Industrial production in Finland rose by 0.8% year-on-year in August 2026, slowing from a slightly upwardly revised 4.6% gain in the previous month. This marked the softest growth in industrial activity since May, driven by a sharp 15.8% decline (vs -12.8% in July) in mining production. Output growth also softened in the manufacturing sector (0.3% vs 5.4%) as lower activity in printing and reproduction of recorded media (-13.2% vs -8.6%), chemical industry (-9.0% vs 0.8%), and manufacture of furniture (-17.5% vs -16.6%) outweighed increased output in the food industry (3.6% vs -1.2%) and textile, clothing and leather industry (2.3% vs -2.5%). On the other hand, production increased at a faster pace for electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply (7.5% vs 3.1%). On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, industrial activity decreased by 1.3% in August, slipping further from a 1.1% loss in the preceding period. source: Statistics Finland
