release | Culture satellite accounts 2023

According to Statistics Finland, the supply and consumption of culture grew in euros in 2023, and the share of supply in the level of the whole economy grew slightly, but the share of consumption decreased. The number of employed persons grew slightly both in the field of culture and in the whole economy, and the share of culture in the level of the whole economy rose somewhat.

Key selections

  • The current priced value added of cultural industries grew in relative terms slightly more than the value added of the whole economy and it now accounted for 3.2 per cent of the value added of the whole economy.
  • The share of culture among employed persons grew somewhat, being 2.9 per cent in 2023.
  • Consumption expenditure used on culture grew in relative terms less than consumption expenditure in total in 2023, so the share of cultural consumption decreased.
  • The time series revision published in national accounts in autumn 2024 produced some mostly minor changes to cultural satellite accounts as well; the biggest changes concerned households' consumption expenditure, the level of which also fell clearly as concerns cultural consumption.
