STOCKHOLM(Reuters) – Swedish bank Swedbank on Wednesday reported a slightly lower-than-expected operating profit for the fourth quarter as continued global supply problems held back economic growth in home markets. Swedbank’s fourth quarter operating profit fell to 5.97 billion Swedish crowns ($644.93 million) from a year-ago 6.18 billion, narrowly lagging the 6.10 billion analysts expected.
