The changing consumer in Finland
Article Abstract:
The economic depression in Finland between 1991-1994 significantly affected consumer behavior and the consumption pattern in the country. Unemployment rate during the depression years was reported at 17.7%. The banking crisis led to tight financial markets, increased real interest rates and high taxes, which cut down consumption expenditures. Consumers were constrained to spend, spending only on food and other necessary items. However, with the joining of Finland in the European Union, consumers are now more open to spending.
