Finland is a small knowledge-intensive economy with an industry that has not recovered yet from the economic crisis and other external shocks. The manufacturing sector has been downsizing reflecting both an industrial restructuring (particularly in electronics due to changes in Nokia’s business) and losses in competitiveness. The economy is dominated by high and medium-high technology and still has a strong specialisation in ICT, wood and paper industries, metal-machinery and basic metals.
