As a result, the group earned 289 million euros from April to June, 37 percent less than a year ago, as Nokia announced on Thursday in Espoo. Nokia’s customers are reluctant to invest in the face of inflation and rising interest rates. That’s why the group had lowered its sales and margin targets for the year a week ago, when it announced its preliminary figures. As is known, sales in the last quarter amounted to 5.7 billion euros, three percent below the level of the previous year. Operating profit fell 16 percent to 474 million euros.
