Danske Bank has reported a pre-tax profit of 4.5 billion Danish Krone (€605m) for the three months to the end of September, up almost 79% on the same period of last year.
This brought pre-tax profit at the group to 14.2bn krone (€1.9bn) in the first nine months of the year, up 65% year-on-year.
Danske Bank said the increase in profit was driven mainly by a growth in most of its income streams, with expenses and impairments also falling.
Over the nine month period the bank has recorded a loan impairment charge of over 1bn krone (€137.8m) on its non-core activities, which consist mainly of its exposures in Ireland.
This was in line with expectations, according to Danske Bank, which said its winding up of these assets was continuing as planned.
