Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
The construction company JM announces that 200 people will be laid off. The background is the forseen recession leading to a reduced demand of construction, and therefore the need to plan layoffs. JM is one of many construction and real estate companies that has been forced to reduce their workforce as a result of the forcasted recession. The increased interest rates are particularly noticable in the construction sector, which has long enjoyed a construction boom in Sweden. The higher interest rates are leading to a lower sales rate, and forces a lower volume of production in the entire sector.
