The bank’s assets under management hit a record SFr115 billion, bolstered by SFr2.2 billion in net new money inflows. This performance marks a significant uptick from the SFr1.4 billion recorded during the same period in 2025. After a year prioritizing operational efficiency, the firm returned to credit expansion, reporting SFr211 million in net new loans—a reversal of the previous year's net outflows.
Liechtensteinische Landesbank Profit Climbs to SFr105 Million
A 15.3 per cent surge in first-half 2026 profit pushed Liechtensteinische Landesbank’s net earnings to SFr105 million, up from SFr91 million a year ago. The results underscore a recovery in lending and robust client asset growth across the group's operations in Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and Austria.
Financial gains were driven by a 5.9 per cent rise in fee and commission income, alongside trading activity spurred by geopolitical volatility. While low interest rates pressured the bank's interest differential business, operating expenses dropped 6.8 per cent to SFr190.6 million. This efficiency gain, aided by the absence of one-off integration costs from the ZKB Österreich takeover, improved the cost/income ratio to 59.5 per cent. With a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 18.5 per cent, the group remains well-positioned across its retail, corporate, and wealth management divisions.
