Goals and results
The Productivity Board is tasked with monitoring the development of productivity, competitiveness, income, and production costs in the Finnish economy and regularly producing relevant monitoring reports. It also provides independent assessments of the short- and long-term trends in productivity, competitiveness, income, and production costs. Additionally, the Board prepares and publishes two reports on its findings during its term, makes recommendations for policy measures aimed at enhancing productivity and competitiveness, and engages in discussions and information exchange with productivity boards from other Member States and the European Union's Economic Policy Committee.
Starting points
On 27 June 2018, the Government issued Decree 525/2018, establishing an independent Productivity Board in Finland. On 3 June 2021, the Government issued Decree 458/2021, which expanded the duties of the Productivity Board and increased the number of its members. Decree 314/2024, which entered into force on 1 September 2024, extended the Board's term of office to four years and clarified the number of its members.
The Board comprises a chairperson and up to seven other members, appointed by the Government on the recommendation of the Ministry of Finance for a term of four years.
According to the decree, members must possess experience in evaluating productivity and competitiveness.
