Finland: Economic growth competiveness index

The Growth Competitiveness Index (GCI), aims to quantify the quality of the macroeconomic environment, the state of a country’s public institutions, and its level of technological readiness.

Higher competitiveness scores are more desirable:

• Very High – 5.51 to 7
• High – 4.51 to 5.50
• Moderate – 3.51 to 4.50
• Low - 3.01 to 3.50
• Very Low – 0 to 3.00

Finland publishes good house price and rent statistics. The best source is Statistics Finland, though some longer time-series are in Finnish (asuntojen hintakehitys = dwelling price changes).

The Institute for Real Estate Economics has The Finnish Property Monthly, Quarterly and Annual reports. The Bank of Finland is a third good source (see statistics | prices and costs | domestic asset prices).
