1. Executive summary Macroeconomic overview In the first quarter of 2017, all of the Nordic economies registered an acceleration on their GDP y/y growth rates, except for Denmark. Norway experienced the largest increase (0.9 p.p.), while Finland was the country which registered the highest growth rate (2.82%). In terms of inflation, all the Nordic countries experienced higher CPI growth rates, except for Norway, which recorded the highest inflation rate at 2.57%. As for the labor market, Denmark was the only country able to lower its unemployment rate with respect to the previous quarter. Macroeconomic overview During 1Q17, all Nordic countries registered an acceleration on their y/y growth rates with respect to 4Q16, except for Denmark. Norway registered the highest increase (0.9 p.p.), reaching a growth rate of 2.5%, while Finland recorded the largest y/y growth rate at 2.82%. GDP (% year over year growth) CPI (% year over year growth) UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (%) 2.63 2.50 2.24 2.82 0.97 2.57 1.50 0.93 6.03 4.50 7.10 9.33 Denmark Norway Sweden Finland Denmark Norway Sweden Finland Denmark Norway Sweden Finland 4 Source: Country s Central Bank Denmark: recorded a 0.23 p.p. slowdown its y/y growth rate due to the lower growth of fixed capital formation. Norway: recorded an acceleration of 0.9 p.p. in its y/y growth rate, led by higher consumption and investment growth. Sweden: Sweden s economy accelerated in 0.32 p.p. on the back of higher consumption and investment growth, and breaking the downward trend which began in 1Q16. Finland: registered a 0.46 p.p. increase, up to a rate of 2.82% in 1Q17. This was due to the acceleration of investment and net exports. Denmark: Denmark s CPI registered an acceleration of 0.57 p.p. with respect to the previous quarter, standing at 0.97%, partly due to the increase in energy prices. Norway: registered the highest CPI among Nordic economies, of 2.57%, which is 1.03 p.p. lower than in 4Q16. The krone s appreciation of last year partly explains this behaviour. Sweden: increasing food and transport prices caused Swedish inflation to accelerate by 0.07 p.p., standing at 1.5% in 1Q17. Finland: The inflation rate increased by 0.2 p.p. to 0.93% after an increase in energy prices during the period. Denmark: It was the only country that registered a reduction in its unemployment rate, of 0.24 p.p., resulting in the second lowest rate among Nordic economies at 6.03%. Norway: recorded the lowest unemployment rate, of 4.5%, despite an increase of 0.1 p.p. with respect to 4Q16. Sweden: unemployment rose by 0.7 p.p. during 1Q17 up to 7.1%, standing as the second highest of the Nordic countries. Finland: the unemployment rate increased by 1.3 p.p. with respect to the previous quarter, standing at 9.33%, which accounted for the highest rate of the Nordic countries.

Economic and Financial Report 1Q17 Banking sector During 1Q17, Sweden recorded the highest y/y growth rate of both loans and deposits, which stood at 5.57% and 12.59% respectively, after registering growth increases of 1.66 p.p. for loans and 2.69 p.p. for deposits Apart from Sweden and Norway, the rest of the Nordic countries present negative loan growth rates during this quarter, which were lower than those of 4Q16, while recording positive deposit growth rates. Banking sector All Nordic countries except for Sweden and Norway presented negative growth rates of their loans. As for deposits growth, all countries continued to present positive growth rates in 1Q17. LOANS (% change from the same quarter of the previous year) DEPOSITS (% change from the same quarter of the previous year) 4.28 5.57 7.06 10.09 12.59 6.28-3.84-7.55 Denmark Norway Sweden Finland Denmark Norway Sweden Finland Source: Country s Central Bank. Denmark: during the first quarter of the year, loans y/y growth rate registered a negative value of -3.84%, from -3.1% registered in 4Q16. Norway: the growth rate of total loans increased for the first time three quarters, by 4.3 p.p. from the registered in 4Q16, standing at 4.28%. Sweden: total loans growth rate increased by 1.66 p.p. when compared to 4Q16. In comparison with the other Nordic economies, Swedish loans recorded the highest y/y growth rate of loans of 5.57%. Finland: total loans recorded a decrease in growth during this quarter of 3.44 p.p. when compared to 1Q16, standing at -7.55% in this quarter. Finnish loans have been recording negative growth rate for four consecutive quarters. Denmark: After decreasing during the fourth quarter of 2016 in the growth rate of deposits, Denmark recovered during the first quarter of the year by 0.05 p.p., up to 7.06%. Norway: total deposits growth rate experienced an increase of 6.11 p.p. during 1Q17 when compared to 4Q16, standing at 10.09%. The increase was driven by the performance of financial and non-financial. Sweden: total deposits registered an increase of 2.69 p.p. in growth during 1Q17, standing at 12.59%, the largest among the Nordic economies. This was due to the growth increments in financial and non-financial corporation deposits. Finland: deposits experienced a 1.36 p.p. increase during 1Q17 due to the increments recorded in all segments, except for the household segment. 5

