ANNUAL REPORT 2011
The Western European economy is in a recession, and the debt crisis continues. The economy on the whole is expected to decline slightly in the coming year. The Finnish technology industry predicts less than a two percent growth in exports, though is still on the alert for the
continuation of the European debt crisis which can make the loss of confidence spread elsewhere in the world. Global economic growth is still dependent on developing Asian economies although the situation in Europe is having an effect on them as well.
The level of Finnish exports has suffered a significant drop, which is feared to be permanent. This is an exceptional situation, as in the past after an economic downturn exports have always returned to their former level and begun to climb. Approximately half of the drop has occurred in the electronics industry and a third in the machine and metal industries. Within the countries Finland is competing with, exports exceeded pre-crises levels during autumn 2011. There is a risk of Finnish industry loosing its competitive edge. It would seem there is not a sufficient capacity for exports to return to their previous level. Only competitive businesses in Finland can succeed, invest and employ.
The corporate revenue of electronics and electrotechnical industries in Finland, including telecommunications equipment, electrical machinery and instruments, decreased by approximately 10 % during 2011 and was 17 billion. A challenging situation in the telecom-munications industry made the volume of new orders decline further throughout the entire electronics and electrotechnical industries. Therefore, the turnover for companies in these sectors is expected to remain at a low level.
It is important to protect Finnish companies’ ability to maintain and improve productivity and competitiveness. Standardization and standards are important development tools, which allow access to the global markets. Competitive enterprises are able to send knowl-edgeable experts from Finland to prepare international standards. It is essential to ensure that the existing resources of expertise are maintained and that there will be new and adequate generations of experts.
