Esko Antola lecture at Europe Forum Turku on 30 August 2019
In his speech at the 2018 Europe Forum Turku, Bank of Finland Governor Olli Rehn highlighted the importance of Professor Esko Antola for European discourse in Finland and proposed that an annual lecture be held in his honour.

Det är inte läge att skjuta upp lösningarna för Finlands offentliga finanser19.12.2025 11:00:00 EET | Pressmeddelande
Finlands offentliga finanser befinner sig alltjämt långt från balans. För att vända skuldsättningsutvecklingen krävs en betydande konsolidering av de offentliga finanserna och investeringar i tillväxt. Höjningen av de nödvändiga försvarsutgifterna försvårar den offentligfinansiella konsolideringen. Inflationen i euroområdet ligger på målet och ekonomin har vuxit något snabbare än förutsett.
Suomen julkisen talouden ratkaisuja ei kannata lykätä19.12.2025 11:00:00 EET | Tiedote
Suomen julkinen talous on edelleen kaukana tasapainosta. Velkaantumiskehityksen kääntäminen vaatii merkittävää julkisen talouden sopeuttamista ja investointeja kasvuun. Välttämättömien puolustusmenojen kasvattaminen vaikeuttaa tasapainottamista. Euroalueella inflaatio on tavoitteessa ja talous on kasvanut hieman ennustettua paremmin.
