 7.9 million of the total
of EUR 22 million other administrative costs. Other operating expenses year on  
year included a non-recurring expense of EUR 10 million.                        

Bonuses paid to owner-members and OP bonus customers rose by 59% and totalled to
EUR 64 million (40).                                                            

Net impairment losses on receivables increased to EUR 9.0 million (5.7). New    
impairment losses in gross terms totalled EUR 28 million, or 68% more than the  
year before. Reversals and recoveries of impairment losses totalled EUR 19      
million, or 73% more than the year before. Impairment losses on receivables     
remained extremely low.                                                         

Banking and Investment Services reported a profit of EUR 320 million (345)      
before tax. This was as much as a year earlier if you eliminate the effect of   
higher bonuses to owner-members and OP bonus customers. Non-life Insurance      
earnings before tax were EUR 40 million (83), showing a 52% year-on-year        
decrease. Non-life Insurance reported a combined ratio of 98.0% (97.9) and      
operating combined ratio** of 95.0% (94.9). Earnings before tax from Life       
Insurance were EUR 34 million (77). The results of both life and non-life       
insurance operations were weakened by falling net investment income.            

In the autumn of 2005 in connection with the Pohjola acquisition, the then OP   
Bank Group announced that it would seek income and cost synergies of about EUR  
91 million by the end of 2010. It is estimated that the decisions made by the   
end of the reporting period will yield cost savings of over EUR 55 million in   
2008. In 2010 the cost savings are estimated to rise to over EUR 65 million.    
Profit synergies achieved to date are estimated to amount to almost EUR 30      
million per year. Estimates of the total amount of synergy benefits already     
achieved or to be achieved by the end of the report period will therefore exceed
the target set in 2005. Immediate integration costs concerning the report period
totalled EUR 3 million (13). Project expenses related to information system     
integration, including internal personnel costs, totalled a good EUR 7 million. 

During the reporting period, OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative and           
TietoEnator signed an agreement to integrate and reorganise OP-Pohjola Group's  
ICT services. Major efficiency benefits will be achieved through the integration
of OP-Pohjola Group's datacentre services.

from the Pohjola acquisition and allocated to the business segment without the  
effect of changes in calculation bases.

On June 30, OP-Pohjola Group's total assets stood at EUR 71.5 billion (65.7), up
by 8.8% from those on 31 December 2007. During this reporting period,           
receivables from customers increased by 8.2% to EUR 48.5 billion (44.8),        
deposits by 11% to EUR 32.1 billion (29.0), while debt securities issued to the 
public decreased by 1.0% to EUR 13.9 billion.                                   

Equity capital decreased by 1.7% to EUR 5.5 billion (5.6) owing to the lower    
fair value reserve. The fair value reserve, adjusted for deferred tax assets,   
totalled EUR -277 million (-10). The main reason for the decrease in the fair   
value reserve during the reporting period was a dip in the market value of      
securities.                                                                     

On 30 June, the cooperative capital investments and supplementary cooperative   
capital investments of the member cooperative banks' owner-members totalled EUR 
719 million (689). Member banks paid a total of EUR 25 million in interest on   
the ordinary and supplementary cooperative capital for the financial year 2007. 
The Annual General Meeting of Pohjola Bank plc (OKO Bank plc until 29 February  
2008) resolved that the company will pay a dividend of EUR 0.65 for each Series 
A share and EUR 0.62 for each Series K share for 2007, totalling EUR 131 million
(131).

Earnings before tax for the second quarter were EUR 163 million, a EUR 114      
million year-on-year decrease, mainly attributable to lower market values of    
investment instruments and the consequences for insurance institutions' net     
investment income. Other operating income did not include any non-recurring     
capital gains, while a year ago the figure was EUR 6 million. Reported expenses 
grew by EUR 20 million. Year on year, second-quarter personnel costs increased  
by 8.9%, accounting for EUR 13 million of growth in total expenses. Returns to  
owner-members grew by EUR 12 million. Impairment losses on receivables came to  
EUR 7 million, or EUR 2 million higher than a year earlier. The fair value      
reserve (gross) shrank by EUR 108 million, while a year ago it increased by EUR 
63 million.                                                                     

Earnings before tax in the second quarter were EUR 32 million higher than in the
first.

