Economic policy in Finland must find a way to live in two time periods at once. While we are currently combating an acute crisis, we must at the same time direct our thinking strongly towards the economic challenges of the post-crisis years.
COVID-19 will gradually be left behind in the course of 2021 due to the vaccines, and private consumption will generate growth of 2.2% in the Finnish economy. This will strengthen to 2.5% in 2022.
Vaccines bring hope of an end to the COVID-19 crisis, but recovery will be slow. In the immediate years ahead, household consumption will drive the economy, but exports and investment will remain sluggish.
