PROFILE |
 |
A warm economic climate has thawed chilliness left from Sweden's reign over Finland (which ended in 1809). Finland's Merita and Sweden's Nordbanken merged to form parent firm Nordea (previously Nordic Baltic Holding) in one of the first European cross-border bank mergers. The banks, along with Denmark-based Unidanmark (acquired in 2000), provide retail and corporate banking, asset management, and insurance to more than nine million individuals and about 600,000 companies in their home countries, as well as in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. The firm is phasing out its real estate portfolio. The Swedish government owns more than 40% of Nordea, which bought Christiania Bank og Kreditkasse of Norway.
