Riksgälden say yes to the Saab Spykeraffären in its final report to the Government, as reported by TV 4 News on Thursday. The data, however, belied by SNDO CIO Marja Long.

Hopefully this positive outcome will be the catalyst for an EIB decision in the very near term.
I’ll post more if it comes to hand.
