Industrial production in Finland rose by 2% year-on-year in December 2025, accelerating from a downwardly revised 1.7% increase in the previous month. This marked the third consecutive month of growth in industrial activity, driven by a sharp recovery in the output for mining and quarrying (7.6% vs -5% in November). Additionally, growth in the manufacturing sector rose further (3.1% vs 1.6%), with significant output increases for transport equipment (29% vs 8.6%) and other non-metallic mineral products (20.7% vs 6.1%). On the other hand, output for electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning supply declined by 3.8%, slipping from a 1.3% growth in the prior month. On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, industrial output decreased by 0.8% in December, marking the first month of contraction in five months and reversing a 0.2% gain in the preceding period.
