Chief Economist Tuuli Koivu: Western countries have recovered to pre-crisis production levels At the opening morning Nordea’s Chief Economist Tuuli Koivu shared an overview of the future economic outlook. - Western countries, such as Finland, have rapidly recovered to pre-corona crisis production levels, thanks to vaccines. At the same time, economies have entered a new phase, with bottlenecks in the labour market and in international production chains as new growth fuels. This has increased the expenses for companies and future inflation must be closely monitored, even though the biggest risks in the coming months are still related to possible viral mutations, says Chief Economist Tuuli Koivu. The program of the fair can also be followed in part online. For example, a theme discussion” Business from Data - intelligently, safely and productively”, led by Harri Junttila, the Editor-in-Chief of Tekniikka & Talous magazine.
