Interim report on Q3 2023 – Measures to improve efficiency and profitability
The trend we have seen previously, with several customers awaiting developments, has continued in the third quarter. Residential construction has declined significantly and there is a clear slowdown in office buildings and public properties. At the same time, there is a significant need in areas such as energy, logistics, defence, industry, and urban development relating to the expansion of infrastructure and the green transition. Several measures have been taken to increase efficiency and improve profitability.
