Finnish Public Reports Declining Trust In Institutions

A February–March 2026 survey of 1,024 Finns by Verian for SuomiAreena and the Nordic Council finds 80% believe societal trust has weakened, with only 4% saying the United States increases global trust. Domestic institutions such as the Finnish Defence Forces (67%) and universities (75%) retain higher confidence, while Nordic cooperation is widely seen as stabilising. The margin of error is about 3.1 percentage points.
