Finland’s economy expanded by 1.6% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2026, easing slightly from a revised 1.8% increase recorded in June 2026. The latest gross domestic product reading, updated on 28 August 2026, points to a modest loss of momentum as the recovery continues at a slower pace.
The comparison is based on year-on-year changes, with the current figure reflecting growth in the second quarter of 2026 versus the same period a year earlier. The previous indicator similarly compared June 2026 to June 2025. While the small deceleration suggests some cooling, the data still indicate that Finland remains on a positive growth trajectory heading into the second half of 2026.
