A playground for a daycare center in Ylöjärvi has cost €705,000, roughly four and a half times the €150,000 originally estimated for the work. It is a sharp example of the budget creep currently affecting local projects, though few have missed their target by such a margin.
The national ice hockey federation says it will not play in the World Championship if Russia is allowed to compete. The stand has already cost the city of Turku its bid to host the junior championships, as the federation insists on a total boycott. Separately, police are investigating a court-room incident after a criminal report was filed over the shoving of lawyer Kari Uoti.
Remedy Entertainment reported that its revenue tripled to €39.6 million in the third quarter following the release of its latest game, Control Resonant. At the same time, the Ministry of Finance has suggested merging pension companies to save hundreds of millions of euros, an efficiency drive that would consolidate the sector significantly.
