This, together with project development, has increased our lease income by 13 per cent to SEK 1,168 million as well as increasing our operating surplus by 15 per cent to SEK 832 million. This balances increased financing costs as a consequence of increasing interest rates during the first ten months of the year. Seen overall, the result for current management was SEK 450 million, in other words somewhat higher than 2007. I consider this to be good growth bearing in mind the turbulence of 2008. The Stockholm stock exchange’s development during 2008 has not been some cheerful reading. But it is my opinion that we have done a lot better than many others.
