Lilja Björk Einarsdóttir, CEO of Landsbankinn:

“Performance in the first nine months of the year is good and builds on the performance of all the Bank’s segments. Performance of insurances was also solid and the alignment of TM with the Bank’s operations to leverage the strengths of both companies. It is particularly encouraging to see that young people are increasingly choosing to invest for the future with Landsbankinn. The cost-income ratio for the first nine months of the year was 33%, one of the lowest on record. Following a ruling by the Supreme Court of Iceland, we have made a precautionary entry in the amount of ISK 2.4 billion against housing mortgages loans to consumers in the Bank’s credit portfolio.

Loan growth was moderate and entirely on the corporate side. We do not anticipate much lending growth in the near future and are experiencing slower economic activity, as is addressed in the new economic forecast from Landsbankinn Economic Research that was published yesterday. There was a contraction in housing mortgage loans due to more borrowers choosing inflation-indexed loans from pension funds. We will endeavour to offer housing mortgages on competitive terms both to first-time buyers and other customers. Following the ruling of the Supreme Court of Iceland in the case against Íslandsbanki, we are now reviewing the terms on variable interest rates on new housing mortgage loans - this work is nearing completion. Landsbankinn is the largest lender in the housing loan market and we have focused on resolving this issue speedily to reduce uncertainty as much as is possible under the circumstances. 

A significant milestone was reached in the Bank’s history in July, when Landsbankinn sold Austurstræti 11 and three connected buildings on Hafnarstræti. In recent years, we have reduced the Bank’s square meter footprint by some 40%. We continue to place strong emphasis on sound operations and continuous improvement, always striving to see things from our customers’ perspective - an approach that results in satisfied customers and long-term relationships. That is at the core of how we think about running the Bank.”
