24 In sum, Nordics need to strengthen competitiveness and solve looming talent crisis Pressure on productivity Pressure on hours worked 1 Export less unique and not exposed to high growth markets 7 Nordics are working less than many peers MNCs moving out Framework conditions for businesses are too weak Not enough on forward-looking investment (relative to social costs) 8 9 Increasing dependency ratios, leading to workforce shortage Nordics are less attractive to international talent than peers 5 Factor costs are too high 6 Room for improvement on key productivity drivers (innovation, digitalization) Nordic Agenda_Triton_ presentation version.pptx 23

25 Hours worked drivers Productivity drivers "Nordic Agenda" with 10 key priorities I "Funding the II "Winning in the III journey" medium term" "Right team, talent and culture" 1 2 Reduce public expenditure as share of GDP Take immediate action to help businesses overcome competitive disadvantages Invest more into, and get the most out of, talent, innovation and digitalization Revitalize public sector Improve framework conditions for businesses 8 Become a magnet for international talent 3 Get more people into the workforce 9 Leverage the current workforce/population to higher degree 4 Open the labor market 10 Increase the workforce through immigration Nordic Agenda_Triton_ presentation version.pptx 24
