Corporate finance in Finland and elsewhere in the euro area is highly bankcentred. In Finland, particularly large non-financial corporations have recently acquired financing via bond issues, and growth in the stock of bank loans to nonfinancial corporations has come to a halt. Financing conditions of small and medium-sized enterprises have weakened to some extent, but are better than in the euro area on average.
