"Bank of Åland's RAC ratio may exceed our 15 % threshold for a
very strong capital and earnings assessment once the Swedish
mortgage loan book is carved out"

years and, in addition to issuing capital instruments, has
succeeded in building its capital base through earnings retention"

transparency, we will analyze whether the RAC ratio can
sustainably exceed 15%"
