Given the macro challenges in 2022, I am very impressed by the way our employees have adapted and solved problems without ever losing focus on our customers. Our 2022 performance gives me great confidence in the future and 2023 will see the continued execution of our strategy, putting us in a position to meet the new needs and demands of our customers and realize our ambition to be the leading telco in the Nordic and Baltic regions.
