What did we say two years ago already?

This year Finland’s economic growth has accelerated and become export-driven. On the one hand, this positive upswing is explained by accelerating economic growth in several key export countries and, on the other hand, by sector-specific factors. Our Institute has raised its growth forecast by 1.7 percentage points for the current year and 0.8 percentage points for next year. We estimate that this year Finland’s GDP will grow by 3.6 per cent and 2.5 per cent next year. Next year’s slower growth might turn into a prolonged phenomenon. The most severe threats associated with it come from outside Finland.