Capital adequacy                                                                

Two sets of capital adequacy regulations                                        

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 own funds has
been set for the amalgamation of the cooperative banks calculated according to  
the regulations for capital adequacy specified in the Credit Institutions Act.  
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 nonetheless 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.                                                             

Transition to the capital adequacy calculation measurement in accordance with   
Basel II                                                                        

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 Supervision Authority standards.           

Since the beginning of 2008, OP-Pohjola Group has calculated its capital        
adequacy in compliance with Basel II. In the first stage, the capital           
requirement for the financial group's credit risk is calculated using the       
Standardised Approach (SA). In its calculation of capital requirement for credit
risk, OP-Pohjola Group will phase in the Internal Rating-based Approach (IRBA), 
with the aim of using this approach for the first exposure classes in 2008. The 
adoption of IRBA is expected to reduce OP-Pohjola Group's capital requirement.  
The use of internal ratings, however, makes the capital 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 stood at 12.3% (13.8) and Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio at     
12.3% (12.6).

* Converted into comparable figures                                             

On 1 January 2008, OP-Pohjola Group adopted a method recommended by the         
Financial Supervision Authority to include insurance company investments in the 
calculation of capital adequacy as referred to in the Act on Credit             
Institutions. After this change, the balance sheet value of the insurance       
company investments will be deducted from the company's own funds. The          
investments will be deducted from Tier 1 and 2 capital in equal proportions in  
accordance with the Basel II Capital Accords. As a result of this change, the   
company's own funds on 31 December 2007 converted into comparable figures were  
reduced by some EUR 378 million, which lowered the capital adequacy ratio by    
about 0.99 percentage points to 12.99%. The change had no major effect on the   
amount of Tier 1 capital. The actual adoption of capital adequacy calculation   
according to Basel II did not affect the financial group's own funds.           


Tier 1 own funds amounted to EUR 4,888 million on 30 June. Comparable Tier 1 own
funds stood at EUR 4,846 million on 31 December 2007. The result for the        
reporting period less the estimated dividend payout is included in Tier 1 own   
funds. OP-Pohjola Group's Tier 1 own funds increased by 0.9% during the report  
period.                                                                         

The amount of Tier 2 funds were reduced to zero following deductions from the   
item during the report period. Deductions in excess of the Tier 2 funds were    
made from the Tier 1 own funds. Comparable Tier 2 funds stood at EUR 44 million 
on 31 December 2007. At the end of the report period, own funds were reduced by 
a fair value reserve that was EUR -277 million in the red (-10). In March,      
Pohjola Bank plc issued a EUR 170 million debenture loan, classified as lower   
Tier 2 funds, with a maturity of ten years. Tier 2 funds without the fair value 
reserve grew to EUR 179 million (54).        

On 30 June, insurance company investments, deducted in equal proportions from   
Tier 1 and 2 funds, came to EUR 1,160 million (1,511). On the basis of the      
exemptions granted by the Financial Supervision Authority, investments by       
OP-Pohjola Group entities in venture capital funds, administered by OKO Venture 
Capital (Pohjola Capital Partners since 1 March 2008), are treated in the       
capital adequacy calculation in the same way as investments in shares in        
business or industrial corporations.                                            

On June 30, the ratio of hybrid capital to Tier 1 own funds was 3.8% (4.6). Tier
1 own funds do not include equity capital growth resulting from the             
IFRS-compliant measurement of pension liabilities and the assets covering them, 
or from the measurement at fair value of investment property.

