Feelings of economic uncertainty are increasing among people in Finland, according to the results of a survey commissioned by lobby group Finance Finland (FFI).
Some 45 percent of respondents said they had postponed or entirely abandoned their investment plans due to an increase in prices, rising interest rates and the global political situation.
The examples of postponed purchases cited by respondents included the renovation of an apartment or the purchase of a new holiday home.
The younger age groups and women were more likely to respond that they had shelved their plans.
