According to a forecast by the Finnish Ministry of Finance, global economic growth is set to continue on a wide front. The Ministry of Finance says that strong growth in the euro area is continuing, confidence is high and investments are now almost at the same level as before the financial crisis.
Finland's economic growth has been improving for a couple of years now. The Ministry of Finance forecasts that the Finnish GDP will grow by 2.6 per cent in 2018 and 2.2 per cent in 2019.
According to the Bank of Finland, the key European Central Bank interest rates have been exceptionally low for a long time. The moderate rise in long-term rates continued in the first quarter of 2018, driven by the strong outlook for growth.
According to the Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries RT (CFCI), the number of building permits granted for apartments has ceased to grow during recent months in the largest cities.
Construction costs CFCI projects that construction costs will increase by 2.5 per cent in 2018.
Apartment prices According to a forecast by Pellervo Economic Research (PTT), apartment prices have diverged considerably not only between regions but also between differentsized apartments. Demand is still strongest for small apartments in growth centres.
According to preliminary data, the rents of privately financed apartments rose by 1.8 per cent in 2017. Compared to the year before, increase in rents slowed. PTT forecasts that the rents of new and existing privately financed apartments will rise by 2.1 per cent in 2018.
