Ennusteissaan

Ennusteissaan is a Finnish phrase meaning “in their forecast” or “in their projections.” It is used to attribute a forecast to a particular actor or group, indicating that the following claims or numbers come from that source.

Form and etymology: The expression is built from ennuste (forecast) with the inessive suffix -ssa/-ssä and a possessive ending that marks the referent (their). The result is a compact way to refer to the content of a forecast as produced by someone, without repeating the subject.

Usage: Ennusteissaan appears most often in journalism, economics, and policy analyses when discussing forecasts issued by organizations, governments, companies, or analysts. It helps distinguish the source of the forecast and frames the discussion around that source’s expectations rather than objective outcomes. The tone is generally neutral, though the surrounding context may imply evaluation or critique of the forecast.

Nuance: The phrase emphasizes the origin and authority of the forecast, sometimes inviting comparison with other forecasts or with actual developments. It is a descriptive, not inherently evaluative, construction, but it is commonly used in analyses that assess accuracy, bias, or assumptions behind a forecast.

Example: Keskustelussa viitattiin yrityksen ennusteisiin ja sen ennusteissaan esittämän kasvun arviot olivat ristiriidassa toteutuneen kehityksen kanssa.
