Note: Scenarios are not forecasts but possible future worlds, which have been created as a result of discussions, interviews and workshops. They enable us to think systematically about the future, but should not be used as a basis for decision-making. With these scenarios, Danske Bank and Nordic West Office want to promote discussion about the future of the Nordic countries from the perspective of businesses and investors. The views presented in the report do not necessarily reflect the views of Danske Bank, Nordic West Office or the other participating companies and organizations.
