A protracted yet shallow recession in Finland lies ahead
We expect a shallow but protracted recession in Finland from Q3 this year to Q1 2023, with a contraction of just over 1% from peak to trough. While Q2 growth proved resilient, pushing up our forecast for 2022 to 2.2%, the near-term outlook is bleak.

We expect growth of just 0.9% in 2023, down from 1.4% last month.
