Finland’s “tax-funded bubble” is worse than thought, says Purra

ALTHOUGH the Finnish economy is beginning to emerge from the downturn, the economic outlook remains cloudy as the government holds for its budget session this week, views Minister of Finance Riikka Purra (PS).

“The economy still isn’t really providing any kind positive boost, there’ll be no help from the outside and many details – the well-being services counties being by far the largest – are increasingly desperate,” she stated last week at a meeting of the Finns Party Parliamentary Group in Kouvola, according to Helsingin Sanomat.
