Orpo’s fiscal tightening raises Finland’s public debt ratio, says new report
A new economic analysis claims that the Finnish government's current fiscal tightening programme is weakening economic growth and raising the country’s debt-to-GDP ratio. The report, published by the Centre for New Economic Thinking (UTAK), focuses on the consolidation policies of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo’s administration. It concludes that the austerity-driven economic strategy is not achieving the intended goal of debt reduction.
