According to the National Audit Office of Finland (VTT), Matias Marttinen, the Minister of Labour, was the most lobbyed public figure in the Finnish government last year, followed closely by Environment and Climate Minister Sari Multala, and Minister of Economic Affairs Sakari Puisto. The report outlines that the most lobbied organization was the Finnish Parliament, with the top three lobbying ministries including the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Ministry of Employment and the Economy, and the Ministry of Finance. The findings are derived from a transparency register that tracks lobbying activities aimed at the state administration.

The report highlights that one of the most notably lobbied initiatives for the upcoming year 2025 appears to be new land use legislation, which garnered considerable mention in the register. Ines Gullichsen, an overseer at the VTT, indicated that the project, with Sari Multala as the responsible minister, is expected to play a significant role in the government's agenda. This reform of land use legislation aligns with the broader objectives of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo's administration, focusing on improving governance and regulation in land management.

As lobbying becomes increasingly scrutinized in Finland, the data provided by the VTT serves as a crucial insight into the influences and pressures faced by government officials. This transparency not only informs the public and other stakeholders about the lobbying landscape but also raises vital questions about the impact of such lobbying on policy-making processes and the integrity of governmental institutions.