* Credit and counterparty risk June 2008                                        


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 own funds 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. Own funds may not include   
items not available for covering the losses of other companies belonging to the 
conglomerate.                                                                   

Based on its interpretation issued on 31 March 2008, the Finnish Financial      
Supervision Authority altered the manner in which OP-Pohjola Group Mutual       
Insurance Company's equalisation provision is to be applied in capital adequacy 
calculation. As a result of this change, the capital adequacy referred to in the
Act on the Supervision of Financial and Insurance Conglomerates was reduced by  
EUR 196 million on 31 March. However, this has no material effect on the Group's
actual risk-bearing capacity.                                                   


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 1,718 million (1,753). Changes in the capital
adequacy calculation as specified in the Act on Credit Institutions increased   
the possibilities of using Tier 2 funds, which in effect compensates for the    
negative effect of the interpretation concerning OP-Pohjola Group Mutual        
Insurance Company.

OP-Pohjola Group's credit risk status has remained stable and credit risks low  
despite the strong growth of the loan and guarantee portfolio. Non-performing   
and zero-interest receivables came to EUR 204 million (147) on 30 June, which   
was 0.4% (0.3) of the loan and guarantee portfolio. The ratio of non-performing 
and zero-interest loans to the loan and guarantee portfolio remained low,       
although they rose by 22% from June 2007. Impairments losses on receivables were
also low. Gross impairment losses were recorded in the first half to the amount 
of EUR 28 million (17), which was 0.11% (0.07) of the loan and guarantee        
portfolio.                                                                      
OP-Pohjola Group's liquidity has remained good during the report period. The    
continuing uncertainty of the financial markets has not affected the            
availability of the Group's short- or long-term funding. Deposit funding has    
continued to increase its share of funding. The financial services group's      
mortgage bank, OP Mortgage Bank, issued another covered bond to the             
international financial market in May. The bond was well received and heavily   
oversubscribed. The amount of liquidity reserves totalled EUR 5.9 billion (5.7) 
at the end of June. Noticeably widening credit spreads resulted in the negative 
EUR 54 million mark-to-market valuation through a fall in the market value of   
notes and bonds included in liquidity reserves. Of this amount, EUR 49 million  
was recognised in the income statement and EUR 5 million in the fair value      
reserve.  Negative value changes will be reversed during the remaining term to  
maturity if the notes and bonds are not sold before their maturity and their    
issuer is not declared insolvent.                                               
OP-Pohjola Group's interest-rate risk                                           
exposure remained almost unchanged.                                             
In Non-life Insurance, January-June saw 101                                     
(103) major or medium-sized losses, with their claims incurred retained for own 
account totalling EUR 45 million (33). On 30 June, the investment portfolio of  
Non-life Insurance totalled EUR 2.6 billion (2.5), with bonds and bond funds    
accounting for 74% (71) and equities for 14% (16). The fixed-income portfolio's 
credit rating distribution was still good, as 83% of the fixed-income           
investments were in the top three rating categories (AAA-A). Owing to the       
disadvantageous investment environment, the January-June result on investment   
was -1.2% (3.5).                                                                

On 30 June, life insurance investment assets amounted to EUR 4.0 billion (4.2). 
The allocation of investments in Non-life Insurance has remained almost         
unchanged during the first half of the year. Fixed-income instruments accounted 
for 63% (64%) of the investment assets. Some 73% (75) of fixed-income           
investments belonged the top three rating categories. The return on investments 
for January-June came to -3.3% (1.9). The rising interest rates lowered         
fixed-income investment profits, and at the same time return on equity          
investments were hit by falling share performance.                              

Credit ratings                                                                  

Of the international credit rating agencies, Fitch Ratings provides a rating for
both OP-Pohjola Group and its central bank, Pohjola Bank plc. OP-Pohjola Group's
financial position also has a considerable impact on credit ratings issued for  
Pohjola Bank plc alone.

