Sweden vs. Finland
Comparing Economic Characteristics

The government owns one-third of their northern forest and timber is Finland's biggest export. They are a world leader in the pulp and paper market.

Both Finland and Sweden joined the EU (European Union) in 1994. Both countries have socialist governments. Both countries have very well-developed health care systems. Both countries spend approximately 8.8% of their GNP on health care costs.
