Arctic Paper in the paper segment delivered good results although pulp prices continued to increase. This was due in part to the effects of an improved cost and financing structure, increasing the Group’s operating flexibility and competitiveness. A vital role in generating good results in the paper segment was also played by expansion of the product line and an appropriate product mix in this segment.
