HELSINKI, April 27 (Reuters) - The Nordic region's
biggest lender Nordea posted a larger than expected
gain in first-quarter operating profits on Thursday, on the back
of rising interest rates and despite weaker Nordic currencies.
The Finnish banking group reported an operating profit of
1.48 billion euros ($1.64 billion) in the quarter, up from 1.1
billion a year ago, beating the mean forecast of 1.36 billion in
a Refinitiv poll of analysts.
