Labore expects purchasing power to rise, especially for renting earners

RAPID DISINFLATION will consolidate the purchasing power of nearly all types of households in Finland, according to the Labour Institute for Economic Research (Labore).

Labore on Thursday published a report that analyses the effects of disinflation on the earnings, tax burden and purchasing power of eight imaginary households – ranging from a one-person household on benefits and a pensioner couple to a working-class household that rents to a home-owning high-income household.
