TELIASONERA (TLSN.ST)

The Nordic telecom operator will not go unscathed from the economic downturn that has mired its Swedish home market, the company's top executive Lars Nyberg said in an interview with business daily Dagens Industri.

"Now there is talk unemployment will hit 11 percent in Sweden and that will certainly affect our revenues," Chief Executive Lars Nyberg was quoted as saying.

Nyberg also said the operator's main focus was growing in its existing markets. "Sure, it is a buyers market right now and we have a strong financial position, but to enter new markets is risky," he said.