2. International Overview OECD During the first quarter of 2017, developed countries experienced a generalized increase in their y/y GDP growth rates, with France and Japan being the only OECD countries whose GDP decelerated from the previous quarter. This performance was highlighted by the acceleration of China and USA, which achieved growth rates of 6.9% and 2%, respectively. Regarding the inflation rate, all the analysed countries, with the exception of China, recorded increases with respect to the last quarter of 2016. Spain recorded the highest inflation rate, of 2.77% in 1Q17, after increasing by 1.77 p.p. with respect to the previous quarter. As for the growth rate of loans, it accelerated in all the surveyed economies, with the exception of China, UK and the USA. Germany, Spain and France were the only countries which registered increments in the growth rate of deposits in 1Q17. Macroeconomic Overview During the first quarter of 2017, the GDP of the developed economies registered an increase in its annual growth rate. This performance resulted from the acceleration in the GDP of all the surveyed countries except for France and Japan. China registered the highest growth rate of 6.9% after accelerating by 0.2 p.p. during the first quarter of 2017. Spain stood as the country with the second highest growth rate, 3.05%. This acceleration in the developed economies was mainly due to the growth of the Chinese economy, which resulted in a recovery of both trade and investment. The industrial sector improved due to the increase in manufacturing production and the robustness of domestic demand, while private sector confidence remained at high levels. On the other hand, the upturn in retail sales signaled the resilience of private consumption. Inflation increased with respect to the previous quarter in all the analysed countries, except for China, which recorded a decrease of 0.77 p.p. down to 1.4%. This generalized increase was due to the increase in the prices of energy and commodities. Spain registered the highest inflation rate of the developed economies at 2.77%, after recording an increase of 1.77 p.p. when compared to the previous quarter. Japan, meanwhile, recorded the lowest rate, reaching 0.33%. Regarding the labour market, the unemployment rate declined in all the surveyed developed countries. Only Germany and Spain experienced increases in their unemployment rates, while the US rate remained constant when compared to the last quarter of 2016. Japan recorded the lowest rate during the first quarter of 2017 after decreasing by 0.1 p.p. with respect to the previous quarter, standing at 2.8%. 6 Financial Sector During the first quarter of 2017, rating agencies maintained the rating of all countries in relation to the same quarter of the previous year with two exceptions. On one hand, both S&P and Fitch lowered their UK ratings to AA. Meanwhile, Moody's did the same with China, down to A1, as a consequence of its lower growth potential and increased leveraging. During 1Q17, the growth rate of loans recorded an overall increase from the previous quarter, with China, the UK and the US being the only exceptions that recorded a deceleration during this quarter. Spain and France registered the largest increases with respect to the previous quarter, of 1.7 p.p. and 0.9 p.p. respectively. China and UK stood out, recording the highest growth rates in loans at 12.3% and 11.5%, respectively. On the other hand, deposits experienced a contraction in relation to the previous quarter due to the deceleration in the growth rate of deposits of all the developed economies, with the exceptions of Germany, Spain and France. The biggest drop compared to the previous quarter was recorded by Japan, which stood at 6.2% after suffering a decrement of 1.9 p.p.

