“Besqab delivers a second quarter with strong sales, several production starts and a significantly improved result compared to the same period last year. The return on equity improved, which is partly a result of our focused work to shorten lead times in the projects and work more capital-efficiently. Activity in the housing market in Stockholm increased during the quarter with rising sales, lower supply and rising prices.”
