	Press Information Notice: IMF Concludes Article IV Consultation with Finland
		The moderate wage settlements of the Fall of 1995, fiscal consolidation, and the weakening of aggregate demand in 1995 led the Bank of Finland to relax the monetary stance as of the last quarter of 1995.
		This relaxation was well accepted by financial markets: the markka remained broadly stable against the ECU and the differential between Finnish and German long-term interest rates fell to a historical low.
		Directors welcomed the entry of the markka into the ERM, and were of the view that the parity at which the markka had entered the ERM appeared broadly in line with macroeconomic fundamentals.

		Currency swap is a deal where a fixed amount of markkas are traded for dollars today, with the agreement that the deal will be exactly reversed at a specified time in future.
