Finland’s GDP rose 0.9% in Q3 based on the flash estimate, in line with our forecast. High-frequency indicators show that the economy remains resilient amid mounting downside risks related to supply-chain bottlenecks and surging energy prices.
What you will learn:
- Virus transmission remains contained even after all restrictions were lifted, as almost 85% of adults are fully vaccinated.

- Consumer confidence in October moderated from the multi-year high in September, when all pandemic restrictions were lifted.
