Economic Policy Conclusions

Research institute Labore raises its forecast for Finland’s economic growth in 2026 to 1.7 percent, which is 0.8 percentage points more than in the spring forecast. Exports and investment are supporting growth, and private consumption is also recovering. Employment is improving slowly, however. In 2027 and 2028, the economy is expected to grow by 1.6 and 1.5 percent respectively. (AI translation)
