Sector-specific publications
Sector Reports
The Sector Reports is an annually updated series of analytical reports on the economic situation and outlook in different sectors in Finland. The Sector Manager of each sector is responsible for compiling the report.
Sector Reports have been published since 1993. On this site Sector Reports are available from 2015 onwards. The reports are available in Finnish, with a description sheet in Swedish.
Sectors’ Economic Prospects and Overviews
Every autumn and spring the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment publishes reports on the present state and economic prospects of different sectors. The economic prospects reports also discuss different kinds of factors influencing the economic prospects of sectors as well as the roles the sectors play in Finnish economy. The overview reports, on the other hand, are brief topical reports on developments in the growth areas in each sector. They are compiled by the Sector Managers and experts.
The Sector Managers in the ELY Centres draw up the reports, which are then published in the Ministry’s newsletters and on this website.

The role of digitalisation in business activities has also been examined with topical questions.
