Exchange Rate in Finland
Finland - Exchange Rate
Quarter-on-quarter economic growth accelerated in Q1 according to a comprehensive GDP release, matching the initial estimate and up from Q4’s reading. The acceleration was due to a sharp increase in government consumption and a large growth contribution from the external sector on higher exports and lower imports. Turning to Q2, economic activity rose annually in April at the fastest pace since March 2018; however, the unemployment rate ticked up. In politics, the Social Democrats recently formed a majority coalition government with the Center Party, the Green Party, the Left Alliance and the Swedish People’s Party. The government pledged to raise public spending by EUR 1.2 billion every year and spend EUR 3 billion in one-off investments over the next four years in a bid to make Finland a carbon neutral country by 2035; extra spending is to be financed by fossil fuel taxes and state asset selloffs.Finland - Exchange Rate Data

The main reason for April’s slump was a massive downturn in the primary income account balance, which was itself caused by a strong increase in investment income debits on the back of international company restructurings at the end of last year. In the 12 months leading up to April, the current account balance totaled a EUR 5.3 billion deficit, representing a deterioration from the EUR 1.9 billion shortfall in March.
