Finnvera's CEO, Pauli Heikkilä, states in a newspaper story that companies are still doing extremely well in Finland. Heikkiilä is amazed how international discussion and media's stories contradicts the actual situation of the companies. There are no problems acquiring financing and companies order volumes have remained the same. There is no unusual amounts of payment troubles or credit losses.
Heikkilä has heard from companies that the situation is mostly good or even exceptionally good. Finnish Finnvera provides financing for the start, growth and internationalisation of companies and guarantees against risks arising from exports. (Source, Talouselämä, Finnvera, 07.10.2011)
