Pulp love i.e. Stora, UPM, Metsä etc.

Precisely. The question is mainly whether the joint venture or UPM will close its paper mill. The impact on the paper market is ultimately the same.

The joint venture is a way to get them off UPM’s balance sheet while cashing in a formal compensation for them. In addition, the shares in the joint venture can later be sold forward.
