M&A in Finland (2012)
Economic situation in Finland
Finland joined the European Union (EU) in 1995. Finland’s debt remains below the 60% benchmark set by the European Union's (EU’s) growth and stability pact. It is declining from 44% of the GDP in 2008 to 38% in May 2011. Despite the debt level, exports are still not returned to the level before the crisis. Due to the decline in international trade the total value declined from $129bn in 2008 to $89bn in 2009 with a small recovery to $90bn in 2010.
Almost no corruption exists in Finland. The country is ranked 4th out of 180 on the Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index. This makes Finland an attractive country for foreign (M&A) investments.
