Finland — The forecast pointed steadily upwards in Finland during the autumn. But now the real estate agent Sb-Hem's managing director Jukka Rantanen believes that the labor market conflict, the disagreement between the government and the unions and the ongoing strikes are slowing down the recovery of the housing trade in Finland.<br /> "The recovery in the housing market is delayed by the weakening of consumer confidence and the weakening of employment due to the conflict in the labor market," says Jukka Rantanen to Nordic Property News.
