Etla: Finland faces trade risk from reliance on China imports

Finland faces rising exposure to global trade disruption due to heavy reliance on imports from China, with lithium-ion batteries identified as a key point of concern, according to a new report published on Monday. The Research Institute of the Finnish Economy said nearly 38 per cent of Finland’s imports classified as vulnerable came from China in 2024. The study forms part of a wider Nordic comparison examining how supply chains respond to geopolitical shifts and trade barriers.
