High trading activity in combination with a continued strong net interest income means that we are today reporting the best quarterly results in Avanza’s history. Despite the recent stock market turmoil and trade policy announcements, I am optimistic about the future. Our customers have sound savings habits and are aware of the importance of saving also in challenging times.”
