Order backlog for Construction and Civil Engineering increased to SEK 26,728 million compared with SEK 24,233 million at year-end - The underlying need for investments in construction continues to be substantial in most sectors, but the uncertainty surrounding the economic situation and the pinch in financing make it difficult to predict how the market will develop. It is therefore very pleasant that we during the first half of the year can announce an increasing order backlog, says Peab’s MD and CEO Mats Paulsson.
