We expand the balance sheet by including present value estimates of future fiscal flows; this allows us to perform fiscal stress tests and policy experiments. These analyses suggest that Finland's public finances will remain sound provided ongoing reform and consolidation efforts to address aging pressures are implemented as planned.
