Finnvera Group Reports Strong Performance in H1 2025

In its half-year report for January to June 2025, Finnvera Group announced a significant improvement in financial results, with a profit of EUR 150 million compared to EUR 85 million the previous year. This increase is mainly attributed to reduced loss provisions for export credit guarantees and special guarantees, particularly in cruise shipping and Russian exposures.

Domestic and export financing showed growth, with domestic loans and guarantees at EUR 0.6 billion and export guarantees at EUR 3.7 billion. The balance sheet total and contingent liabilities rose by 5% and 13%, respectively. Despite challenges, the economic outlook remains positive for 2025.

CEO Juuso Heinilä noted the positive economic start of the year, while acknowledging geopolitical and trade uncertainties impacting investments. The Group emphasized continuing its strategic focus, especially in supporting SMEs and internationalization efforts through innovative financing schemes.
