A recent survey conducted by the Confederation of Finnish Industries (Elinkeinoelämän valtuuskunta, EVA) has unveiled significant shifts in Finnish attitudes towards foreign policy. According to the survey, 64 percent of Finns believe that Finland should prioritize cooperation with Nordic countries more prominently in its foreign policy decisions. Furthermore, 53 percent expressed a desire for increased collaboration with Baltic nations.

According to a study conducted by the Finnish Business and Policy Forum (EVA), over half of Finns consider Finland's geographical location, proximity to Russia, cost of living, and taxation as barriers to immigration. The findings were derived from EVA's Values and Attitudes Study, which presented a list of 26 factors that could either attract or hinder immigration to the country. From the perspective of policymakers, issues that can be influenced through policy measures are of greater interest than Finland's geographical location and weather conditions.
