HELSINKI, June 27 (Xinhua) -- The Finnish economy is projected to grow at an annual rate of 1.1 percent over the next 20 years, according to a review published by the business think tank ETLA Economic Research on Tuesday.

"Such a long-term forecast will undoubtedly present developments that we cannot yet see in 2023. Based on the current view, however, growth will continue to be frustratingly slow," said Sakari Lahdemaki, a researcher at ETLA.
