Internationally significant efforts have been made in recent years to statistically describe the economic scale of digitization and its different areas, and different countries have started to publish their results from this work. Finland and Sweden have also prepared their own experimental statistics on the digital economy. It’s time to make a small comparison of the key results of the countries.
The comparison uses data produced according to the definitions of the supply and use tables of the digital economy of the OECD. The data on Finland’s digital economy are from the statistical year 2018 and Sweden’s from 2017. However, this should not be a big problem, as the structures of the digital economy are unlikely to change very significantly in one year.
