Overall brokerage revenues increased by 4.2 percent (6.1% in constant currencies) due to an increase in trading volume across all asset categories. Rates and Credit saw a rise in client activity due to the combination of higher interest rates and improved trading conditions. Shorter-dated products and high credit volumes were largely responsible for this. In addition, both our ship chartering and renewable energy businesses experienced double-digit growth.
