- Swedbank's financial results improved significantly in Q1 2010 compared to Q4 2009, with a profit of SEK 547 million versus a loss of SEK 1.788 billion previously.
- Non-performing loans increased slightly by SEK 1.5 billion excluding foreign exchange effects, though asset quality continues to strengthen overall as property prices stabilize in CEE markets.
- The bank's resilience has greatly increased through measures like reducing CEE lending, establishing restructuring units, and strengthening liquidity and capital positions. However, some risks remain from central bank exit strategies and fiscal consolidations.
