A growing number of Finns are living without a necessary financial safety net, according to a recent survey by LähiTapiola. The survey, part of the "Arjen katsaus" report, reveals that 11% of respondents would face difficulties if confronted with an unexpected €100 expense. This figure represents a three-percentage-point increase from January 2023.
Hannu Nummiaro, an economist at LähiTapiola, highlights the vulnerability of many Finns, especially among the 25-50 age group, where more than one in ten have a credit default.
