      The past tense is in reference to the historical event, it doesn’t refer to the present state of Finland’s economy.

      If someone had a post titled: “How Trump caused a rift within liberalism in the US” the past tense would not imply that Trump no longer exists or that he is no longer a politician, it would simply be referring to the political rift as a historical event.
