Bunch of nonsense. There is no crisis and everything is fine.
Our previous prime minister said herself that the reason finland pays into EU instead of receiving aid from it because we are one of the richest member states.
We are still in 2025 sending over 1.2 billion euros as foreign aid.
over 300 million euros as funding to different organisations without any actual insight what they do with the money. The officials themselves defended this by claiming its impossible to figure out where all the money goes.
So no, i dont believe for a second theres reason for any sort of worry. Obviously we got more than enough money.

This sub hates right wing governments, but Finland’s rw government is the only recent coalition that’s been able to make some cuts to Finland’s public expenses. Still not enough though. Meanwhile the leftist parties, especially Vasemmistoliitto, are in denial about there being too much debt at all.

It’ll be interesting to see how Finland addresses these economic challenges.

> but further efforts are needed to increase the labor supply and reduce labor market rigidities
I hazard to take seriously a report, that midst record labor supply aka record unemployed job seekers says we need more supply. We dont have a labor supply issue. We have an employment supply issue.
Plus ofcourse IMF though it was just an amazing thing, that part time work was made less appealing to workers and government banned striking against political run around for bargaining disputes…. hey just decide that on labour law side and make striking about political decisions including labor and employment politics effectively illegal.

Funny how the IMF keeps warning solvent countries about “spiraling” debt and doesn’t say a word about a certain country with 50% more debt and the management plan boiling down to cryptocurrency and prayers.

Totally normal. Whole EU is becoming less and less productive due to tightening of the wages.

See, this is what happens when you chill at the sauna all day long. Too much vodka and ice baths and not enough hard work. It must be that lutheran work ethic, or the six months of sunlight a year, all spent lounging under a pine. All faith and no works? No wonder they get nothing done.

“Weak productivity” is code for pushing for more than 40 working hours per week, no holidays and especially no retirement.

Finland’s deficit could easily be solved by heavily taxing the pensions that are above the current median, but pensioners are the most active voting group so no party will dare to touch the pensions. At this rate we’ll end up having debt to GDP ratio close to 200% and hopefully then IMF will force the government to actually do something.

How about everything over 10k monthly salary 99% tax, and everything over 25k salary 99.9% salary. Who would want to work their ass off for the golden toilet of management and only get the turds in return? Isn’t this basic fairness, if they want to whip the workers harder make it fair.