2. International Overview LatAm In the first quarter of 2017, the GDP growth rate of the analysed Latin American countries accelerated by 0.46 p.p. with respect to the previous quarter, standing at 0.97%. This behavior was mainly caused by the increase in the growth rates of Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. On the other hand, the average inflation rate of the analyzed countries of LatAm experienced a contraction of 1.13 p.p. with respect to the previous quarter, standing at 7.94%, caused by a generalized reduction in inflation, with the exceptions of Mexico and Peru. Regarding the labour market, the unemployment rate increased by 0.95 p.p. to 8.35%. Both loans and deposits decelerated during 1Q17. Macroeconomic Overview In 1Q17, the analysed Latin American countries grew by 0.46 p.p. with respect to the previous quarter, standing at 0.97%. This behavior was due to the acceleration in the GDP growth rates of Argentina, Brazil and Mexico; while Chile, Colombia and Peru recorded decreases in their respective GDP growth rates. Argentina stood out with a 0.33% growth rate, thereby exiting the recession that began in the second quarter of 2016. At the same time, Brazil s activity stabilized, although it continued to register a negative growth rate of -0.41%. The improvement in the growth rates of the analysed countries was supported by a reduction in the uncertainty regarding US trade policy, as well as the expectations of a gradual increase in interest rates by the Federal Reserve. The improvement in global trade and the recovery of commodity markets caused by China's monetary and fiscal stimulus have also contributed to the region's growth. The International Monetary Fund expects Latin American growth to recover during the course of 2017, forecasting a combined GDP growth rate of 1.1%. The relative strength of Latin American currencies, which have regained the levels in which they stood prior to the US elections in November, coupled with weak domestic demand, led to a general decline in inflation rates in the analysed countries. Hence, average inflation was reduced by 1.13 p.p. when compared to the previous quarter, standing at 7.94%. Only Peru and Mexico recorded increases in their inflation rates with respect to the fourth quarter of 2016. Regarding the labour market, the unemployment rate in the surveyed Latin American countries increased by 0.95 p.p., standing at 8.35% after a generalised increase in the respective unemployment rates of the analysed countries. Mexico was the only exception, since it reduced its rate by 0.15 p.p. when compared to the previous quarter, reaching an unemployment rate of 3.39% in the first quarter of the year. 8 Financial Sector Overall, the rating agencies kept unchanged the ratings of the surveyed Latin American countries with respect to the same quarter of the previous year, although some exceptions were recorded. In the case of Argentina, the three agencies improved their ratings, while Moody's and Fitch downgraded Brazil's in 1Q17. S&P, on the other hand, lowered Chile s qualification. During the first quarter of the year, the average growth rate of loans recorded a contraction of 1 p.p. when compared to the previous quarter, standing at 8.1%. Only Brazil and Colombia experienced an increase with respect to 4Q16, which resulted in the fall in the growth of loans in the analysed Latin American countries. The biggest decrease was experienced by Argentina, which stood at 24.3% after suffering a deceleration of 8.2 p.p. In the first quarter of 2017, the growth rate of deposits also declined when compared to the previous quarter due to the declines in every country considered, except for Brazil and Peru. The average growth rate of deposits stood at 8.5%, which was 5.2 p.p. lower than the one recorded in the previous quarter. The largest decrease, of 20.1 p.p., corresponded to Argentina, which stood at 23.1% in 1Q17.

3. Macroeconomic overview Denmark In the first quarter of 2017, the Danish economy experienced a deceleration to a y/y growth rate of 2.63%, which represents a 0.23 p.p. decrease over the rate of the previous quarter. This performance was driven by the deceleration of domestic demand, given the deceleration experienced in gross capital formation, as well as the deceleration of exports. However, both government and private consumption registered increases in their y/y growth rate during this period, increasing by 0.39 p.p. and by 0.03 p.p., up to 1.35% and 2.52%, respectively. 10 GDP (% year over year growth) Annual Growth Projection 2.09 1.67 1.61 1.58 2.86 1.29 2.63 2.02 0.98 0.85 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Source: StatBank Denmark.

This contraction interrupts the upward trend which started in 3Q16. The deceleration of the Danish economy in this quarter was caused by the performance of domestic demand, motivated by the decrease in the rate of growth of gross capital formation, larger than the increase in the growth rates of both private and government consumption. Exports decelerated during this quarter (-1.34 p.p. to 5.91%), as well as imports (-2.65 p.p. to 4.18%). On an annual basis, projections from the OECD predict an increase in y/y GDP growth rates, up to 1.58% in 2017 and 2.09% in 2018. Government consumption experienced an expansion of its y/y growth rate of 0.39 p.p. up to 1.35% in 1Q17, recording the highest rate since 2Q15. Denmark s government is seeking to maintain its public deficit at around 1.8% of GDP during 2017, a deficit ceiling which is below the EU s requirement of 3%. Despite this fact, forecasts from the OECD predict an increase of government consumption growth during 2017 and 2018, anticipating y/y growth rates of 0% in 2017 and 0.9% in 2018. In 1Q17, private consumption growth experienced an increase of 0.03 p.p. to 2.52%. This performance was motivated by the recorded decrease of unemployment, rising disposable incomes and low interest rates, even though it was offset by higher inflation during this quarter. The OECD predicts private consumption y/y growth rates of 1.88% in 2017, and 2.14% in 2018. Source: StatBank Denmark. Projections from OECD.

