The rate of inflation in Finland stood at 0.5 percent in March 2025 when compared to the same month last year, according to Statistics Finland.
The modest increase in consumer prices was driven primarily by rising general hospital fees, maintenance charges and the price of coffee.
At the same time, price growth was restrained by falling interest rates on housing loans, lower electricity prices and decreased interest on consumer credit.
Month-on-month, consumer prices remained unchanged, with a 0.0 percent shift from February to March.
Finland's rate of inflation dropped to 0.5 percent in February, representing the lowest level since December 2020.
