First half of 2025
Impairment of loans, etc. amounted to TDKK 14,520, com-
pared to TDKK 11,272 for the same period in 2024. The Bank
sees continued satisfactory creditworthiness in the loan portfo-
lio. The impairment level is still modest and the impairment ra-
tio for the period is 0.2%.
Despite uncertain macroeconomic prospects and geopolitical
instability, Greenland and the BANK of Greenland’s customers
are not significantly challenged so far. However, the future eco-
nomic development is subject to uncertainty.
In addition to the individual write-downs, on this basis the Bank
has maintained a significant management reserve of DKK 39.7
million to counter risks.
The profit before tax is TDKK 84,414, and is thereby TDKK
35,726 lower than for the same period in 2024.
Development in the quarter
Net interest and fee income amounted to TDKK 94,028 in Q1,
and TDKK 111,691 in Q2. This development can primarily be
related to the share dividend on the Bank's sector equities
holdings in Q2.
Total costs amounted to TDKK 64,384 in Q1 and TDKK
63,992 in Q2. Staff expenses decreased in Q2, since in Q1 holi-
day allowance, etc. is paid, but is not paid in the subsequent
quarters. Other administration costs were by and large un-
changed between the quarters.
The profit before value adjustments and write-downs thereby
increased to TDKK 49,334 in Q2, which is TDKK 4,017 higher
than in Q1 2025. The profit before tax increased to DKK 45.3
million in Q2 2025, from DKK 39.0 million in Q1 2025.
Lending increased by TDKK 78,749 in Q1, and by TDKK
43,918 in Q2, which overall corresponds to an increase of 3%
from the end of 2023. At the start of the year, it was expected
that the favourable economic development in Greenland would
increase the Bank's lending.
Deposits increased by TDKK 268,070 in Q1 2025, but de-
creased by TDKK 127,656 in Q2. In overall terms, the increase
in deposits from the end of 2023 thus amounted to TDKK
140,414.
Balance sheet and equity
During the first half-year, the Bank’s lending showed a satisfac-
tory increase of TDKK 137,946 to TDKK 5,168,941, while the
Bank’s guarantees to customers decreased by TDKK 598 from
the end of 2024 and amounted to TDKK 1,422,045 at the end
of June 2025.
In the annual reallocation the Bank acquired additional sector
equities in 2025. At 30 June 2025, equities, etc. amounted to
TDKK 163,926, compared to TDKK 150,963 at the end of
2024.
In the first half of 2025 the Bank acquired five new staff homes,
increasing the value of domicile properties to TDKK 327,652.
At the end of June 2025, the Bank’s deposits, which predomi-
nantly comprise on-demand deposits, amounted to TDKK
7,183,322, which is an increase of TDKK 30,515 from the end
of 2024. The Bank continues to have a stable deposit/lending
ratio of approximately 139%.
After payment of the dividend of TDKK 180,000 for 2024
adopted by the Annual General Meeting, the Bank's equity de-
creased from TDKK 1,593,622 to TDKK 1,524,274.
Total assets thereby increased by TDKK 21,103 to TDKK
