In the latest previous forecast from September, Finland's central bank expected a GDP growth of 1.1 percent in 2025 and the average forecast among analysts is a growth of 1.6 percent in 2025, according to a compilation of forecasts made by Bloomberg.
Finland's economy has been one of Europe's weakest since before the pandemic and the country has been harder hit than many other EU countries by frozen trade with Russia after the full-scale Russian attack on Ukraine in 2022, while demand from other important trading partners – such as Sweden and Germany – has been weaker than usual.
A new GDP forecast from Finland's government is expected on Thursday.
