According to Statistics Finland’s revised preliminary data, Finland's gross domestic product contracted by 8.2 per cent in 2009. According to the previously released preliminary data, the decrease was 8.0 per cent. Gross domestic product decreased from what was previously estimated, because Statistics Finland has obtained new data on the finances of municipalities and on the performances of education, social and health services produced by local and central government.
