Interest Rate in Finland
Finland - Interest Rate
The economy appears to have cooled slightly in the second quarter of the year, after quarter-on-quarter growth accelerated in Q1. A monthly survey conducted by the European Commission found that Finnish business and consumer confidence moderated to the lowest level in nearly three years in June, and the average reading for Q2 was notably below that for Q1. Moreover, economic activity fell in May compared to the previous month, after mildly increasing in April. On the external front, the value of the merchandise trade balance swung to a deficit in April?May, from a surplus in the same period a year earlier. In better news, the unemployment rate remained unchanged at an over one-decade low in May, highlighting the robustness of Finland’s labor market.Finland - Interest Rate Data
