The sale reflects Danske Bank’s efforts to simplify its organisation and supports its strategy of focusing on its Nordic home markets. 

As previously communicated, the transaction is expected to result in a one-off net gain for Danske Bank of around DKK 250 million.  

Danske Bank expects to have exited its few remaining private banking activities in Luxembourg within 9-12 months.
