Orders received contracted in business area Construction during the year but were relatively unchanged in business area Civil Engineering compared to 2021. Orders received in business area Industry increased but declined in business area Project Development as a result of fewer production starts of our own housing developments due to a drop in demand in the housing market during the year.
