  29. Local government consolidation clearly slows down growth in public debt • General government has accumulated an excessive structural deficit. • The debt ratio will not be brought down to 60% without additional measures. • Local government consolidation measures decided in the government’s structural program • will balance the municipal finances and bring the general government structural deficit close to the target level. • will reduce the risk of over-indebtedness, but the debt ratio will remain above 60%.

  32. Structural reforms essential to close the fiscal sustainability gap • If all the planned structural policy measures will be applied in practice, they would be sufficient to close the sustainability gap. • Determined progress is necessary to achieve the objectives of the government’s structural policy programme. • Pension reform is essential. • Finland’s ability to make decisions is crucially important.

Macroprudential tools to be introduced in Finland • The need for national macroprudential tools is more compelling within monetary union • special challenge: country-specific housing market risks • Systemic risks have to be addressed by several tools: • countercyclical capital buffer (excessive lending growth) • loan-to-value limit (housing market risks) • capital buffer for systemically important banks and systemic risk buffer (concentrated banking sector) Governor Erkki Liikanen
