Europe is one of the world's weakest telecom markets. This is according to Ericsson CEO Börje Ekholm in an interview in New York with the news agency Bloomberg.

He is open to moving the headquarters to the USA at some point in the future.

Europe is lagging behind, according to Ekholm.

The natural development is that we shrink in Europe and grow in North America, he says to the news agency.

Regarding a potential move of the headquarters to the USA, it is a "question that always comes up".

Will we move sometime? It can absolutely happen, says Börje Ekholm.
