FX.co ★ Finnish Q4 GDP Revised Lower

Finland’s gross domestic product grew by 0.4% quarter-on-quarter in the fourth quarter of 2025, below the preliminary estimate of 0.6% but rebounding from a downwardly revised 0.1% contraction in the previous quarter. This was the first expansion since the third quarter of 2024 and was supported by stronger household consumption (up 0.4% vs. 0.3% in Q3) and higher gross fixed capital formation (up 1.7% vs. 0% previously). In contrast, government consumption fell by 1.4%, reversing a 1% increase in the prior quarter. Net external demand also weighed on growth, as exports (-4.1% vs. +3.1%) declined more sharply than imports (-1.7% vs. +2.9%). On an annual basis, the economy expanded by 0.1% in Q4, recovering from a downwardly revised 0.1% contraction in the preceding quarter.
