DNB--
DNB's net banking product breakdown revealed that corporate banking contributed 59.3%, retail banking accounted for 34.5%, and other activities, including insurance, savings management, and asset management, constituted 6.2% [2]. As of 2024, the group held NOK 1,487.8 billion in current deposits and NOK 2,251.5 billion in current credits.
The bank's performance was impacted by the shift in Norway's monetary policy, which has moved from high rates to easing, signaling slimmer margins ahead. This change is expected to affect the bank's profitability as inflation and growth prospects soften [1].
Additionally, a wave of consolidation among savings banks is challenging DNB's dominance in the Norwegian market, increasing competition at home [1]. Despite these challenges, DNB continues to experience strong lending growth and high customer activity, indicating resilience in its core operations.
