Other European countries have stock-market indices, like the FTSE or CAC 40, but in Finland all you need to do is look at now Nokia is doing.
At one point it accounted for two-thirds of the value of the Finnish stockmarket and was vaued at over 300Billion dollars. Despite the fact that John the Finn says they are 'famously stingy iit is a fact that 35 of the 50 wealiest people in the country made their money from Nokia. In addition 25% plus of the whole R & D budget of the country is their hands.
All this has led to Finland being one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world with very high levels of Mobile phone ownership and internet access. Nordic efficiency at it's best.