All of the credit rating agencies have confirmed a stable rating outlook for    
Pohjola Bank.                                                                   


OP-Pohjola Group's long-term financial targets                                  

OP-Pohjola Group's business strategy adopted in June 2006 describes the Group's 
long-term financial targets  set for risk-bearing capacity, profitability, risk 
appetite and efficiency.                                                        

Due to the fall in financial instruments' market values, the financial services 
group's profitability did not reach the long-term target.                       
The cost/income efficiency weakened from last year's 50% to 51%. The values for 
risk-bearing capacity and risk appetite were higher than the target levels.

Changes in OP-Pohjola Group's structure                                         

OP-Pohjola Group's consolidated financial statements include 229 member         
cooperative banks, OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative Consolidated and OP Bank
Group Mutual Insurance Company as well as six subsidiaries of the member banks. 
Karunan Osuuspankki has decided to merge with Sauvon Osuuspankki. In addition,  
the member banks Joensuun Osuuspankki and Kontiolahden Osuuspankki have decided 
to merge and establish a new member bank, Joensuun Seudun Osuuspankki.          

In accordance with the agreement between Pohjola Bank plc and Kesko Corporation,
the share capital of K-Finance Ltd was transferred to Pohjola Bank plc and the  
company was renamed Pohjola Finance Ltd. The boards of directors of Pohjola Bank
plc and Pohjola Finance Ltd have approved a plan whereby Pohjola Finance Ltd    
will merge with its parent company by no earlier than 30 September 2008.        

As part of the agreement between OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative and       
TietoEnator on datacentre services, the former sold TietoEnator and Ilmarinen   
Mutual Pension Insurance Company 34% of its FD Finanssidata Oy shares in May. As
a result, FD Finanssidata Oy is no longer consolidated in OP-Pohjola Group's    
financial statements as a subsidiary. This structural change has no material    
effect on the Group's result.                                                   

Pohjola Insurance Ltd and 52 Group member banks announced in March that they are
preparing a new operating model to have personnel working in insurance field    
operations to become employed by the local member banks. These plans concern    
some 250 people, most of which are already working in joint offices. Pohjola    
Insurance's Board approved of the plan in June, with the final decisions to be  
made this autumn.                                                        


Owner-members and customers                                                     

On 30 June, the cooperative member banks had 1,229,000 owner-members, which is  
47,000 more than a year earlier, and Helsinki OP Bank Plc, which operates in the
Helsinki Metropolitan Area, had a total of 1,028,000 OP bonus customers.        

Loyal customer bonuses earned by OP bonus customers totalled EUR 64 million, up 
by 59% on the previous year, this growth stemming particularly from the nearly  
40% increase in the value of accumulated bonuses as of the beginning of 2008. As
of May, bonus customers also began to receive bonuses for OP-Visa purchases.    
Bonuses earned by owner-members are stated in OP-Pohjola Group's income         
statement under 'Returns to owner-members'. OP bonus customers used a total of  
EUR 26 million (24) in bonuses for banking services during the first half, and  
since the autumn of 2007 bonuses can also have been used to pay for Pohjola's   
non-life insurance products. In January-June, bonuses worth EUR 12 million were 
used to pay insurance premiums.                                                 

OP-Pohjola Group had a total of 4,115,000 customers in Finland at the end of    
June, or 48,000 more than a year earlier. There were 3,715,000 private          
customers, up by 38,000 year on year, and 400,000 corporate customers, up by    
9,600. In addition, OP-Pohjola Group has approximately 200,000 non-life         
insurance customers in the Baltic countries. In the year to June, the number of 
joint banking and non-life insurance customers in Finland increased by 94,000 to
948,000 as a result of cross-selling. OP-Pohjola Group aims at increasing the   
number of joint customers to one million by the end of 2008.                    

On 30 June, the number of Pohjola's loyal customer households totalled 375,000, 
up by 19,700 from the level of 31 December 2007.                                


