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:
