the latest survey shows how it went second quarter and how expectations appear for the third quarter.
“the industry goes for full, but the question is whether this is the tip . It has grown very quickly and is now beginning to get worried. For the future, there are several questions that cut expectations, “said Anders Ekdahl, president of SINF.
Many companies experience that they are in the midst of the economic boom, but there are also a awareness that the future contains many uncertain factors.
“What happens to krona, the trade agreement with the United States, brexit and the presidential elections in the US? In addition, large parts of southern Europe are still problems, “says Anders Ekdahl.
Still it more than half who believe in increased order intake during the third quarter, but there is a slight decrease compared with the previous quarter.
the proportion that are planning to hire has decreased, from 31 percent to 26 percent. It is also slightly more planning to lay off staff, even though it is a relatively small proportion, 11 percent.
“Compared with the first six months, optimism has been dampened,” said Anders Ekdahl.
In an open question about what factors are most important continues long payment times to be a hobbyhorse. Subcontractors suffer from major companies pulling out of the payments and want to be paid within 30 days.
There’s something Industry Ministry watching. Industry Minister Mikael Damberg (S) has ordered an evaluation of how the amendment in 2013, which forced the public sector to pay within 30 days, has affected the private sector. It should be ready in the fall.
