A sectoral balance sheet analysis of Finland -- Product market reform, R&D spending, and firm-level productivity in Finland |
| Summary |
Debt levels have climbed considerably in Finland in recent years, raising concerns about the extent to which financial vulnerabilities have grown in different sectors. This chapter looks at financial balance sheets for the main sectors of the economy to assesses their financial vulnerabilities and highlights policy options to contain the risks. -- Finland has suffered a unique combination of structural and cyclical shocks since 2007 and boosting productivity growth is crucial to restarting growth. The authorities are already undertaking extensive structural reforms, but there remains scope for improvement in areas of product market regulation and innovation. This paper uses an extensive dataset of Finnish firms to empirically assess the potential productivity gains from product market reform and research and development (R&D) spending. |
