Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Finland's economic problems are different. Firstly Finland has a triple A+ rating, so it can borrow quite a lot. But secondly there is a range of industries that face radical technology-driven changes in market demand on top of falls in demand due to declining economies - paper for one. The paper industry is not a big employer though.

The main employment problem is in the construction and renovation business, and I think money will be borrowed to ensure they continue at some survivable level - especially for infrastructure projects that will pay off eventually.
