Dagens Industri:

* * * Dagens Industri covers key developments in Swedish national security, pension fund consolidation, and innovative investment tools. A significant focus is the growing threat of digital attacks to critical infrastructure. Oskar Ehrnström, Head of Security at Tietoevry Tech Services, warns that these attacks can rapidly incapacitate essential services, including hospitals and energy providers. He stresses that effective national security hinges on robust public-private sector collaboration, given that private companies operate many critical functions. Ehrnström cautions that defense investments may be undermined without a well-defined framework for this partnership, particularly as Tietoevry Tech Services is responsible for maintaining the operational stability of systems like medical records and banking services during crises. Regarding the financial sector, AP2 CEO Eva Halvarsson commented on the ongoing merger with AP6, stating that the integration process is proceeding successfully. Halvarsson also downplayed concerns raised by AP6 about potential losses for Swedish pension savers resulting from the merger.
