New figures suggest people in Helsinki are far more optimistic about the economy than residents in eastern and northern Finland. Hero image suggestion: a city street scene in Helsinki.

Where people live appears to shape how they view Finland's economy, according to new figures reported by Yle News. The strongest consumer confidence is found in Helsinki, while the weakest is in eastern and northern parts of the country.

The numbers point to a clear regional divide in economic optimism, even as the broader picture remains unchanged in the brief report. Yle News did not provide further details on the size of the gap or what may be driving the difference.
