Risk and capital managementRisk and capital management

Danske Bank considers the management of risk and capital to be among its core competencies and key factors in providing a stable, high return to shareholders.

A key component of Danske Bank’s business strategy is for risk management to support the objective of being a strong financial partner with insight and transparency in risk-taking.

The Danske Bank Group's capital management aims to ensure efficient use of capital to meet the Group's overall capital targets. The Group's risk profile complies with the capital targets and implies, among other things, that the Group must have sufficient capital to cover both organic growth and current fluctuations in the Group's exposure.
