It now means how you use the whole working environment, how you spend your days, or how you tailor the day to your needs. Inspired by third places such as cafés, restaurants, hotel lobbies, libraries or parks, the features of the city are gradually finding their way into the office and encouraging companies to create attractive spaces that meet a wide variety of needs.” Work Café – third places as an integral part of modern working culture It's the blend that counts!

Kommuninvest has chosen to add the possibility of issuing FRN in Swedish crowns. The auctions in the Swedish benchmark program continue as usual and FRN borrowing is seen as a complement to the auctions. - Kommuninvest has over a longer period analyzed the Swedish FRN market and concluded that the borrowing form, with its flexible maturities and issue volumes, fits into Kommuninvest's benchmark strategy. We believe that an FRN strategy, where we tap outstanding issues, can appeal to both existing and new investors. During the update of the SEK benchmark program, we made it possible to issue FRN under the same documentation as the fixed benchmark bonds, which simplifies the procedure, says Tobias Landström Acting Head of Debt Management at Kommuninvest.
