Denmark's biggest financial institution, Danske Bank, today reported a near fourfold rise in quarterly pretax profits, beating forecasts on the back of a drop in loan impairments.
The Nordic region's second-biggest lender said fourth-quarter pretax profits rose to 2.26 billion Danish crowns ($410 million), beating an average 1.86 billion forecast in a poll of analysts.
The bank said it would not propose a dividend for 2012. ( C) Reuters
