Finland is a country rich in natural resources, such as minerals, fresh water and forests. In addition to these resources, the Finnish economy consists of hi-tech manufacturing, paper factories and heavy machinery. Finland is very dependent on the global economy as one-third of the GDP comes from foreign trade. Its largest trade partners are Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. Overall, about 60% of trade comes from within the EU. Finland is the only Nordic country using the Euro as its currency.
