Newspaper Helsingin Sanomat covered the significant decrease in Finnish purchasing power in the past few years.
While many in Finland might be smiling that their paychecks are getting bigger, HS wrote that the flipside of that has been prices increasing faster than wages.
Since 2020, consumer prices in Finland have risen by 18.6 percent, compared to Statistics Finland's median salary figures showing an increase of around 10 percent between January 2020 and January 2024.
In December, the Taxpayers Association of Finland (TAF), an interest group, highlighted that 2023 was the third consecutive year in which the purchasing power of salary earners fell.
However, in the light of current forecasts, purchasing power is set to pick up this year as a result of a reduction in payroll taxes and a rise in real wages, HS pointed out.
According to TAF's estimates, these will boost the purchasing power of average earners by a total of 2.3 percent in 2024. But this will only correct last year's decline in purchasing power, not the other years preceding it.
Sweden buys Patria 6X6s
Business daily Kauppalehti reported that Sweden will buy more than 300 armoured vehicles from Finnish defence contractor Patria.
Under the contract, the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) will purchase a total of 321 six-wheeled armoured vehicles from the Finnish defence firm.
The contract is worth approximately 470 million euros and is one of Patria's largest ever in Sweden.
"Sweden is an increasingly important market for us and we are pleased to support the Swedish Defence Forces during their significant expansion. We are confident that we will be able to deliver quickly, as we have done in the past," Patria's Head of Nordic Market Area, Mats Warstedt, said in a press release.
The Patria 6x6 vehicle was selected as the platform for a joint Common Armoured Vehicle System (CAVS) cooperation programme between several European countries, in which Finland, Latvia, Sweden and Germany are already participating.
Not quite old enough for a summer job
If you feel you're unqualified for the job you're applying to, tabloid Iltalehti has a story you can relate to.
The Helsinki and Uusimaa Hospital District (HUS) received an application for a radiologist from nine-year-old Mio.
In his handwritten cover letter, Mio said he saw the job advertisement on the bus.
"I'm nice. I want to help people and see their bones at the same time," Mio explained in the letter.
Siiri Koutola, a Human Resources Specialist at HUS, told IL by email that Mio's application letter arrived electronically, as a photo of the letter was sent to the recruitment email.
"We appreciate the self-initiative, motivation and desire to help conveyed in the application," Koutola wrote.
While Mio might be too young for a summer job at HUS, arrangements are being made to give him a tour of the radiology department.

Radome Market is estimated at USD 1.7 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 3.3 billion by 2026
The global radome market is estimated at USD 1.7 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 3.3 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 15.0% from 2021 to 2026. The radome market is growing at a significant rate across the world, and a similar trend is expected to be observed during the forecast period. The Advancements in composite materials technology for Radome structure, focus on development of compact radome for UAV platforms, demand for technologically advanced radome systems for next-generation aircraft and significance of radomes in warfare are fueling the growth of the radome market.
The radome market is being driven by the increased adoption of advanced military UAV systems to gain an advantage over enemy forces and the increasing defense expenditure of various countries. Industry players are undertaking R&D activities that focus on improving the capability of these radomes to perform in all-weather conditions and provide support in commercial as well as defense operations, such as long-range surveillance, search & rescue, navigation, and communications, among others.
Download Pdf Brochure: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/pdfdownloadNew.asp?id=157460281
Based on material, glass fiber is projected to lead radome market by material from 2021 to 2026.
Development and procurement of modern aircraft systems, such as targeting and surveillance systems and communication systems, for various applications is driving the demand for radome market globally. The surface of the fiberglass radome is reinforced with additives to enhance the adhesion between them so that the surface paint will not fall off, wrinkle and maintain its color even in severe weather. This also offers excellent electrical insulation and permeability.
Based on application, the radar segment will register the highest growth from 2021 to 2026.
A radome is often used to prevent ice and freezing rain from accumulating on antennas. In the case of a spinning radar parabolic antenna, the radome also protects the antenna from debris and rotational irregularities due to wind. In November 2020, Meggitt PLC secured a pioneering radome contract with BAE Systems to enable advanced radar technology for the Royal Air Force Typhoon fighter jet.
Based on Platform, naval segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Upgrades in communication, navigation, and surveillance systems have helped modernize the maritime industry at a significant pace. An increase in automation, modernization of ships, upcoming autonomous technology, and the increase in unmanned marine vehicles are expected to drive the radome market of the naval platform. The naval platform comprises commercial vessels, military vessels, and unmanned marine vehicles. In January 2021, Saab and the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) signed two agreements with the Swedish navy concerning the next generation of surface ships and corvettes.
Based on region, North America is projected to lead the radome market from 2021 to 2026.
Significant investments in R&D activities for the development of advanced radome solutions by key players and increased demand for advanced radome systems are some of the factors expected to fuel the growth of the radome market in this region. The US is expected to drive the growth of the North American radome market during the forecast period, owing to easy access to various innovative technologies and significant investments being made by manufacturers in the country for the development of improved military ISR and communication & monitoring systems. Several developments have taken place in the field of radome systems in the region. For instance, in January 2020, Telephonics Corporation (US) successfully developed and tested its MOSAIC Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) surveillance radar system which requires technologically advanced solid laminate radomes with the US Navy’s MH-60S helicopter. The MOSAIC AESA surveillance radar is capable of performing continuous scheduled Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) imaging tasks while simultaneously conducting surveillance, detection, and tracking operations.
