Opportunities for Finland is a joint outlook of the Permanent Secretaries of the ministries on the key questions for the next two government terms. The document identifies the key challenges and reflects on possible directions for solutions. In the Permanent Secretaries' view, the governments in the next two parliamentary terms will face the following five interlinked challenges that will require decisions: (1) rapid progress must be made on the green transition, (2) general government finances must be balanced considerably, and (3) both of these must be achieved in a fair and egalitarian manner, (4) the conditions for economic growth must be strengthened, and (5) further measures must be taken to improve Finland's security and resilience to crisis.

With respect to economic policy, the key message of the document is that reforms aiming to improve the conditions for economic growth should be implemented quickly, as their effects take time to materialise. At the same time, the next government should begin working to balance general government finances. Efforts should be made to achieve a balance in general government finances over the next two parliamentary terms. Economic growth should not be sought at all costs; instead, investments should be made in the green transition. The document presents 15 main messages and possible directions for solutions to provide a basis for election discussions and government formation talks. The themes of the messages are closely intertwined and will therefore require simultaneous attention over the next two government terms.
