Non-financial corporations' investments decreased further in the last quarter of 2013 and profit share of such businesses contracted slightly due to poor value added development, says the data derived from the Statistics Finland's quarterly sector accounts. 
 
Households' saving rate continued to grow in the last quarter. Adjusted disposable income describing households' economic well-being contracted somewhat in real terms from the corresponding quarter of last year.  
 
In the last quarter of 2013, the profit share of non-financial corporations, or the share of profits in value added, decreased by 0.5 percentage points to 22.6 per cent from the previous quarter.
 
The investment rate of non-financial corporations, or the proportion of investments in value added, fell by one-and-a-half percentage point to 19.5 per cent. 
 
The key figures were calculated from seasonally adjusted time series, according to Statistics Finland.
 
Households' saving rate was 1.9 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2013. In the previous quarter, the figure was 1.4 per cent.
