Consumer Confidence in Finland Remains Weak in December 2025 The national consumer confidence indicator showed a balance of –7.3 in December 2025, slightly better than the –8.6 recorded in December 2024 and the –7.6 in November 2025. The long‑term average balance is –2.8. The survey, completed by 1,213 respondents, found that people’s views of their current personal finances improved compared with last year but remained low, while expectations for the Finnish economy were unchanged. Confidence in the next‑year unemployment situation stayed pessimistic; only 15 % expect it to fall and 55 % expect it to rise. Expected inflation was 4.3 % year‑on‑year and 3.7 % for the next year. Only 10 % plan to increase durable‑goods spending, 14 % consider buying a car, 11 % think about buying a home, and 16 % plan home repairs.