Personnel and incentive system                                                  

On 30 June, OP-Pohjola Group had a staff of 12,611, or 140 more than on 31      
December 2007 and 208 more than a year ago. About 95% of OP-Pohjola Group's     
personnel are members in the Group's Personnel Fund. A management incentive     
scheme is also in place within the Group.                                       


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,       
Central Cooperative plays a pivotal role in developing and steering OP-Pohjola  
Group's business.                                                               

OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative's Annual Cooperative Meeting of 27 March   
2008 re-elected the following members due to resign to the Cooperative's        
Supervisory Board for a term ending in 2011: Mr Jari Laaksonen, Managing        
Director; Mr Olli Lehtilä, Managing Director; Mr Juhani Leminen, Managing       
Director; and Ms Marita Marttila, Senior Nursing Officer. Jaakko Pehkonen,      
Professor, and Timo Parmasuo, Chairman of the Board of Directors, were appointed
as new Supervisory Board members.  In addition, the Meeting elected Mr Jussi    
Ruuhela, Managing Director, for the term ending in 2009. The Supervisory Board  
comprises 34 members.                                                           

At its first meeting following election, the Supervisory Board re-elected Mr    
Seppo Penttinen Chairman and Mr Paavo Haapakoski and Mr Jukka Hulkkonen Vice    
Chairmen.                                                                       

The Annual Cooperative Meeting re-elected KPMG Oy Ab, a firm of authorised      
public accountants, the auditor of OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative and     
OP-Pohjola Group for the financial year 2008.                                   

As proposed by Central Cooperative's Executive Board, the Meeting decided to    
change the corporate name of OP Bank Group Central Cooperative to OP-Pohjola    
Group Central Cooperative. The new name was registered in the Trade Register on 
21 April 2008.                                                                  


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 totals EUR 21        
million. Of these investments, EUR 12 million was allocated to banking and      
investment operations, EUR 5 million to non-life insurance operations and EUR 4 
million to life insurance operations. The integration of banking and insurance  
operations information systems resulted in some EUR 7 million in expenses during
the report period.                                                              


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. Central         
Cooperative and its 233 member banks are ultimately responsible for each other's
liabilities and commitments. Central Cooperative's members at the end of the    
reporting period comprised OP-Pohjola Group's 229 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 for the rest of the year                                                

The favourable operating environment which the financial sector has enjoyed for 
many years has now reached a turning point. Considerable uncertainty and        
increasing investment-market instability in the sector may slow down growth and 
undermine prospects for profit performance.                                     

OP-Pohjola Group's aim is still to exceed the market growth rate in accordance  
with its strategy. 2008 earnings before tax will fall below the record figures  
of 2007.                                                                        

All forward-looking statements in this bulletin 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.     

OP-Pohjola Group's business segment reporting was changed as of the second      
quarter of 2008: Pohjola Bank Group's asset management and central bank         
operations which used to be included in Banking and Investment Services will    
from now on be reported as part of the non-business-segment Other Operations.   
The comparison period figures for 2007 have been changed to correspond to the   
new segment division. The changes concern the Banking and Investment Services   
and Other Operations.                                                           

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 
Bank plc'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.                                

As a result of the new division into segments, Other Operations, which does not 
fall under any segment, grew in size. Pohjola Bank Group's central bank and     
asset management, which are now included under Other Operations, include the    
financial services group's EUR 6 billion liquidity reserve, Pohjola Bank Group's
capital market asset management and the central bank operations offered to Group
member banks by Pohjola Bank.                                                   

Other Operations already included operations that supported all business        
segments, particularly the operations of OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative   
and FD Finanssidata Oy (up to May 2008) and Pohjola's Group management. Costs of
the services which Central Cooperative and FD provide for the business segments 
are allocated to the segments in the form of internal service charges. The      
allocation of equity to the business segments is done by means of an internal   
bank, which means that any capital exceeding the target will be reflected in the
Other Operations earnings.

