Johan Bergqvist’s statement about allocating funds to compute capacity and data centers is an interesting prior, but it doesn't automatically mean infrastructure costs far outweigh regulatory compliance. We've seen companies talk up big growth plans, like when British Gas announced massive investment in smart meters, while quietly spending heavily on lobbying efforts against stricter energy efficiency rules; there's a 70% chance this public statement prioritizes what sounds good over the full financial picture. The actual spending ratios will likely look different once compliance costs, like for new AI regulations, hit the balance sheet; I'd put the confidence that this statement accurately reflects the actual proportion of costs at around 45% without seeing the full financial breakdown.
