SEB has published its Annual Report for the financial year 2025, which includes the report of the directors, including the corporate governance report and sustainability statement, as well as the financial statements.

In the Annual Report, Marcus Wallenberg, Chair of SEB's Board of Directors, and Johan Torgeby, SEB's President and CEO, summarise the past year. 

"SEB plays an important role as a stable, international bank. Our strong balance sheet and diversified business model enable us to support customers under different market conditions and meet their evolving needs, also when the external environment shifts quickly", says Marcus Wallenberg.

2025 was marked by geopolitical uncertainty, shifting trade patterns and declining interest rates, while customers and financial markets demonstrated strong resilience. SEB enters 2026 from a position of strength, with a continued focus on developing customer relationships, investing to future-proof the bank, and enhancing its competitiveness.

"Our 2025 result was robust, considering that the wheels of the economy were only slowly beginning to turn, clearly demonstrating the strength of our diversified business mix. We continue to focus on our two strategic priorities: business growth, and technology and efficiency. In an environment marked by significant uncertainty, SEB is well positioned to support customers, both through challenging times and when growth eventually gains momentum", says Johan Torgeby.

For the second consecutive year, SEB's Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The Annual Report for 2025, as well as other annual reports, are available at sebgroup.com/annualreport. Principles of Responsible Banking will be published on 3 March. SEB Asset Management's sustainability review will be available at sebgroup.com/fondbolagethallbarhet on 5 March.
