The gross domestic product of Finland expanded more rapidly in the latest month of reported data than in previous assessments. Statistics Finland announced that the GDP indicator for August rose 2.3% on a working-day-adjusted basis, up from the previous recording of 1.4%.

The figures, published Wednesday, provide a preliminary measure of the nation's annual growth rate. This specific indicator is adjusted for the number of working days in the month to ensure comparisons are not distorted by calendar effects.
