According to Statistics Finland, the volume of Finland’s gross domestic product decreased by 0.6 per cent in October to December 2022 compared with the previous quarter. GDP adjusted for working days was on level with the previous year. The volume of GDP grew by 2.0 per cent in the whole of 2022. Russia’s attack on Ukraine and the rapid rate of inflation weakened both consumers’ and entrepreneurs’ confidence in the future. The weakened expectations began to be realised in the latter half of the year, when GDP and private consumption made a downturn.
