Factors that could lead to an upgrade » Upward pressure on DNB's debt and deposit rating is unlikely in the near term given the negative outlook. The outlook could return to stable if DNB: (1) further reduces its asset vulnerability, especially in relation to oil-related and offshore exposures as well as to historically more volatile segments, such as shipping and CRE; (2) maintains strong and stable earnings generation without increasing its risk profile; and (3) preserves sustained access to international capital markets. Factors that could lead to a downgrade » Downwards pressure on the ratings could develop if: (1) DNB's financing conditions become challenging; (2) its asset quality were to deteriorate beyond our expectations and lead to further increase of the bank's credit costs; (3) its credit profile substantially deteriorates due to adverse developments in the Norwegian oil, offshore and real-estate markets; (4) DNB increases its involvement in more risky operations such as capital market activities; and/or (5) the eventual passage of the official resolution law (BRRD) in Norway and revision of our government support assumptions.

The newly merged bank, DnB NOR Bank ASA, was registered in January 2004. The bank was renamed DNB Bank ASA in November 2011. Detailed credit considerations As the leading bank in Norway, DNB has a solid banking franchise and status as the nation's flagship bank DNB's sizeable domestic franchise is a key positive rating driver, supporting the bank's profitability and asset quality. DNB is Norway's largest financial institution, with a dominant and sustainable market share of 29% in retail loans and 31% in corporate loans domestically as of June 2017, according to Norges Bank. DNB achieves stable earnings generation capacity aided by the supportive operating environment, the bank's solid customer base and pricing power, and high brand recognition in Norway. DNB is Norway's most international bank. The loan portfolio of the bank's international units accounted for around 23% of total loans at the end of December 2016, thus adding diversification to DNB's earnings and risk. 3 30 January 2018 DNB Bank ASA: Update to credit analysis MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS In contrast with European banks that were nationalised during the recent financial crisis, we continue to view DNB as the government's flagship financial institution.

  • How Selection Mechanisms in Financial Institutions Contribute to Regional Path Development
    How selection mechanisms in financial institutions contribute to regional path development Martin Gjelsvik Research Manager/Professor II IRIS/University of Stavanger, Norway E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper addresses an issue absent in most studies on regional economic development, the role of financial institutions. The study concentrates on how the financial institutions select which firms and projects to fund, and how the selection mechanisms enable or constrain development trajectories in their respective regions. The study is guided by an evolutionary perspective on regional economic development, invoking the concept of path dependency. In that context, financial institutions may contribute to path extension, path renewal, path transplantation or path creation. The paper is based on a study of financial institutions in four Norwegian regions, and offers micro-level insights on what is selected to form the four respective path developments. We find that banks primarily support path extensions and to some degree path renewal. Venture capital has turned into private equity funds and has become more risk averse. They contribute primarily to restructuring of existing industries. Seed capital to fund start-ups is scarce, and has become even scarcer after the financial crisis. 1 Introduction Financial institutions are obviously a vital element in the regional innovation ecology. However, they are mostly absent in accounts of regional innovation systems. When financial institutions are dealt with in this context, the focus is generally confined to the role of venture capital. Surprisingly, the role of banks in regional development are left out. This paper addresses this gap by discussing the role of a differentiated set of financial institutions, including banks, venture capital, seed capital and wealthy individuals.

  • Three Episodes of Financial Fragility in Norway Since the 1890S by Karsten R Gerdrup*

ISSN 1020-0959 (print) ISSN 1682-7678 (online) Abstract This paper provides for the first time a comparative study of three major banking crises in Norway (1899-1905, 1920-28 and 1988-92), and presents financial and macroeconomic data spanning more than 130 years. Financial sector development appears to be closely linked to booms and busts in economic activity during these years. The boom periods that preceded each of the three crises all have some common features: they were characterised by significant bank expansion, considerable asset price inflation and increased indebtedness. The non-financial sector increased its debt only slightly more than its income during the first two boom periods, but subsequent deflation increased its debt burden.

Profits for the year were NOK 2 590 million, as against NOK 2 702 million a year earlier. Earnings per share came to NOK 4.04, compared with NOK 4.22 in 1996. The Board of Directors has proposed an ordinary dividend of NOK 1.35 per share plus a supplementary dividend of NOK 0.40 per share, totalling NOK 1.75 per share. At the end of 1997, the DnB Group had nearly NOK 300 billion in funds under management. Growth in lending in most areas of activity offset the decline in interest margins.

  • Bergen Bank, DNC Og Kreditkassen
    BERGEN BANK – MANGE BEKKER SMÅ GJØR EN STOR Å Av Svein Røer og Leif Bjornes Ovennevnte tittel er hentet fra 150 års jubileet til Bergen Bank i 1980, og gir et meget godt bilde på hvordan en storbank blir til. Historien frem til Bergen Banks etablering ved fusjon mellom de to store Bergensbankene Bergens Privatbank og Bergens Kreditbank i 1975 har omfattet mange fusjoner og oppkjøp av mindre forretnings- og privatbanker. Bergens Privatbank startet i 1855 og var en ren Bergens-bank frem til 1912, da den etablerte egen filial i Odda. Neste skritt tok Bergens Privatbank over til Østlandet ved fusjonen med Revisjonsbanken som hadde kontorer i Oslo, Sandvika, Lillestrøm og Sørumsand. Deretter følger mange fusjoner i årene frem til 1975. Bergens Kreditbank var opprinnelig Kreditkassens filial i Bergen frem til 1876. Dette året ble banken etablert og overtok filialen til Kreditkassen i Bergen. Mellomakten med Andresens Bank som ”Foreningsbanken” fra 1919 til 1928 var ikke vellykket og begge banker oppstod som selvstendige enheter igjen i 1928. Oversikten må ut fra dette deles i tre - røtter, Bergens Privatbanks, Bergens Kreditbanks og Kristiania Industri og Handelsbank, 1917. Overtatt av Bergens Bergen Banks. Kreditbank i 1948.
