The government survived a confidence vote in parliament on Friday with 85 MPs expressing support for the government and 72 saying they had no confidence in it.
Forty-two MPs missed the vote but there were no abstentions.
The vote was called by opposition parties over the government's handling of the economy and an increase in state debt.
The National Coalition Party, the Christian Democrats and Movement Now had backed the confidence motion, with the Finns Party not signing on to the interpellation measure, but proposing a different confidence motion.
MPs first voted on which confidence motion to vote on, picking the Finns Party's version.
"We will have to take on new debt to make the interest payments," said NCP leader Petteri Orpo, who was the first name on the opposition parties' interpellation proposal, during the debate on Wednesday.
"Services in the welfare society cannot be safeguarded if we do not stop the increase in debt," Orpo said.
Finns Party parliamentary group leader, Lulu Ranne, said that her party had not joined the other opposition parties' motion because they viewed the NCP's priorities as being too similar to the government's.
The government had answered its critics by pointing to the Covid pandemic and Russia's war on Ukraine as causes of unexpected new spending.
Finance Minister Annika Saarikko (Cen) said that the motion could have just as easily been presented to each of the last six governments, as state debt has been increasing for a long time.
