Finland’s public debt increased more than any other EU country by the end of 2023, according to data released by the European Union’s statistical office.
In the last quarter of 2023, Finnish public debt rose by 2.3 percentage points compared to the same period of the previous year, reaching 210.5 billion euros, which is 75.8% of the country’s GDP.
