What the numbers say
In 2025, Finland's discrepancy in expenditure estimate of GDP (current LCU) fell 160 million on 2024 (from 161 million to 1 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +19.43 million and a typical year strayed about 349.3 million from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 958 million in 2001 and the biggest yearly fall was 683.03 million in 1977. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 59.86 million a year. A straight line explains 52% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Although the SNA ensures there is perfect consistency between the three measures of GDP, this is a conceptual consistency that in general does not emerge naturally from data compilations. This is because of the wide disparity of data sources that must be called on and the fact that any error in any source will lead to a difference between at least two of the GDP measures. In practice it is inevitable that many such data errors will exist and will become apparent in exercises such as the balancing of supply and use tables. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