Macroeconomic Overview - Denmark Economic and Financial Report 1Q17 During the first quarter of 2017, inflation went up by 0.57 p.p., standing at 0.97% at the end of the quarter, following the increasing trend which started in 3Q16. On an annual basis, OECD s projections predict an increase of 1.21% and 1.33% in 2017 and 2018 respectively. Regarding the labour market, the unemployment rate registered a decrease from 6.27% in 4Q16 down to 6.03% in 1Q17. For its part, the y/y growth rate of employment registered a rate of -0.99% in 1Q17, after a decrease of 2.81 p.p. when compared to the previous quarter, which supposes the lowest rate recorded in the historical series started in 2012. In the first quarter of 2017, inflation in Denmark registered 0.97%, which is 0.57 p.p. higher than in 4Q16, recording the highest rate since 1Q13. Annual Growth CPI (% year over year growth) Projection The quarterly increase of Danish CPI growth is explained by higher prices in transport (2.27 p.p.), as well as in clothing and footwear (1.97 p.p.), and food and non-alcoholic beverages (1.83 p.p.). When excluding energy prices from the basket, CPI increased by 0.33 p.p. during this quarter. 0.57 0.45 0.25 1.21 1.33 0.30 0.13 0.17 0.40 0.97 Projections from the OECD predict an increase in 2017 of 1.21% and of 1.33% in 2018. Increases in inflation expectations have driven private consumption to accelerate. During the first quarter of 2017, the unemployment rate fell by 0.24 p.p. when compared to 4Q16, down to 6.03% at the end of the quarter. Unemployment stands at 175,000 people, which according to the OECD is close to its structural level. The OECD forecasts an increase in the unemployment rate, up to 6.5% in 2017 and 6.52% in 2018. The employment y/y growth rate fell by 2.81 p.p. when compared to the previous quarter, standing at a negative rate of 0.99% in the first quarter of 2017, which supposes the lowest rate recorded in the historical series started in 2012. StatBank Denmark has warned that a lower response rate in the Labour Force Survey during 1Q16 might alter the representativeness of the survey in this period, requiring additional caution when interpreting the data. 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Source: StatBank.

This generalized decrease is a result of the efforts of the central bank to fight against low inflation rates, thus establishing a lending rate and a certificates of deposit rate of 0.05% and -0.65% respectively. During the first quarter of 2017, the Danish krone depreciated against the dollar, increasing by 0.08 DKK/$ from the exchange rate recorded in the previous quarter. This supposes a depreciation of 1.24%. 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Source: National Banken In this quarter, the increase in the interest rates by the FED and the growth expectations in the US economy were the main drivers of the krone s depreciation against the dollar. The performance of the Danish krone against the dollar thus mimics that of the euro, with which Denmark maintains a fixed exchange rate policy.

Economic and Financial Report 1Q17 Norway Norway In the first quarter of 2017, the Norwegian economy accelerated to a 2.5% y/y growth rate, up 0.9 p.p. from that of 4Q16. This performance was motivated by the acceleration of domestic demand, due to increases of private consumption (1 p.p.) and gross capital formation (5.4 p.p.). In contrast, government consumption offset this performance, decelerating to 2.2%, down by 0.3 p.p. from the rate of 4Q16.

