(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
"Our relationship banking model has generated a robust first quarter and profit
before credit loss provisions increased by 2 per cent. The number of customers
increased in all segments and asset gathering activities continued to attract
net new money. Costs developed according to plan and asset quality has remained
strong.
We are proud to have been recognised by customers as "Overall best bank for
large corporates and institutions in the Nordics 2011", according to a
compilation of all Prospera's surveys for 2011. This is a merit to our focused
expansion in the Nordic and German wholesale markets and it spurs us to continue
to build with even more determination on this recognition", says Annika
Falkengren, SEB's President and CEO, commenting on the first quarter 2012
result.

2011). The customer business, which is generated through the divisions, was 15
per cent higher than last year.
Operating income amounted to SEK 9.6bn, down 1 per cent compared to the first
quarter 2011. Operating expenses, at SEK 5.7bn, were 2 per cent lower than the
first quarter 2011.
