Outlook

Exceptional risks are still present in the business environment. Despite geopolitical tensions, the basic forecast for the global economy for the next few years is stable, and the Finnish economy is expected to recover gradually. However, escalation of geopolitical crises or an increase in trade barriers may weaken confidence in the economy in Finland and affect capital markets and the business environment of OP Pohjola and its customers.

A full-year earnings estimate for 2026 will only be provided for OP Pohjola, in OP Pohjola’s financial statements bulletin and in its interim and half-year financial reports.

The most significant uncertainties affecting OP Corporate Bank’s earnings performance relate to developments in the business environment, changes in the investment environment, and developments in impairment loss on receivables. Forward-looking statements expressing the management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions are based on the current view on developments in the economy, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.
