-"2022 was another successful year for ABB, including a further streamlining
of our business portfolio and achieving our margin target earlier than
expected. We have made ABB more resilient. In 2023, regardless of current
market uncertainty, we want to show that we can continuously deliver an
Operational EBITA margin of at least 15%."Björn Rosengren, CEO
