It is a region with highly rated corporate clients and forward-thinking views on ESG issues, and we are committed to further investing in this market and building long-lasting relationships with our clients.”

Blake Wright, Senior Country Officer for the Nordic Countries at Crédit Agricole CIB added, “The Nordics represents the fourth largest market in Europe in terms of wallet size and is a market with significant upside potential. The branch opening is a continuation of a long history of our service to the Danish market and complements our existing Nordics network in Sweden, Norway and Finland. Through the new local set-up, we will be able to offer the Bank’s full range of products to Danish clients.”
