Finland’s economic growth

Now the economic news.

An economic expert predicts strong economic growth for Finland.

Professor Mika Maliranta has written a book about the Finnish economy. Maliranta believes that young companies strengthen the Finnish economy.

“There is such a special dynamic there. And this group seems to be the one that brings an additional component to this growth.”

For example, this smart ring is a Finnish invention.

However, most of the economic growth comes from old and medium-sized companies. Maliranta says that there has also been a renewal in them.

It was bad for the pumpkin. The rain softened its underside. That’s why Nyqvist couldn’t participate in the giant vegetable competition.
