kauppatilastoihin

Kauppatilastoihin is the illative plural form of kauppatilastot, a Finnish compound noun formed from kauppa (trade) and tilasto (statistic). In Finnish grammar, the illative case ends in -iin/-ihin and expresses movement toward or inclusion in something, so kauppatilastoihin means “to the trade statistics” or “into the trade statistics.” The form is used in texts to refer to data sets, sources, or analyses that rely on trade statistics.

In usage, kauppatilastoihin appears in academic, statistical, and policy contexts. It is common in sentences such as “tutkimus perustuu kauppatilastoihin” (the study is based on trade statistics) or “kauppatilastoihin viitataan tilastoissa” (reference is made to trade statistics in the statistics). The term emphasizes the data source or the dataset being consulted rather than the statistics as a standalone object.

Kauppatilastot cover measures related to foreign trade and commerce, including import and export values and volumes, trade balance, partner countries, and commodity breakdowns across different time periods. The data are typically produced and published by national statistical authorities and regional statistical offices, often with monthly, quarterly, and yearly releases. In Finland, Statistics Finland and related European statistical systems are common sources for kauppatilastoihin references in research and policy discussion.

Related terms include kauppatilastot (the base form), kauppatase (trade balance), and terms for specific trade data such as tuonti (imports) and vienti (exports). The form kauppatilastoihin is primarily a grammatical tool to indicate movement toward or reliance on these datasets within Finnish prose.
