FX.co ★ Finland Current Account Surplus Narrows Sharply

In September 2025, Finland's current account surplus significantly contracted to EUR 50 million, a notable decrease from the EUR 988 million recorded in the same month the previous year. This reduction was largely influenced by a steep decline in the goods account surplus, which plummeted to EUR 333 million from EUR 993 million, as the export of goods dipped by 3% year-on-year, contrasted by an 8% rise in goods imports. Concurrently, the services account deficit expanded to EUR 650 million from EUR 207 million, driven by an 11% decrease in service exports alongside a 2% increase in service imports. Additionally, the secondary income deficit rose to EUR 172 million from EUR 126 million. However, there was a positive development in the primary income surplus, which increased to EUR 539 million from EUR 328 million in September 2024. Over a 12-month period, the cumulative current account surplus stood at EUR 1.5 billion.
