Comment from Hans Wallenstam, CEO:

“We are now in the middle of an inflation crisis, which is reflected in increased financing costs, higher operating expenses, increased construction costs etc. Wallenstam stands strong even in this crisis, with a strong balance sheet, good financing possibilities and very attractive properties.”

“As I have stated previously, we are going to face many challenges in the coming years. But with our long-term strategies and the stability that Wallenstam has, I feel both secure and full of confidence ahead of the future. Remember that economic cycles are like the seasons – after winter comes spring!”
