Finland’s industrial production came to a standstill at the start of 2026, with year-over-year output registering 0.0% in January, according to data updated on 10 March 2026. This marks a sharp cooling from December 2025, when industrial output grew 2.3% compared with the same month a year earlier.
The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, where the current reading reflects the change in output in January 2026 relative to January 2025, while the previous reading shows the change in December 2025 versus December 2024. The abrupt shift from solid growth to zero expansion suggests momentum in Finnish industry weakened notably as the new year began.
