  • Historically low growth rate in the mortgage market

    The consequences of increased mortgage interest rates and falling housing prices are felt on the mortgage market, shows a new survey from Statistics Norway.

    In January 2023, the annual growth rate of housing loans was 3.7 percent. Which is the lowest rate of increase measured in Statistics Norway’s statistics, which go back to 2006.

    – The growth rate has clearly decreased for both loans to single-family houses and loans to condominiums. For a long time, the growth rate of loans for the purchase of condominiums has been significantly higher than for single-family house loans. But in January this year, the growth rate was the same. It has never happened before, says Johannes Holmberg, national economist at Statistics Sweden, in a press release.

  • Five vehicles in collision – car overturned

    – It is very slippery at the scene, says Magnus Jansson Klarin, press spokesperson at the police.

    A woman is taken to hospital by ambulance. Several people have been treated on site. However, there is no information on the state of damage.

    The road is closed and is expected to reopen around 08:30.

  • Swedish parents vaccinate children abroad

    Swedish parents go abroad to vaccinate their children against covid-19, reports Sweden’s Radio Echo.

    Since last autumn, the authority only recommends that children with special medical reasons should be vaccinated here.

  • Explosion in Hässleholm

    The police were called to an address in central Hässleholm after an alarm about a loud bang just after 4 o’clock on Tuesday night.

  • Tore open the car door and assaulted the man

    The police were alerted to a car in Ale municipality at 02.20. At the scene, the man states that 3-4 people pulled open the car door and assaulted him. The reason must have been that they wanted money from him, the police write on their website.

    Hi Thor! It could be, but as we currently cannot confirm that it is a knife in particular, we cannot write it – it could be some other sharp object.

  • Aftonbladet’s front page is almost exclusively about crime. Maybe time to change the name to Kriminalbladet?

    Hello Johanna! It is true that we write a lot about crime, in part it is a reflection of a serious wave of violence that has hit Stockholm in recent times. But there is plenty of other entertainment, sports, politics and lighter talk for those not interested in crime. We also welcome tips at [email protected]!
