Talousarviossa

Talousarviossa is a Finnish adessive form meaning "in the budget." It is derived from talousarvio, the word for a budget or financial plan. The form talousarviossa is used in written and spoken Finnish to refer to items, measures, or decisions that are included within a budget document, or to describe funding decisions that are planned to be implemented under that budget.

In public administration, talousarvio refers to the annual financial plan of the state, and municipalities prepare their own talousarviot. The phrase talousarviossa is frequently used in official texts and parliamentary debates to indicate that a policy or measure has funding approved in the budget, or that its costs will be covered by specific appropriations. A budget typically outlines projected revenues and expenditures across sectors such as health, education, transport, and social services, with certain programs earmarked by corresponding budget lines.

Typical usage examples emphasize the funding context, such as: "Talousarviossa on varattu lisäresursseja terveydenhuoltoon" (The budget includes additional resources for health care). The term is also used to discuss changes in allocations, and to distinguish measures funded within the budget from those proposed outside it, such as externally funded programs or temporary grants. In Finland, the annual talousarvio process is central to fiscal policy and accountability, and talousarviossa serves as a reference point for legislative decisions and public reporting.