The acceleration of the Norwegian economy in this quarter was caused by the acceleration of domestic demand, motivated by the increments in the growth rates of private consumption (1 p.p. to 2.1%) and gross capital formation (5.4 p.p. to 11.8%). GDP s performance was offset by government consumption and the external sector. Exports accelerated by 2.8 p.p. during 1Q17 to a rate of 1%, recovering from the setback that followed the krone s appreciation during 2016. This performance was offset by that of imports, which registered an acceleration of 6.8 p.p. compared to 4Q16, up to a y/y growth rate of 8.2%. Projections from the OECD predict a stabilisation in GDP s y/y growth rate in 2017 and 2018, around 1.28% and 1.47% respectively. Government consumption experienced a contraction of its y/y growth rate of 0.3 p.p., down to 1.9% in 1Q17, thereby continuing the downward trend which started last quarter. OECD s projections place the growth rate of government spending at 2.06% in 2017 and 1.65% in 2018. In 1Q17, private consumption growth experienced an acceleration to a y/y growth rate of 2.1%, up by 1 p.p. from the rate of 4Q16. Forecasts from the OECD predict y/y growth rates of 2% in 2017 and 2.17% in 2018, which are 0.5 p.p. and 0.67 p.p. higher than the annual growth recorded during 2016. 13 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Source: Statistics Sentralbyra.

Macroeconomic Overview - Norway In the first quarter of 2017, inflation recorded a 2.57% rate, after decreasing by 1.03 p.p. when compared to the previous quarter, registering the lowest rate since 4Q15. Regarding the labour market, the unemployment rate experienced an increase of 0.1 p.p. during the quarter, standing at 4.5% in 1Q17. For its part, the y/y growth rate of employment registered a negative rate of -0.53%, which is 0.08 p.p. lower than the rate registered in 4Q16. 14 In the first quarter of 2017, inflation in Norway registered 2.57%, which is 1.03 p.p. lower than in the fourth quarter of 2016. CPI growth has followed a downward trend since 4Q16, in spite of higher GDP growth during these quarters. The krone s appreciation during the course of last year partly explains this behaviour. Regarding CPI s components, the quarterly decrease of Norwegian CPI growth was explained by lower prices in most consumption groups, especially in clothing and footwear, household maintenance and water, electricity and gas, which registered decreases of 4.23 p.p., 2.63 p.p., and 1.7 p.p. respectively. Projections from the OECD predict decelerations of CPI in 2017, of 1.88%, and in 2018, of 1.84%. During the first quarter of 2017, the unemployment rate increased by 0.1 p.p. up to 4.5% at the end of the quarter. In absolute terms, the number of unemployed people amounted to 124,000 during 1Q17, which is 4,000 persons more than in the previous quarter. The OECD forecasts decreases in unemployment rates, down to 4.44% in 2017 and 4.25% in 2018. Employment y/y growth rate fell by 0.08 p.p. when compared to the previous quarter, standing at -0.53% in the first quarter of the year. In absolute terms, the number of employed people amounted to 2,628,000 during 1Q17, in comparison with 2,635,000 during the previous quarter. On an annual basis, the OECD expects acceleration to a y/y growth rate of employment to 0.74% in 2017 and to 1.13% in 2018.

During the first quarter of the year, the Norwegian treasury yield curve registered an increase for the 3-year, 5-year and 10-year bonds when compared to 1Q16, while the rest of maturities registered decreases. Moreover, bond yields continued to register positive rates for all maturities in 1Q17. The highest increases were recorded in 10-year bonds (0.34 p.p.), 5-year bonds (0.29 p.p.) and 3-year bonds (0.22 p.p.). On the other hand, the most remarkable reductions were registered in 3-month and 6-month bonds, which registered decreases of 0.11 p.p. and 0.05 p.p. respectively. For its part, when compared to 1Q15, Norwegian bonds interest rates registered a reduction in all maturities, except for 3-year, 5- year bonds and 10-year bonds. Regarding the exchange rate, the Norwegian krone depreciated against the dollar and registered a 8.44 NOK/$ exchange rate, which is 0.06 NOK/$ higher (0.7%) than the rate recorded in 4Q16. This performance is motivated by the drop in oil prices during 1Q17. For 2017, Danske Bank expects a moderate appreciation fueled by higher oil prices and interest rates. 15

Sweden Sweden In 1Q17, the Swedish economy experienced an acceleration to a y/y growth rate of 2.24%, which represents a 0.32 p.p. increase over the rate of the previous quarter. This performance is driven by the acceleration experienced in gross capital formation and private consumption, which is offset by the deceleration experienced in external demand and government consumption during this period. Private consumption registered an increase in its y/y growth rate of 0.09 p.p., up to 1.53%, while government consumption decelerated by 1.13 p.p. to a y/y growth rate of 0.58 in 1Q17. 16 GDP (%) Annual Growth Projection 4.11 4.27 3.61 2.69 2.71 3.08 2.24 1.92 2.68 2.27 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Source: Statistics Sweden.

