Finland's GDP will grow 1.7% this year, up from 0.7%, as exports and investment accelerate, the central bank said Tuesday morning. The upward revision follows years of stagnation driven by domestic austerity and Russia's war in Ukraine following its invasion. The growth revival promises to push the country's double-digit unemployment down toward 9.0% by 2028, boosting broader economic recovery.
