A SNAPSHOT OF MALMÖ More than 160,000 people work in Malmö and new jobs are created in the city every day. These opportunities are generated by companies already here, businesses that are moving in and new firms that are starting out. Together they feed a thriving business sector and form a solid platform for continued expansion. Without sustainable growth we cannot offer stimulating employment to our growing population. In 2014 the number of people living in Malmö grew for the 30th consecutive year. On current forecasts, we will have more than 350,000 residents within a few years. This makes it all the more important that we work to develop the city and promote sustainable, inclusive growth. Our collaboration with Copenhagen and nearby municipalities is helping to develop a common labour market served by first-class transport
and infrastructure, so everyone can get easily to and from work wherever they live in the region. An exciting nationwide project – the National Negotiation on Housing and Infrastructure – promises to make things even better. One of Sweden’s biggest ever infrastructure projects, this venture will connect the country’s three largest cities via a new high-speed rail network. The project will enable people to commute from Stockholm to Malmö in around two-and-a-half hours. It creates a golden opportunity for us and the entire region to achieve sustainable growth and a strong housing market, for the benefit of people and businesses alike. Together, we are working hard to be a city at the cutting edge. A modern city that people choose to visit, live and work in.

Planned projects
A TUNNEL BETWEEN DENMARK AND GERMANY
TWO NEW MAJOR RESEARCH FACILITIES
Construction of the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel will connect Denmark and Germany and the project is scheduled for completion in 2024. As the first terrestrial link between Scandinavia and the European continent, the tunnel will substantially reduce current travelling times. Like the Öresund Bridge, a key driving force for regional integration, and the expansive Öresund region, the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel is expected to encourage the emergence of a new cross-border region.
Both centres are being built in Lund, 20 km north of Malmö. The MAX IV and European Spallation Source (ESS) projects will offer an array of new research opportunities, creating new jobs and fuelling regional growth. MAX IV is a synchrotron light laboratory that will be a resource for 2,000 scientists from worldwide every year. It is due to open in mid-2016. The ESS will be the world’s most powerful neutron source for materials research. It is a partnership between 17 European states and will open in 2019.
UNDERGROUND LINK BETWEEN MALMÖ AND COPENHAGEN?
Illustration: Öresundsmetro
An undersea metro link would put Malmö and Copenhagen just 20 minutes apart. A metro would ease pressure on the Öresund Bridge, which is projected to see increased goods traffic when the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel opens, and promote increased cross-border integration. Phase two of the feasibility study is complete and the City of Malmö and Copenhagen City Council are applying for phase three EU funding. Phase three will examine suitable technologies based on functionality, environmental impact and cost. If approved, the metro link could be complete by about 2030.

The Öresund region The Öresund region is the Nordic region’s largest and most densely populated area. It straddles Sweden and Denmark and links them via the Öresund Bridge, which opened in July 2000. The 16-km link connects Malmö and the Danish capital Copenhagen.
CONTINUING TO GROW The completion in 2024 of the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel linking Denmark and Germany will help the region to become a highly competitive economic powerhouse. Transport and commuting times will shrink and the tunnel will benefit regional integration, growth, jobs, tourism, research and development and culture. SWEDEN

MalmÜ has two ring roads – an inner and an outer – that together provide efficient transit and logistics
The city is also home to one of Sweden’s largest industrial ports. The port, which also caters for passenger traffic, was recently upgraded with new terminals, depots and surfacing
The City Tunnel, which opened in 2010 and added two new railway stations, further improved MalmÜ’s infrastructure. The tunnel has cut commuting times on various routes and made mobility even easier
Close proximity to trunk road and rail networks makes for efficient transport of goods and people, both inside Sweden and to onward destinations in Scandinavia and Europe

NATIONAL NEGOTIATION ON HOUSING AND INFRASTRUCTURE
This government initiative is one of Sweden’s largest-ever infrastructure projects. It envisages the construction of new high-speed rail links between Stockholm and Gothenburg and Stockholm and Malmo, cutting journey times between each city and the capital to two and two-and-a-half hours respectively. The project will also improve public transport in the three cities and promote house building.
YTTRE RINGVĂ„GEN (OUTER RING)
Improved links between Sweden’s three main metropolitan areas will create a golden opportunity for MalmÜ and the region to achieve sustainable growth and develop its housing stock. Benefits will also be felt in the labour market and regional business and by the environment. Negotiations will begin in 2016, leading to a signed agreement the following year.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE MARKET
ññ The vacancy rate rose from 7.5% to 9.5% in 2014. Prime rent levels for the Central Business District (CBD) increased to SEK 2,075 m2/yr from SEK 2,000 the previous year ññ Properties close to the city’s stations are popular, especially among businesses. Good public transport connections have boosted the Triangeln area ññ Over the last two to three years we have seen a decline in the city centre retail trade. However, a rebound has begun and demand for retail property in central locations along the main pedestrian street rose somewhat in 2014 ññ Activity-based offices are becoming more popular and property owners in Malmö are increasingly adapting office space to offer greater diversity in terms of size, design, fittings and aspect. This allows tenants to customise their physical environment to suit their chosen line of work ññ In Hyllie the emphasis is on new builds targeted at companies drawn by the area’s location and public transport links ññ In 2014 a zoning plan was agreed for the Northern Harbour and the development of 750,000 m2 of land at Malmö Industrial Park Prime rent = projected rent for high-quality office space of more than 500 m2 in a prime location excluding non-typical examples

