Profit analysis
Operating profit amounted to SEK 3 773m (3 179) and net interest income to SEK 4 147m (4 069).
The net interest income rose marginally during the year. Both interest income and interest expense increased as a result of rising short-term market rates and growing volumes of lending and funding. Interest expense was also affected by the average maturities on all funding from the money market and capital market being further prolonged.
Net commissions mainly consist of costs arising from the interchange with the savings banks and partly owned banks. These commission costs amounted to SEK 609m (562). A new long-term agreement with the savings banks and partly owned banks is valid from the 1st of July 2011 to 30th of June 2017, with the possibility to extend the agreement.
Net gains and losses on financial items at fair value (NGL) include realized and unrealized changes in market values. In April 2009 a gradual transition was initiated to increase amortized cost accounting and hedge accounting by applying fair value hedge accounting and cash flow hedging, which in the long term will reduce the effect of the so called fair value option. Net gains and losses on financial items at fair value amounted to SEK 233m (-206). The single most important cause to this trend is that long-term market rates have plunged during the year, which has had a positive effect on the P/L.