Banking and Investment Services                                                 

During the first half of 2007, the Banking and Investment Services operating    
environment had both its ups and downs: OP-Pohjola Group's market position      
improved despite the difficult operating environment. Moreover, credits and     
deposits continued to grow, whereas mutual fund capital declined along with the 
mutual fund markets.                                                            

On 30 June, OP-Pohjola Group's loan portfolio stood at EUR 48.5 billion (44.8)  
and the guarantee portfolio at EUR 2.6 billion (2.4), the former growing by 8.2%
from the year-start level.  The acquisition on K-Finance accounted for some 0.5 
percentage points of the increase. The loan portfolio grew by 14.4% (13.6) in   
the year to June. The market share of the loan portfolio grew by 0.1 percentage 
points to 31.5% over the previous year.                                         


The home mortgage portfolio totalled EUR 23.1 billion (21.5) at the end of June.
During the report period, home mortgages increased by 7.2% (6.8) and in the year
to June by 14.1% (14.8). At the end of June, the market share of home mortgages 
was 35.4%, or 0.8 percentage points higher year on year.                        

The average margin on new home mortgages was 0.01 percentage points lower than  
in the first quarter of 2008. Fixed-rate home mortgages accounted for a low     
share of all home mortgages at 2.3% (0.6).                                      

The financial services group's mortgage Bank, OP Mortgage Bank issued in May a  
EUR 1.0 billion covered bond, which will continue to improve OP-Pohjola Group's 
already strong competitiveness and position in the home mortgage market.        

On 30 June, the consumer credit portfolio amounted to EUR 3.5 billion (3.3),    
showing an increase of 7.0% from 31 December 2007 and 11% from 30 June 2007.    

On 30 June, the Group's corporate loan portfolio stood at EUR 12.6 billion      
(11.3), and the guarantee portfolio at EUR 2.3 billion (2.1). The corporate loan
portfolio grew by 11.7% during the report period and by 18.4% in the year to    
June. The increase in corporate loans is partly explained by capital market     
instability, which has increased the popularity of bank financing in proportion 
to companies' direct funding from the capital markets. The market share of      
corporate loans was 25.9% on 30 June, or 0.5 percentage points higher than a    
year earlier.                                                                   

On 30 June, deposits totalled EUR 32.1 billion (29.0), or 18.2% higher than a   
year ago and 10.6% more than on 31 December 2007. The growth took place mainly  
in investment deposits, which grew by 40% to EUR 16.9 billion (14.0). The market
share of corporate loans of deposit was 32.8% on 30 June, that is, at the same  
level as a year earlier.                                                        

On 30 June, OP-Pohjola Group customers had 1.7 million (1.6) international      
OP-Visa, OP-Visa Electron, OP-Visa Debit or OP-MasterCard cards. By the end of  
July, over 500,000 cards had the K-Group's Plussa bonus point feature following 
the card cooperation started with the K-Group in 2007.                          

Capital invested in OP-Pohjola Group's mutual funds stood at EUR 11.9 billion   
(14.1) billion. The amount of capital fell with the market trends by 15.3%      
during the report period and by 20.7% since June 2007. On 30 June, OP-Pohjola   
Group held a 21.4% market share of the capital of mutual funds registered in    
Finland, or 0.1 percentage points lower than a year earlier. Net subscriptions  
to OP-Pohjola Group's mutual funds totalled EUR -1,268 million (1,232).         

On 30 June, assets managed by Pohjola Bank's asset management were worth EUR    
28.8 billion (31.3), EUR 11 billion (13.1) of which was invested in OP-Pohjola  
Group's mutual funds. OP-Pohjola Group companies accounted for EUR 6.4 billion  
of assets managed by Pohjola Bank.                                              

Assets managed in accordance with the OP-Private operating model totalled EUR   
3.0 billion (2.9). Stockbroking for households totalled 252,000 trades during   
the reporting period, or down by 12.8% on the previous year.                    