This rate interrupts the downward trend initiated in the first quarter of 2016. During this quarter, the performance of the Swedish economy was driven by the acceleration of domestic demand, caused by higher growth in gross fixed capital formation with respect to 4Q16, (4.37 p.p. to 7.48%), as well as in private consumption. Government consumption and external demand decelerated during this quarter, due to both an increase in the growth rate of imports and a lower growth rate of exports. GDP growth is expected to decrease to its potential, down to 2.68% in 2017 and 2.27% in 2018. Government consumption experienced a contraction of its y/y growth rate of 1.13 p.p. down to 0.58% in 1Q17, which is the lowest growth rate recorded since 2011. According to the European Commission, the significant drop in the number of asylum seekers since the immigration wave of 2015 has led to substantial decline in government consumption growth. Forecasts from the OECD predict an increase in the growth rate of government consumption during 2017 and 2018, anticipating y/y growth rates of 2.68% and 2.54%, respectively. In 1Q17, private consumption growth experienced an acceleration of 0.09 p.p., standing at 1.53%. This growth rate is the lowest since 1Q13. The OECD predicts higher private consumption y/y growth rates, to 2.19 in both 2017 and 2018, supported by rising real disposable incomes and strong employment. Source: Statistics Sweden.

Macroeconomic Overview - Sweden Economic and Financial Report 1Q17 During the first quarter of 2017, inflation index continued its upward trend initiated in 4Q15, thus increasing by 0.07 p.p. up to 1.5% registered in 1Q17, which is below the 2% inflation target set by the central bank. This performance was mainly driven by the Swedish Central Bank s measures, which include unconventional policies such as bondbuying program and negative policy rates. Regarding unemployment rate, it recorded 7.1% in the first quarter of 2017, which is 0.7 p.p. higher than the rate registered in the previous quarter. Employment growth experienced an increase of 0.83 p.p. from the y/y growth rate registered in the fourth quarter of 2016. In the first quarter of 2017, inflation in Sweden registered 1.5%, which is 0.07 p.p. higher than in the fourth quarter of 2016. The quarterly increase of Swedish CPI growth is explained by higher prices in food and nonalcoholic beverages (+1.25 p.p.) and transport (+1.2 p.p.), as well as in housing, water, electricity and fuels (+1.18 p.p.). In addition, inflation accelerated as a result of rising cost pressures due to high capacity utilisation rates and tighter labour market conditions. Projections from the OECD predict further accelerations of CPI in 2017, of 1.64%, and in 2018, of 1.8%, as the Central Bank continues with the extension of its asset purchase program in 2017, and postpones the interest rate normalization until 2018. During the first quarter of 2017, the unemployment rate increased by 0.7 p.p. up to 7.1% at the end of the quarter. According to the European Commission, Swedish firms have reported skills shortages, in particular in the public and construction sectors. In addition, the unemployment rate of non-eu born and low-skilled people is expected to remain even more elevated. The OECD forecasts further decreases in unemployment rates, down to 6.54% in 2017 and 6.42 % in 2018. Employment y/y growth rate increased by 0.83 p.p. when compared to the previous quarter, standing at 2.35% in the first quarter of 2017. This growth rate is the highest recorded in our historical series initiated in the first quarter of 2012. Sweden has one of the highest employment rates in the EU (81.2% in 2016). On an annual basis, the OECD expects an acceleration of employment to a y/y growth rate of 2.1% in 2017, followed by a deceleration in 2018 to a y/y growth rate of 1.08%.

Regarding the exchange rate, Swedish krona appreciated against the dollar, thus decreasing 0.12 SEK/$ from the rate registered in 4Q16, to an exchange rate of 8.92 SEK/$ in 1Q17.

Economic and Financial Report 1Q17 Finland Finland In the first quarter of 2017, the Finnish economy experienced an acceleration of 0.46 p.p. with respect to the previous quarter of the year, standing at 2.82%. This growth in GDP was sustained by growth in investment and in net exports. Regarding government consumption, it faced a 0.77% growth rate in 1T17, which represents a 2.51 p.p. decrease since 4Q16. Private consumption, on the other hand, stood at 1.18% after decreasing by 0.84 p.p. with respect to the last quarter of 2016.

