CEO Helge Krogsbøl comments:

"We are delivering strong operational results while the macro environment continues to negatively impact property values. Through a solid financing structure with a mix of bank and bond financing with significant loan volumes in banks available, Heimstaden Bostad is maintaining good control of maturities for the coming years. This quarter, I am especially pleased to welcome Greater Manchester Pension Fund as a new shareholder of Heimstaden Bostad, one of the UK's leading institutional investors, who shares our sustainable and customer-centred mindset."