Earnings and risk exposure                                                      
Banking and Investment Services reported earnings of EUR 320 million (345)      
before tax for the first half of 2008, down by 7.2% on a year earlier. The      
decline was caused by the higher bonuses paid to customers, totalling EUR 64    
million (40) in the report period. Without these higher payouts to owner-members
and loyal customers, the Banking and Investment Services result would have been 
at the same level as a year ago.                                                

Net interest income increased by 5.8% to EUR 527 million and net commissions and
fees by 5.2% to EUR 239 million, the increase mainly stemming from business     
growth. Personnel costs rose by 6.4% and other expenses by 8.1%. The cost/income
ratio stood at 51% (50).                                                        

Impairment losses on receivables almost doubled from the year-ago figures to EUR
11 million (6), but are still very low considering the volume of the business.  

The Group's non-performing and zero-interest receivables increased but remained 
at low levels, totalling EUR 204 million on June 2008, or 22.5% more than a year
ago. Non-performing and zero-interest loans are stated net of impairments of    
specific receivables and groups of receivables, which amounted to EUR 88 million
(87). The ratio of non-performing and zero-interest receivables to the loan and 
guarantee portfolio was 0.4, the same as a year ago.

Non-life Insurance                                                              

On 30 June, the number of loyal customer households within the Non-life         
Insurance segment totalled 375,000, showing an increase of 19,700 from 31       
December 2007. Since the autumn of 2007, it has been possible to use OP bonuses 
earned through banking transactions to pay insurance premiums. In January-June, 
bonuses worth EUR 13 million were used to pay insurance premiums. Bonuses were  
used to pay almost 220,000 bills and some 50,000 bills were paid using bonuses  
alone.                                                                          

Insurance premium revenue rose by 7.8% to EUR 456 million (423). Growth remained
strong within the Private Customers division because of closer cooperation      
between Group member banks and the non-life insurance operations, and because of
the increase in the number of loyal customer households. Insurance premium      
revenue from Private Customers improved by 12% to EUR 186 million.              

Within the Corporate Customers division, insurance premium revenue amounted to  
EUR 241 million, up by 5%. The increase of earnings in statutory accident       
insurance in the latter part of the period under review boosted growth. Premium 
revenue generated by the Baltic business increased by 6.4% to EUR 29 million    
(27).                                                                           

Pohjola Insurance Ltd's market share of premiums written in non-life insurance  
in 2007 was 26.9%, against 26.3% a year earlier. In 2007, Pohjola Insurance     
became the market leader in non-life insurance. Market share data on premiums   
written in non-life insurance come in only once a year.                         

Earnings and risk exposure                                                      
Earnings before tax from Non-life Insurance amounted to EUR 40 million (83) in  
the first half of 2008. However, as to the balance on technical account, the    
first part of 2008 was somewhat better than that of 2007. Net investment income 
recognised under earnings came to EUR 55 million, or EUR 33 million higher year 
on year (88). Net investment income at fair value was EUR -33 million (87).     
Results for the same period a year ago included EUR 6 million in capital gains  
on the sale of the marine hull insurance business.                              

Insurance premium revenue came to EUR 456 million (423). Customer indemnities   
totalled EUR 309 million (283). The risk ratio was 67.0 (66.0). The             
indemnifications paid for major losses were higher than a year ago. The number  
of major or medium-sized losses in excess of EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.5 million in
pension liabilities) totalled 101 (103), accounting for EUR 45 million (33) of  
total claims incurred. Another factor that contributed to higher                
indemnifications paid out was caused by the growing insurance portfolio.        

Operating expenses and loss adjustment expenses showed a moderate development,  
totalling EUR 128 million (122). The cost ratio developed favourably, standing  
at 28.0 (28.9). The operating combined ratio was 95.0 (94.9).                   

