15.4.2025 | Enligt en färsk utredning kräver genombrottet i plaståtervinning i Finland många åtgärder och styrning av den offentliga makten som stöder dessa, och till exempel de anläggningsinvesteringar som planeras räcker inte till för att öka återvinningsgraden av plast i betydande utsträckning. Nuförtiden hamnar cirka 80 procent av all plastavfall i Finland i energiåtervinning.

30.5.2022 | The misallocation of labour and capital in the Finnish business sector has increased in the 2000s, which has significantly retarded productivity growth. The concentration of labour to companies with lower productivity is a key factor in retarding growth. A more efficient allocation of labour could be influenced, for example, by dismantling incentive traps and increasing labour mobility and wage competition, states a recent study by Aalto University and ETLA Economic Research.

8.12.2021 | Labour productivity in Finland’s national economy has been stagnating at the 2007 level for more than a decade. How is the development of labour productivity affected by resource allocation and structural changes in different sectors? According to a study published on 8 December, there is room for improvement when it comes to resource allocation, but the strongest factor behind productivity growth is the favourable development of individual businesses.

20.6.2024 | Enligt scenariokalkyler kommer Finland inte att uppnå målet om koldioxidneutralitet före 2035 med nuvarande klimat- och energipolitiska åtgärder. Det är klart att ytterligare åtgärder krävs. Beroende på kalkylernas utgångspunkter omfattar behovet av ytterligare åtgärder 2–19 miljoner ton koldioxidekvivalenter (Mt CO2-ekv.). De största osäkerhetsfaktorerna gäller hur markanvändningssektorn utvecklas och huruvida det görs investeringar inom ren energi och industri.

16.12.2019 | A recent study shows that free trade agreements have had positive impacts within the EU, but their direct impact on Finland has remained below the EU average. There has been a significant increase in Finnish exports to many countries covered by the free trade agreements, but in most cases this is mainly due to the growth of trade in general as a result of globalisation. However, in certain secto...

18.12.2019 | The price level of CO2 emission allowances has varied considerably since the introduction of the EU emissions trading scheme (ETS), which may have an impact on the guiding effect of the system in the short and long term. A regional carbon price floor (CPF) has been proposed as a means to ensure the guiding effect of emissions trading in all market situations. What has been suggested is to introduce CPF regionally, e.g. in the Nordic countries or in the Nordic and Baltic countries.

28.2.2019 | It is well possible for Finland to be carbon neutral around 2040. To achieve this, the main thing for Finland to do is invest in a rapid reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in all emission sectors. Besides this, ways to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere are needed. Maintaining and strengthening forest carbon sinks have a key role in this. The collection and storage of carbon dioxide from the use of bioenergy may be one of the options for the future.
