FX.co ★ Finnish Import Price Declines Ease in February, Signaling Slight Moderation in Cost Pressures

Finland’s import prices continued to fall in February 2026, but at a slightly slower pace than a month earlier, indicating a modest easing in downward pressure on imported costs. The Import Price Index stood at -2.1% year-over-year for February, compared with a -2.4% annual decline recorded in January 2026.

The data, updated on 24 March 2026, show that while import prices remain lower than a year earlier, the rate of decline has narrowed. Both readings are calculated on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s prices to the same month of the previous year. This shift suggests that the deflationary impulse from imported goods, although still present, may be gradually diminishing as 2026 progresses.