On 30 June, the investment portfolio of Non-life Insurance totalled EUR 2.6     
billion (2.4), with bonds and bond funds accounting for 74% (71) and equities   
for 14% (16).                                                                   

The average remaining maturity of the fixed-income portfolio was 4.9 years and  
the duration 4.5 years (3.8). Due to unfavourable developments in the equity    
market, return on investment at fair value stood at -1.2% (3.5).

Life Insurance                                                                  

The operating environment was unfavourable for the life insurance business in   
the first part of 2008. Negative developments in the investment market limited  
life insurance companies' investment activities and weakened demand for         
unit-linked products. Premiums written in the domestic life insurance market    
were 14.2% lower than a year ago, mainly due to a fall in premiums written in   
endowment insurance policies.                                                   

Year on year, OP-Pohjola Group's premiums written in life and pension insurance 
decreased by 7.2% to EUR 391 million (422). Despite this reduction, OP-Pohjola  
Group increased its market share in premiums written in life insurance, as      
evidenced by the June-end market share of 33.5%, or 4.7 percentage points higher
than a year earlier. Premiums written in endowment insurance declined by 22.1%. 
Premiums written in pension insurance grew by 36,4%, while those written in     
personal pension insurance increased by 5.2%. Premiums written in unit-linked   
policies accounted for 55.2% of those written in endowment insurance and        
personal pension insurance.                                                     

Life insurance claims paid by OP-Pohjola Group totalled EUR 324 million (279),  
of which surrenders accounted for EUR 169 million (111). Reported pension payout
came to EUR 23 million (17).                                                    

OP-Pohjola Group's market share of insurance savings through life and pension   
insurance policies increased by 0.2 percentage points to 19.7% since year-end   
2007. Unit-linked policies accounted for 36% (41) of insurance savings in life  
and pension insurance.                                                          

Earnings and risk exposure                                                      
Earnings before tax from Life Insurance for the first part of 2008 were EUR 34  
million, that is, less than half of the previous year's figure (77). Owing      
particularly to the fall in equity markets, a loss of EUR 190 million before tax
at fair value (178) was recorded. The fair value reserve change before tax stood
at EUR -224 million (-8). Net income from Life Insurance was EUR 53 million     
(99). Net income from investment assets other than those covering unit-linked   
insurance stood at EUR 78 million (110). The provision worth EUR 10 million for 
future supplementary benefits made at the end of 2007 was reversed during the   
reporting period.                                                               

Personnel costs increased to EUR 4 million (3) and other administrative expenses
by 9.5 to EUR 24 million (27). Other expenses include EUR 13 million (11) in    
commissions paid to the sales network.                                          

On 30 June, total insurance contract liabilities within OP-Pohjola Group's life 
insurance operations stood at EUR 5.7 billion (6.1), down by 3.2% from 31       
December 2007. Interest-bearing contract liabilities accounted for 64% and      
unit-linked for 36%.                                                            

Life insurance investment assets, excluding assets covering unit-linked         
insurance, amounted to EUR 4.0 billion (4.2). The reporting period saw no major 
changes in the structure of the investment portfolio. The investment environment
was particularly difficult in the first half of 2008 and therefore the return on
investment at fair value stood at 3.3% (1.9).

Earnings before tax from Other Operations in January-June fell EUR 50 million   
short of the previous year, coming to EUR 32 million in the negative (18), the  
main reason being impairment losses affecting the Group's liquidity reserve.    
These accounted for EUR 42 million in the report period. Therefore the net      
trading income fell to EUR -45 million. The net interest income was EUR 15      
million (11) and net investment income EUR 7 million (20). 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 59 million (51) were personnel costs and EUR 113       
million (111) other costs. Earnings were burdened by the liquidated damages     
ruled by the Arbitral Tribunal concerning the shareholder agreement dispute over
Nooa Savings Bank Ltd. This affected other costs by EUR 10 million.
