Nordea's methane engagement: pushing energy companies to achieve near-zero methane emissions
Head of Responsible Investments Eric Pedersen and ESG Director, Climate & Nature Renée Tengberg explains why engaging on methane emissions reductions is important from an investor perspective.
The overall impact of the Middle East conflict on activity in the Norwegian economy is likely to be limited. Even so, the outlook is somewhat weaker than in previous forecasts because of higher, not lower, interest rates.
The Finnish economy has finally returned to broad-based growth, with both private consumption and industrial output picking up. Growth is also beginning to support the labour market and public finances. However, higher energy prices and rising interest rates in the wake of the Middle East crisis are expected to weigh on economic activity later in the year.
Sweden is on a solid footing and can withstand several of the challenges arising from the war in the Middle East. A favourable circumstance is the low inflation rate this year. Uncertainty is high. A key factor will be how long the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
The Middle East war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupt energy and supply chains and weaken confidence. We therefore downgrade our global growth forecast, while central banks face rising price pressures.
