Statistics Finland is Finland's national statistical institute that produces impartial statistics on Finnish society. Our task is to process data accumulated from various data sources into statistics to support decision-making and for the use of citizens, researchers and others needing data.
The new Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose (COICOP) will be adopted in the Consumer Price Index in January 2026. This will cause breaks in the time series of the Consumer Price Index, for example.
Statistics Finland's classifications pages have undergone an extensive update. As a result of the renewal, the service has an improved search function and an even clearer way of examining the classifications and their background information.
The implementation of the new statistical production system and the changed supplier of source data cause changes to the planned release dates of statistics on housing and construction in spring 2025. The changes concern data on new production of building projects and dwellings, annual data on the building stock, and annual and quarterly data on dwellings, household-dwelling units and housing conditions.
