Tom Pippingsköld, President and CEO, in conjunction with the review:
“The high interest rate environment has negatively affected private consumption, construction sector and industrial demand.

The same matters seem to continue at the beginning of this year, but we are seeing now improved industrial activity and private consumption has bottomed out.
