Answer:

Finland has a free-market economy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Finland is a market economy. A market economy is characterized by free private initiative and little intentionality. The government acts more as a regulator. A market economy is usually obsessed with developed nations, where economic indicators such as GDP and GDP per capita are considered good, such as Finland.
