In addition to specific independent think tanks, the largest political parties have their own think tank organizations. This is mainly due to support granted by state for such activity. Examples of such think tanks are the {{ill|Green Think Tank Visio|fi|Vihreä Svistysliitto#Ajatuspaja_Visio}}<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ajatuspaja Visio |url=https://ajatuspajavisio.fi/in-english/ |access-date=23 September 2024}}</ref> and [[Suomen Perusta]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tamminen |first=Jenni |title=Perussuomalaiset aloitti jättiselvityksen |url=https://www.uusisuomi.fi/uutiset/perussuomalaiset-aloitti-jattiselvityksen/9a50bcce-4224-325d-8150-e6cc96d52a43 |website=Uusi Suomi |date=28 October 2012 |access-date=14 May 2021 |archive-date=14 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210514112950/https://www.uusisuomi.fi/uutiset/perussuomalaiset-aloitti-jattiselvityksen/9a50bcce-4224-325d-8150-e6cc96d52a43 |url-status=live }}</ref> The corporate world has focused their efforts to central representative organization [[Confederation of Finnish Industries]], which acts as think tank in addition to negotiating salaries with workers unions. Furthermore, there is the Finnish Business and Policy Forum (''Elinkeinoelämän valtuuskunta'', EVA). Agricultural and regional interests, associated with The Central Union of Agricultural Producers and Forest Owners (''Maa- ja metsätaloustuottajain Keskusliitto'', MTK) and the [[Centre Party (Finland)|Centre Party]], are researched by Pellervo Economic Research (''Pellervon taloustutkimus'', PTT). The [[Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions]] (''Suomen Ammattiliittojen Keskusjärjestö'', SAK) and the [[Social Democratic Party of Finland|Social Democratic Party]] are associated with the Labour Institute for Economic Research (''Palkansaajien tutkimuslaitos'', PT). Each of these organizations often release forecasts concerning the national economy.
