– We have well been good negotiators simply says Kommunal agreement Secretary Lenita Granlund.

SKL bought it with among other grounds that the contract was long, unlike much of the rest of the labor market.

– from SKL’s side, we are very pleased to we get a three-year contract and can have a long-term planning out in municipalities and counties, says Helene Fritzon, Chairman of SKL’s negotiating team.

SKL needed tax increases of 45 billion – Sveriges Radio

Bettina Kashefi, chief economist at SKL, says it will require tax increases of 45 billion to cover the increased costs.

– What we see very clearly in our calculations, we have an emergency the situation in 2018, if nothing else happens and it continues even during the 2019th

What is it that makes the greatest importance for the country’s municipalities and county councils when it comes to the economy?

– It is very important to continue to work with efficiency. Then there is a central aspect of getting people into work as quickly as possible. The most important thing a municipality and a county council have the tax base that generates by far the most important revenue of the business.

Will there be tax increases?

– Somehow we cover the funding gap that exists, says Bettina Kashefi.

the next few years will local governments to cope thanks to the Swedish economy has high growth but then it becomes a problem if not taxes raised. The SKL writes in his report.

Another explanation is that a larger portion of the costs of the new arrivals who have come in recent times then falls on the municipalities.

A minus in SKL calculations is that they do not take into account that the Migration Board yesterday cut its forecast of how many asylum seekers are expected this year with about 40 000 people.

But based on the old figures SKL believe that it will require tax increases of 45 billion by 2019, corresponding to almost two per hundred served.

– somehow, we have to cover the funding gap we look forward, says Kashefi.

the costs of municipalities is expected according SKL increase by nine percent this year, partly because it requires expensive workarounds to care for newcomers.

in the future will also increase the cost of housing, education and care. Although the county councils expect cost increases of around five percent in 2016.

Bettina Kashefi at SKL hope that the increased immigration to be a winning ticket for local governments in the long term.

we have a large supply of workers in health care, education and care, and we have a recruitment problem and we will do this well and we see that people are matched to the available jobs in a fast and efficient way can this be a real win-win situation.

Would not have founded LWM

Today would LWN not meet SEB’s values, according Gent Jansson:

– The question how businesses and individuals meet their tax obligations begin to some extent be a sustainability issue. Activities should definitely be acceptable even from a value perspective and not just because it is legal. For that reason, we would certainly at present come to the conclusion that we would not have founded the company LWM. We took the course a few years ago the decision that the business does not continue in SEB’s director, says Gent Jansson Yle.

Neither the owner brothers Ehrnrooth or LWM’s CEO Eric Leclerc would not comment on the Yle revealing.

“Professionalism apply to all our customers, whether this be private individuals or companies. Apart from that, as the law requires, it would be unprofessional to discuss our clients’ affairs in any way, “ he writes in an email to Yle.

MTG has in recent years had problems with its Scandinavian TV advertising business. It is one of the Group’s main sources of income and although MTG’s results for the television channels rose slightly in 2015 compared with 2014, from 633 million to 667 million, it is far from the results the group looked for advertising-financed television four years then, in 1077 m. And declining audience shares in turn leads to fewer advertising revenue.

“It is absolutely one of the largest revenue streams that we have and we want to move it to a digital context. People migrate at a furious pace to digital platforms and where we want to invest, “says Anders Jensen.

MTG in 2015 focused on transforming the company from a traditional TV companies to a digital video entertainment group. Viafree, which will be launched after the summer, can be seen as part of that work. In addition to television content from the play-channel service will also include content from other parts of the MTG family Splay, but there are also discussions with local and international content providers.

“There are no major television houses in Scandinavia today that share content with each other. It is not only traditional television content we think is interesting, but all the moving picture that can generate interest among viewers and thus have a commercial value. “

” Above all, I believe that we will find so very many new sources of exciting content and make Viafree a rather unique service in Scandinavia, “says Anders Jensen.

Lower profits for Nordea and SEB – Sveriges Radio

Nordea’s profit was SEK nine billion, down from 13 billion a year ago. Nordea’s CEO Casper von Koskull claims to still be quite satisfied.

– I think it is an acceptable and okay results given the tough environment we are in, he said.

how can you say that it is acceptable when the profits went down so much?

– the quarter of last year was exceptional so it is not right to compare only there. When we have negative interest rates, low growth and low demand – then you have to say that it is a good result.

In the early , last year it was more optimistic among companies and individuals. Exchange was up, but the first quarter of this year was down, and the year began with a proper turbulence in global markets.

And the interest rates are lower now than last year, partly because of the Riksbank’s negative interest rates, something banks say they lose money on.

Also bank SEB published its report today. And there was actually a loss of one and a half billion. But it depends on an accounting maneuver that the Bank will reorganize itself.

But even if you look at the business itself, the result is considerably worse than last year, four and a half billion to almost six a year ago.

– the big difference is that customer activity is much lower, that is what we earn in commissions has declined sharply in the quarter and that customers also not been as active on borrowing money. There is a fairly large degree of caution in this quarter. We are a commercial bank, we are dependent on customers being active, says SEB Chief Executive Officer Annika Falkengren.
