Handelsbanken får behålla kreditbetyg trots kreditsmäll

Carillion plc is a British multinational facilities management and construction services company headquartered in Wolverhampton in the United Kingdom. The company experienced financial difficulties in 2017, and went into compulsory liquidation on 15 January 2018, the most drastic procedure in UK insolvency law. Before its liquidation, it was the second largest construction company in the United Kingdom, listed on the London Stock Exchange, and had some 43,000 employees (around 20,000 of them in the United Kingdom). In the United Kingdom, the insolvency has caused project shutdowns, job losses (in Carillion - 1,458 UK redundancies up to 5 March 2018 - and its suppliers), losses to joint venture partners and lenders, and potential financial losses to Carillion's 30,000 suppliers and 28,500 pensioners. It has also led to questions and parliamentary enquiries about the conduct of the firm's directors and auditors, and about the UK Government's relationships with major suppliers working on Private Finance Initiative (PFI) schemes and other privatised provision of public services. PFI projects in Ireland have also been suspended, while four of Carillion's Canadian businesses sought legal bankruptcy protection.
