Dividend

Swedbank's objective is to maintain a dividend corresponding to around 40 percent of the profit for the year excluding non-recurring items over a business cycle.

For the 2007 financial year, Swedbank’s Board of Directors recommended that the Annual General Meeting adopt a resolution for a cash dividend of SEK 9.00 per share. This corresponded to a total dividend of SEK 4,638m and a payout ratio of 35 percent.
