Agenda for Sustainable Growth
Sustainable growth is a requirement for wellbeing in Finland, and one for which the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment creates opportunities.
The Agenda for Sustainable Growth represents Finland’s growth policy over a long horizon extending beyond individual government terms. Public officials carrying out preparatory work will be able to draw upon this agenda to raise proposals relevant to current political decision-making, with the agenda helping to ensure coherence in policy.
The objective is to extensively share and develop a common understanding of the significance and mechanisms of economic growth and the administrative and policy tools available to influence it.
