Finland has donated CHF620,000 (EUR375,000) to the Doha Development Agenda Global Trust Fund (DDAGTF). Since 2000, Finland's contributions have reached CHF4.9 million.

WTO Director General Pascal Lamy declared “I welcome this donation which illustrates Finland's commitment to help least developed countries integrate in the global economy and take better advantage of the multilateral trading system.”
Finland's Ambassador, Vesa Himanen, stated “Finland has continuously contributed to efforts in assisting least developed countries to improve their trading and economic activities. This contribution is a concrete expression of Finland's work for poverty reduction.”
