Finland’s external balance shifted firmly back into positive territory in March 2026, as the current account moved to a surplus of €0.30 billion, according to data updated on 13 May 2026. This marks a notable turnaround from February 2026, when the current account stood in deficit at -€0.20 billion.
The €0.50 billion month-on-month improvement suggests a strengthening in Finland’s external position after a temporary setback in February. While the specific drivers of the swing were not detailed, the move back into surplus may be seen by markets and policymakers as a constructive signal for the country’s trade and income flows heading into the spring of 2026.
