挪威最大银行DNB周三公布的第三季度盈利好于预期，贷款量增加帮助抵消了竞争导致的利差压力。
Norway's largest bank DNB reported better-than-expected third-quarter earnings on Wednesday, as increased lending volumes helped offset competition-driven pressure on margins.
该行7至9月净利润下降7.9%至98.4亿挪威克朗（约10.5亿美元），上年同期为106.8亿克朗。该行汇编的分析师调查显示，市场平均预期为90.6亿克朗。
Its net profit fell 7.9% to 9.84 billion Norwegian crowns ($1.05 billion) in the July to September period, from 10.68 billion a year earlier. Analysts had expected 9.06 billion crowns on average, a poll compiled by the bank showed.
DNB表示，尽管挪威央行为应对持续通胀已重启加息，但该行已度过一段因贷款市场激烈竞争导致利差承压的时期，并称挪威经济依然强劲。
DNB has weathered a period of margin pressure driven by fierce competition across lending markets, even as Norway's central bank has returned to raising interest rates in response to persistent inflation. It said the Norwegian economy remained robust.
