 CEO Magnus Brännström comments
 
“Our key growth markets in Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East continue to perform very well, representing more than 30% of sales in the quarter. However, sales growth for the Group of 3% in the third quarter shows that the sales development in our main markets in CIS and Europe continues to be volatile, as the initiatives to increase sales and efficiency are yet to translate into benefits. Fourth quarter sales in local currency have started in line with prior year and the positive sales force momentum from the third quarter has continued.”
