On Friday, the Helsinki Stock Exchange experienced an increase of over 0.2 percent in its price index.

Despite this setback, the general index of the Helsinki Stock Exchange remained up by more than 0.2 percent, hovering close to 10,000 points by midday on Friday.
One standout performer on the exchange was Nokia, whose share price increased by over one percent after the announcement that it would acquire the US semiconductor company Infinera for $2.3 billion.
