The government plans to finance its investment program using listed assets and the State Pension Fund. [^3]

The government plans to investigate creating a Finnish model where returns on investments made in young growth companies can be reinvested into new startups without intermediate taxation. [^4]

The government plans to present a proposal to the parliament to reform the entrepreneur pension law according to the choice freedom model agreed upon in the framework budget meeting. [^5]

Finland's Prime Minister Petteri Orpo rejected Lindtman's characterization, saying that cancelling the tax cuts while Finland's economy and investments are growing would be "the worst poison" and would kill economic growth. [^6]

Minja Koskela, chair of Finland's Left Alliance, said on X that the government has net adjusted public finances by only 2.8 billion euros when tax cuts and spending increases are counted, contradicting Orpo's claims of ten billion euros in adjustments. [^7]

Next year's Finnish state budget will have a deficit of about 12.4 billion euros, according to the article. [^8]
