The past year has been far from ordinary. Low interest rates and inflation have been replaced by a historically fast rate-hiking cycle. So how did MuniFin’s funding look like over this extraordinary year – and what’s in store for 2024?

The final episode of 2023 in our Huomisen Talous (i.e., ”Tomorrow’s Economy”) podcast differs a little from our regular broadcasting and switches to English. MuniFin’s field covers the Finnish public sector, but our Funding team also works with a wide range of international partners and investors outside of Finland.

Chief Economist Timo Vesala sits down with Senior Funding Manager Karoliina Kajova and Funding Analyst Aaro Koski to discuss MuniFin’s issuances in 2023 and what the market looked like, as well as what are the plans for next year and the Finnish economy’s current outlook.
