levels going forward. The BANK of Greenland's customers are
still not affected significantly, however.
In addition to the individual write-downs, the Bank has main-
tained a significant management reserve of DKK 42.8 million to
counter risks.
The profit before tax is TDKK 143,910, having increased by
TDKK 11,451 from the same period of 2025.
Development in the quarter
Net interest and fee income amounted to TDKK 105,413 in
Q1, TDKK 113,352 in Q2, and TDKK 109,159 in Q3. This de-
velopment can primarily be related to the share dividend on
the Bank's sector equities holdings in Q2, and improved net in-
terest income.
Total costs amounted to TDKK 69,905 in Q1, TDKK 56,276 in
Q2, and TDKK 62,822 in Q3. Staff expenses decreased in Q2,
since in Q1 holiday allowance, etc. is paid, but is not paid in the
subsequent quarters. Other administration costs also de-
creased, due to the aforementioned lower payment to BEC. In
Q3, costs matched expectations.
As a consequence, the profit before value adjustments and
write-downs decreased from Q2 to Q3. The profit amounted
to TDKK 36,988 in Q1, TDKK 58,529 in Q2 and TDKK 47,793
in Q3. Profit before tax increased to DKK 61.2 million in Q2
2026, from DKK 36.3 million in Q1 2026. In Q3, profit before
tax amounted to DKK 46.5 million.
Lending decreased by TDKK 22,687 in Q1, increased by TDKK
137,850 in Q2, and decreased by TDKK 8,180 in Q3. Overall,
this corresponds to an increase of 2% from the end of 2025.
At the start of the year, it was expected that the economic de-
velopment in Greenland would lead to moderate growth in the
Bank's lending.
Deposits increased by TDKK 560,969 in Q1 2026, but de-
creased by TDKK 572,987 in Q2 and by TDKK 190,326 in Q3.
Balance sheet and equity
During the first three quarters the Bank’s lending saw a satisfac-
tory increase of TDKK 106,983 to TDKK 5,028,743, while the
Bank’s guarantees to customers increased by TDKK 96,812
from the end of 2025 and amounted to TDKK 1,372,386 at
the end of September 2026.
In the annual reallocation the Bank acquired additional sector
equities in 2026. At 30 September 2026, equities, etc.
amounted to TDKK 188,938, compared to TDKK 170,179 at
the end of 2025.
The pensions area, comprising assets linked to pool schemes,
continued to perform well, amounting to TDKK 837,565 at
30 September 2026, compared to TDKK 780,071 at the end of
2025.
At the end of September 2026, the Bank’s deposits, which pre-
dominantly comprise on-demand deposits, amounted to TDKK
7,671,629, which is a decrease of TDKK 202,344 from the end
of 2025. The Bank continues to have a stable deposit/lending
ratio of approximately 153%.
After payment of the dividend of TDKK 144,000 for 2025
adopted by the Annual General Meeting, the Bank's equity in-
creased from TDKK 1,599,024 to TDKK 1,602,552.
Total assets thereby decreased by TDKK 51,320 to TDKK
10,923,140.
Uncertainty of recognition and measurement
The principal uncertainties concerning recognition and meas-
urement are related to write-downs on lending, provisions on
guarantees and non-utilised credit facilities, together with the
valuation of properties, unlisted securities and financial instru-
ments. The management assesses that the presentation of the
accounts is subject to an appropriate level of uncertainty.
