Finland's government won a confidence vote in Parliament on Wednesday afternoon by 106 votes to 75, with 18 MPs absent.
All MPs voted along either government party or opposition party lines.
The motion of no confidence had been tabled by the opposition National Coalition, Christian Democrats and Movement Now parties over the government's economic and employment policies.
In the interlocutory question, the opposition parties charged that the government is incapable of making decisions to stabilise the economy or to raise employment rates, citing the government's protracted budget negotiations in April and the postponement of difficult employment decisions until the autumn.

Wednesday's vote followed an interpellation debate on Tuesday, during which the government parties justified its economic policies as aimed at driving the country's recovery from the coronavirus crisis.
The opposition Finns Party tabled a separate no-confidence motion on Tuesday and therefore did not participate in the interpellation debate. The party's MPs did vote against the government during Wednesday's session.
