On Independence Day, we take a moment to reflect on the core strengths of Finland: trust, a strong sense of community, and a shared commitment to building a secure future.

At the State Treasury, we play our part in ensuring that society functions under all circumstances. We support those who contribute to Finland’s safety — such as conscripts, crisis management personnel, and government employees — by providing financial security during or as a result of their service.

We also care for those who carried responsibility before us. Benefits for veterans and war invalids are a tangible way of honoring those whose work and sacrifices laid the foundation for Finland’s independence.

On Independence Day, we are proud of everyone who has served and made sacrifices for Finland’s independence, and of those who strengthen and safeguard our society every day. Our shared work continues to ensure that Finland remains resilient and secure for all of us.
