The 2008 Finland Country Survey argues that globalisation, including the increased mobility of jobs, will continue to put pressure on the Finnish tax base. In order to address this, the Survey recommends that Finland change the mix of taxation, with a reduced burden on labour (especially highly-skilled labour) and an increased burden on immobile factors such as land.

After many years of sustained growth, the housing market has slowed: house prices are falling and there has been a sharp reduction in the number of new homes being built. The exceptional rise in property values in recent years was largely driven by higher income and demographics, but did appear to overshoot the sustainable level. House prices may ease further and could even fall below their long-run value. Residential investment is experiencing a sharp slowdown. This will have some effect on wider economic activity.

Strong revenue growth in earlier years financed a sustained expansion of government spending and some cuts in tax rates, while still allowing the government to run a substantial fiscal surplus.

Public spending growth needs to slow.
