Spinning the Roulette Wheel: Did Helsinki’s Economic Gamble Pay Off?

The Finnish economy has gone from strength to strength over the last couple of decades, since recovering from its last recession in the early 1990s. After joining the European Union in 1995 the country has experienced consistent year on year growth to both their GPD (Gross Domestic Product) and GDP per Capita. In 2020, the International Monetary Fund ranked Finland 44th in its worldwide list of countries organized by GDP: not bad for a nation with a population of only 5.5 million people.
