Taloussuunnitelmassa

Taloussuunnitelmassa is a Finnish term meaning “in the financial plan” or “in the budget plan.” It is the inessive form of taloussuunnitelma, a compound of talous (finance) and suunnitelma (plan). The phrase is used in official and administrative language to refer to content contained within a budget or financial plan.

The term appears in documents and statements related to how an organization—such as a municipality, government body, or company—allocates and manages its financial resources for a defined period. It often concerns the distribution of funds, estimates of revenue and expenditures, investments, and the prioritization of services or projects. A typical usage would be a sentence like: “Taloussuunnitelmassa esitetään investointien kohdentaminen sekä palvelujen rahoitus vuosille 2025–2027.”

Grammar and usage: taloussuunnitelmassa denotes the position inside the plan (inessive case). The base form is taloussuunnitelma; other cases yield taloussuunnitelman (genitive), taloussuunnitelmalle (allative), etc. The plural form is taloussuunnitelmissa and follows standard Finnish noun declension patterns for compound nouns.

Relation to related terms: the concept is closely linked to talousarvio (the annual budget or financial estimate) and budjetti, which are often used in similar contexts. In public administration, taloussuunnitelma may refer to a longer-term financial framework beyond a single fiscal year, whereas talousarvio typically governs a specific year’s funding and spending.
