Finland's economy seems to be regaining strength after four difficult years, with Statistics Finland revealing on Friday the best quarterly growth figure since 2011. In the first three months of the year, the troubled eurozone country's gross domestic product grew at 0.6 percent from the previous quarter and at 1.6 percent compared to the previous year, the national statistics institute said.
"Three causes of joy: strongest growth since 2011, still potential for growth in exports and eurozone (growth figure) overtaken," economist Juhana Brotherus, of Hypo bank, tweeted, comparing Finland's year-on-year growth at 1.58 percent to the eurozone average at 1.53 percent.
