Turning Point of Productivity* Development in Finland
After 2008 Finland has lost considerable volume production in electronics, forest and
machinery industries**

*) Productivity is measured as real value added per hours worked. When productivity grows (the curve rises)
value added grows more than hours worked.
Value added = turnover – purchasing of materials and services
Value added = labour costs + rents + depreciations + profits
**) The structure of current
industry does not enable the
similar productivity development

Taxes should support growth and investment in Finland
Support decision making in companies related to compensation and
working time
No new European nor national burdens on companies, which are
deteriorating the competitiveness
What should be done?

48. Global Structural Change Set to Continue Apace
– Industrial production and services will relocate to rapidly developing economic areas
– Strong growth, large markets, cheap labour and increasing expertise will increase the
attractiveness of these regions.
Competition over Skills and Raw Materials Set to Increase
– Due to an increase in retirement, the sector’s annual recruitment need in Finland will rise
considerably in the coming years.
– The availability of reasonably-priced energy also threatens to become an investment
bottleneck in Finland
Combating Climate Change
– A challenge as costs are set to grow faster than in competitor countries
– An opportunity for new environmental and energy technologies
