15 Jan 2025 Danske Bank A/SDanske Bank: NOK 50m for market manipulation in government bond issue €4.27m
Finanstilsynet (Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority) fined Danske Bank A/S NOK 50,000,000 for market manipulation. In the syndication of a ten-year Norwegian government bond of NOK 22 billion in February 2023, whose yield was priced off the Norwegian swap rate, the bank, through its Norwegian branch, pushed the reference rate to an artificial level with interest rate swap trades concentrated around the pricing time, in a situation where it benefited from a higher yield. The fact that the bank had itself approached the supervisory authorities was taken into account as a mitigating factor.
Hedging trades around the setting of reference prices need clear controls so that they are not treated as price manipulation.
