    Key takeaways Q1 2026

    Q4 2025 Q1 2026

    • Changes to regulatory assumptions, with a decreased symmetrical adjustment of the equity stress (SA) and an increased volatility adjustment for the interest rate curve (VA) had a positive effect. A significant strengthening of NOK against SEK (7%) also contributed positively.

    • A high booked tax rate, dividend provision and inclusion of the first NOK 1bn tranche in share buybacks had a negative effect on solvency.
