Finnish consumer confidence shows slight improvement, yet fewer eyeing property purchases

Finnish consumer confidence saw a modest increase in January, with individuals expressing more optimistic views about their personal financial situations and the broader Finnish economy compared to both the previous month and the same period last year. Despite this uptick in optimism, consumers' current assessment of their personal financial situation remained largely pessimistic. However, their outlook for their personal finances a year from now brightened, even as their expectations for the Finnish economy remained somewhat gloomy.
