Comments from Hufvudstaden’s President, Anders Nygren.
” We had a continued positive growth in the property management despite a challenging economy. Net sales increased by 4 per cent and gross profit by 5 per cent. Looking ahead, we can see several signs of economic recovery. Inflation is low, the financial health of households is gradually improving, and more tenants express a more positive outlook about the future.
I am very proud that we for the seventh consecutive year we have the most satisfied office tenants in the industry according to this year's Customer Satisfaction Index. Satisfied customers who remain loyal and long-term tenants are particularly important in times like these. Regarding the retail segment, the city centres in both Stockholm and Gothenburg continue to attract tenants and we are experiencing increased activity in our marketplaces “.
