STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish bank Swedbank <SWEDa.ST> reported a higher than expected net profit for the third quarter on Tuesday as lending volumes grew and a favourable stock market benefited its asset management business.
Net profit rose to 5.53 billion Swedish crowns (473.2 million pounds), above a mean forecast for 5.01 billion in a Reuters poll of analysts and compared with 4.74 billion in the year-ago period.
