In Finland, the Statistics of Finland consumer survey expresses consumers’ views and intentions relating to economic matters. The data system of Statistics Finland’s consumer survey is comprised of respondent-specific original data from phones interviews, which may not be disclosed, and published data concerning reply distributions and time series. Generally consumer confidence is high when the unemployment rate is low and GDP growth is high. Measures of average consumer confidence can be useful indicators of how much consumers are likely to spend.

Finland’s consumer confidence rose to -6.5 in November 2025 from -7.6 in the previous month. Despite the uptick, the figure remained well below the long-term average of -2.8, reflecting continued weakness in overall sentiment. Assessments of the current state of the Finnish economy remained very subdued (-37.1 vs -40.1 in October), and expectations for economic conditions a year ahead were also cautious (-12 vs -13.2). Additionally, the period was still seen as unfavorable for major purchases (-10.6 vs -16.6) or loans (-25.5 vs -29.4), with few plans to spend or buy a home (11 vs 10.3). Expectations regarding the general unemployment trend also continued to be pessimistic (-27.2 vs -30.1), and individuals perceived the risk of personal unemployment as high (-16.6 vs -17.1). On a positive note, expectations for personal finances over the next year improved, reaching a relatively optimistic level (9.2 vs 6.2).
