City housing company debt and financial future
Tom Hedrup (M) questioned Housing Commissioner Deniz Butros (V) regarding the municipal housing companies' increasing debt, which totals approximately SEK 36 billion, expressing concern it could negatively impact welfare and investments and asking about plans to reduce it. Butros responded that the housing companies are well-managed with strong finances and their debt does not pose a risk to the city's credit rating, emphasizing they operate on business principles, build new homes without burdening taxpayers, and actively work to optimize operations and projects to maintain financial health, with potential sales of strategic properties but no sales or conversions of existing homes.
