The weakness in Finland’s construction industry predates the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, although the industry did suffer disruptions owing to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns. Construction output contracted by 0.6% in real terms in 2020 in Finland - compared to growth of 0.6% in 2019 - as the government's restrictions to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus outbreak had a negative impact on industry’s growth in the second half of 2020, which continued in the first two quarters of this year
The publisher expects the industry to fare relatively better during the remaining part of 2021, but still contract by 0.4% for the year. Over the remaining part of this year, growth will be driven by the continued opening up of the economy, following the improvement in COVID-19 infections, as well as the government's focus on improving the country's transportation and energy infrastructure. The government’s earlier plans to spend EUR2.8 billion (US$3.2 billion) annually on the maintenance and modernization of transport infrastructure during the period of 2018-2021 is expected to drive growth, as the plan comes to an end this year, and the remaining funding is likely to be utilized over the rest of the year.
Over the remainder of the forecast period (2022-2025), the sector is expected to increase at an annual rate of 1.8%. The government's focus on developing the country's transportation infrastructure, as well as its aim to phase out coal-based power plants by 2029 and to become a carbon-neutral country by 2035, will help the industry to register growth between 2022-2025. The government's efforts to build affordable housing and develop healthcare and education infrastructure are also projected to stimulate industrial growth over the forecast period.
