Finland’s economy showed fresh signs of momentum in the fourth quarter of 2025, with gross domestic product (GDP) expanding by 0.4% on a quarter-over-quarter basis. The latest data, updated on 27 February 2026, marks a clear improvement from the previous quarter’s modest 0.1% contraction.
The comparison is made on a quarter-over-quarter basis, meaning the current 0.4% increase reflects the change in GDP from the third to the fourth quarter of 2025, while the earlier -0.1% figure captured the change from the second to the third quarter of 2025. The shift from negative to positive territory suggests that economic activity strengthened notably at the end of the year, hinting at a potential stabilization after a softer patch in output.
While detailed sector breakdowns were not provided, the headline figures indicate that Finland has moved from a mild quarterly downturn into a phase of renewed growth as 2025 came to a close, an encouraging signal for policymakers and investors monitoring the trajectory of the Finnish economy.
