Risk

Risk is uncertainty in some form and is a natural ingredient in all types of operations. Swedbank has invested substantial effort into developing methods for the most efficient risk management possible, thereby protecting Swedbank against unwanted risk-taking. One cornerstone in this development is the implementation of a generic risk process.

Risk denotes a potentially negative impact on a company that can arise due to current internal processes or future internal or external events. The concept of risk comprises both the likelihood that an event will occur and the impact it would have on the company.