Finnish economic growth during this quarter was sustained by higher investment growth (2.56 p.p. to 7.93%) and net export growth, as the acceleration of exports (9.9 p.p. to 11.1%) exceeded that of imports (1.3 p.p. to 4.06%). Domestic demand registered a deceleration during this quarter, hindered by lower growth in both government and private consumption.

The sharp deceleration in government consumption expenditure from its historical maximum growth reached in 4Q16 explains the deceleration of domestic demand during this period. Government consumption experienced a contraction of its y/y growth rate of 2.51 p.p., down to 0.77% in 1Q17. The general government s fiscal plan for 2016-2019 contemplates expenditure cuts, as well as a reduction of public sector employees holiday bonuses. As a consequence, forecasts from the OECD predict a decrease in growth during 2017 to 0.05%. In 1Q17, the y/y growth rate of consumption in the private sector registered a deceleration of 0.84 p.p., standing at 1.18%. By type of goods, the lower growth rate is explained by a decrease in the growth of consumption of non-durable and semidurable goods (-1.05 p.p. and -0.23 p.p. respectively, to 1.13% and 0.2%). In contrast, consumption of durables and services accelerated during this quarter, by 3.21 p.p. and 0.61 p.p. respectively, up to growth rates of 7.14% and 2.76%. The OECD predicts private consumption y/y growth rates of 1.14% in 2017, and 1% in 2018. 19

Macroeconomic Overview - Finland During the first quarter of 2017, inflation continued the upward trend initiated in 4Q15, thus registering a y/y growth rate of 0.93% at the end of the quarter. Regarding the labor market, the unemployment rate increased to 9.33% in 1Q17, which supposes a rebound of 1.3 p.p. when compared to the previous quarter. For its part, the y/y growth rate of employment registered a deceleration of 0.13 p.p., standing at 0.46% in 1Q17. In the first quarter of 2017, inflation in Finland registered a 0.93% rate, which is 0.2 p.p. higher than in the fourth quarter of the previous year. The quarterly increase of Finnish CPI growth is explained by higher growth of the prices of transport, alcoholic beverages and tobacco, and clothing. Electricity, gas and other fuels also experienced an increase, of 3.79 p.p. to a growth rate of 6.59%. Projections from the OECD predict further accelerations of CPI, forecasting an inflation rate of 1.2% in 2017 and 1.49% in 2018.

Projections from the OECD. 20 During the first quarter of 2017, the unemployment rate increased by 1.3 p.p. up to 9.33% at the end of the quarter. Although the Competitiveness Pact is expected to improve employment prospects, its effect on the unemployment rate will be partly offset by the decline in working age population, as the baby boom cohorts reach the retirement age. The OECD forecasts further decreases in unemployment rates, down to 8.47% in 2017 and 8.19% in 2018. Employment y/y growth rate decreased by 0.13 p.p. when compared to the previous quarter, standing at 0.46% in the first quarter of 2017, as a result of a shrinkage in the working-age population. Regarding the foreseeable future, the OECD expects growth to continue on the same trend on the back of increases in investment and exports to y/y growth rates of 0.57% in 2017 and of 0.45% in 2018.

During the first quarter of the year, treasury bond yields registered generalized reductions from those observed in 1Q16 for all maturity types considered. The main driver of this decrease was the expansionary monetary policy of the ECB which, through a combination of low reference rates and its asset purchasing program, is increasing the demand for assets and bonds. In comparison to the first quarter of 2015, however, the bond yield curve of 1Q17 crosses that of 1Q15 at 10-year maturities, registering higher interest rates for 15-year bonds. The euro depreciated by $0.02 with respect to the dollar in the first quarter of 2017, recording an exchange rate of 1.06 $/. This behavior is explained by the different monetary policies being implemented by US and the Eurozone s Central Banks. The Fed s interest rate hikes adopted in December and March, as well as the continuation of the ECB s asset purchase program are the main drivers of this depreciation. According to the ECB, an appreciation of the euro is expected for 2017, reaching an exchange rate of 1.08 $/. This situation is expected to extend to 2018, when the ECB projects an exchange rate of 1.09 $/. 21
