According to Finland's transparency registry maintained by the National Audit Office, Minister Matias Marttinen has been recognized as the most lobbied minister of 2025, receiving a total of 931 mentions.

The statistics reflect not only the individual popularity of the ministers among lobbyists but also highlight significant legislative initiatives that have attracted attention.

In addition to highlighting the most lobbied ministers, the report also indicates that the Parliament emerged as the most lobbied organization, reflecting the significant influence of various pressure groups on legislative processes in Finland. This insight suggests a growing need for public awareness regarding lobbying activities and their impact on policy-making.
