Declining trust in Finnish consumer financial trends and Swedish pension concerns systems

Recent research highlights various financial challenges and attitudes among the Finnish population. A study by Iro Research for Bigbank found that 29% of Finns do not save money regularly, with many savers keeping funds in low-interest checking accounts due to misconceptions or fear of restrictions. Further data from the Confederation of Finnish Industries (EVA) indicates growing pessimism regarding the national pension system. A significant generational divide exists, as 62% of respondents aged 26–35 believe the system will collapse, compared to only 29% of those aged 56–65. In response to these concerns, there is varying support for reforms, including raising the retirement age and implementing pension caps. Newer data shows that 47% of the total Finnish population now fears a system collapse, with the generational gap remaining stark: 62% of those aged 26–35 share this fear, while only 19% of individuals over 65 express similar concerns. This decline in trust is mirrored in Sweden, where a survey by LO indicates that 65% of citizens have little confidence in their pension system and 73% worry their pensions will be insufficient.
