Länsförsäkringar Hypotek: January – June 2022
"The period was characterised by changes in the macro environment with rising inflation, higher interest rates and reduced growth prospects. The housing market started to show signs of a weaker trend, with indications that prices have started to fall. In the future, mortgage customers will encounter higher mortgage rates, which naturally impacts household purchasing power. With our credit process, we can rest assured that Länsförsäkringar’s mortgage customers have healthy margins to cope with higher interest rates and we can confirm that our credit quality remains very high. High competition remains a feature of the mortgage market. Following a slightly weaker start to the year in terms of volumes, growth was again stronger in recent months. Länsförsäkringar Hypotek’s earnings for the first half of the year were stable and we are well prepared financially.” says Anders Borgcrantz, President of Länsförsäkringar Hypotek.
The period in brief:
- Operating profit declined 9% to SEK 636.7 M (696.2) and the return on equity amounted to 6.8% (8.1).
- Net interest declined 3% to SEK 1,343 M (1,380).
