22. OUTLOOK
22

23. OUTLOOK FY 2011
• The order situation remains good or
very good in most of Billerud’s
packaging paper areas. This provides
conditions for a stable development
within Billerud’s packaging paper and
packaging paper solutions segments.
• Price increases announced in the first
quarter of 2011 are expected to have
an impact in the coming quarters.
• The effects of a stronger SEK will be
largely compensated by currency
hedges.
