Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to this call ahead of our silent period that starts on January 8. This is Peter Grabe, Head of Investor Relations speaking. And with me today, I have the Investor Relations team consisting of Lars Kenneth Dahlqvist, Andreas Skogelid and Per Aronsson. We would like to remind you that this call will be recorded. And this call is intended for sell-side analysts and will not include any communication of new information, information that's not publicly known or any new guidance. The aim of this call is rather to remind about publicly communicated matters for housekeeping purposes of estimates and expectations ahead of the interim report. In this call, we are not aiming at steering you towards any specific numbers, and the outcome of the quarterly results will occasionally deviate more or less from the trends we comment on in this call. We will only answer questions relating to public information and related to Q4. [Operator Instructions] First, to start off, as we stated in the Q3 report, the change to the Sveriges Riksbank Act effective from January 1, 2025, allows the Riksbank to demand a certain amount of interest-free deposits from Swedish banks and other credit institutions operating in Sweden for the purpose of restoring the Riksbank's equity and to contribute to the funding of its ongoing operations. The scale of the interest-free deposits is based on a proportion of the respective institutions deposit base, comprised of its deposits and issued debt securities.