HOUSING CONSTRUCTION
ññ In 2014 construction of 1,880 homes began, while work was completed on more than 1,000 homes. Forty per cent of completed homes and around 30% of those under construction were under contract to MKB, a municipal housing company owned by the City of Malmö ññ Of properties under construction and completed, the ratio of leasehold dwellings was 69% and 74% respectively, which is higher than usual ññ Most new residential builds were in Hyllie and the Western Harbour and Limhamn harbour areas. Residential construction is in full swing in Hyllie and around 300 homes will be built there annually in the next few years ññ Housing construction will be concentrated to three areas in particular in the next few years: Western Harbour– Varvsstaden–Nyhamnen, Hyllie–Holma– Kroksbäck, and Norra Sorgenfri–Rosengård ññ Permits were issued for 3,100 new homes under new zoning arrangements in 2014 ññ Residential construction takes place nowadays under market conditions. However, housing construction has failed to keep pace with the expansion of Malmö’s population even during periods of economic growth
WORKFORCE
ññ Malmö had a workforce of 155,564 people in 2014, an increase of 768, or 0.5%, from the prior year ññ The autumn of 2011 saw employment begin to pick up again after several years of stagnation in the wake of the global financial crisis. Employment has since increased steadily and is now at a record high ññ In 2014 employment increased in the automotive, construction, waste management and financial services sectors, with decreases recorded in the travel service and telecommunications sectors ññ The largest increase was among Swedish privately owned business groups, followed by the municipal sector. The legal forms of enterprise that showed the strongest growth were limited liability companies and non-profit organisations ññ The workforce has risen by 20% in 10 years. A long-term upward trend can be seen in the business service, IT, software consulting, hotel and restaurant, education and training, and retail sectors
Workforce = daytime population, i.e. the number of people in work in Malmö (excluding sole proprietors) with an income of at least SEK 44,400 per year or with locum employment for more than three months
UNEMPLOYMENT
ññ In 2014 unemployment fell slightly in Skåne and Malmö and the number of lay-offs also dropped. The decrease was minimal compared to the country as whole and the rate of decrease was also slower, in spite of strong demand for labour ññ Unemployment in Malmö was unchanged from the previous year at 14.9%. The unemployment rate for people aged 18 to 24 fell from 24.5% to 23.3%. An average of 21,207 people were registered with the Public Employment Office, 3,815 of them in the 18–24 age bracket ññ Unemployment was higher among males (16.6%) than among females (13.2%). The disparity was even higher among young people (27.9% for males and 18.8% for females). There are major differences in the unemployment rate among different demographic groups – higher among young people and people born abroad and also higher among men than women across all groups ññ Unemployment was high in Malmö compared to other large Swedish cities. In Gothenburg the rate was 8.7% and in Stockholm 6.6% (among people registered for work aged 16 to 64) Annual average. People aged 16 to 64 registered with the Public Employment Office as a percentage of the registered workforce. (1997–2007 = as percentage of population)

Malmö has a thriving business sector and a spirit of optimism. The city experienced a difficult time in the 1990s amid industrial decline and layoffs. Two key decisions – to build Malmö University (1998) and the Öresund Bridge (2000) helped turn the tide and saw Malmö transition from industrial city to knowledge centre.

As of 2009 data are shown according to a new sector classification, which explains the gaps in the graphs. Even in cases where the sector name has remained unchanged, for instance manufacturing, the underlying definition may have changed. It is therefore not possible to compare the old and new classifications on a like-for-like basis. We have opted to retain and show the old definitions to make it easier to assess the long-term trend.
AT A GLANCE: Long-term trend
Changes in sector classification make it impossible to offer a detailed long-term analysis. We can only summarise the overall trend in a few short comments
Positive trends can be seen in business services, IT and computer consulting, hotels and restaurants, education, and retail
Negative trends can be observed in manufacturing and agriculture, forestry and fishing

The increase seen in 2011 reflects changes in status rules implemented in 2010 and 2011 to address inconsistencies in the business register. The definition of workforce is the same as the daytime population, meaning people employed in Malmö (except sole proprietors) with annual salaries of SEK 44,400 or more, or who hold locum positions for more than three months.
