Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) is a geocode standard for referencing country subdivisions for statistical purposes. The NUTS standard is instrumental in delivering the European Union's Structural Funds. Each EU member state is hierarchically divided into three NUTS levels. The classification is reviewed at most every three years. The current classification is NUTS 2024, which became legally effective on January 1, 2024.
The NUTS code for Finland is FI. The three levels are:
Level Subdivisions # NUTS 1 Mainland Finland, Åland (; ) 2 NUTS 2 Large areas ( / ) 5 NUTS 3 Regions ( / ) 19
Below these three NUTS levels are the Local Administrative Unit (LAU) levels. In Finland, there are two LAU levels, which consist of the sub-regions, and the municipalities.
