International investors underestimate the deepening anti-euro mood in Finland that risks producing a government opposed to measures needed to quell the euro area’s fiscal crisis, a top Finnish civil servant said.
Martti Salmi, a European policy adviser in the Finance Ministry, said the region “should not take for granted” Finnish support for crisis-fighting tools. The latest poll before Finland’s April 17 election showed combined 47.3 percent support for parties against a bailout for Portugal and a reinforcement of the temporary aid mechanism, he said.
