Makroökonomische Indikatoren

Economic activity is projected to grow by 0.7% in 2025 and 1.1% in 2026, driven by declining interest rates. However, the near-term recovery is subject to high uncertainty from geopolitical tensions and trade policy risks. Improving public spending efficiency, reducing non-productivity-enhancing state-aid and addressing labour market mismatches, raising skill levels, increasing access to capital market finance and fostering innovation and investment are critical to sustaining the recovery and reviving productivity growth.

Finland’s economy is gradually recovering after the sharp contraction in late 2023, but growth lags behind that of Nordic peers and the OECD average. Activity picked up in the first three quarters of 2024, driven by public investment and net exports, but it stalled in the fourth quarter due to weak private consumption. Overall, real GDP contracted by 0.1% in 2024. Inflation fell during 2024 owing to lower energy prices and feeble activity and in the first half of 2025 stabilised around 2%. Both exports and imports recovered modestly in 2024, however, consumer and business confidence remained subdued. The unemployment rate stood at 9.5% in March 2025, up from 8.4% a year earlier.

Real GDP is set to grow by 0.7% in 2025 and 1.1% in 2026, supported by declining interest rates, falling borrowing costs and rising purchasing power, although anaemic business and household confidence and continued weakness in the construction sector may constrain the recovery. Inflation is anticipated to remain around 2%, with upward pressure from rising import and wage costs offset by lower energy prices. Source: OECD Economic Survey
