According to Wikipedia...

Finland 187,888

And according to Centre for Ecology & Hydrology the UK has 40,000.

I found your source and it only takes into account lakes over a certain size. Perhaps consider adding a caveat with your source and their criteria, just to save confusion.

Yes, I can confirm the fact about Finland. They calculated the amount of lakes twice in the 80s with certain size criteria and got count 187 888, as you said. So, the size criteria is crucial.

We have in Finnish word "järvi" for bigger lakes and "lampi" for smaller ponds, but all of these were counted as lakes. Especially in Eastern Lapland there is huge amount of small ponds, but lakes in South-Eastern Finland are often very big, like Saimaa.

I have read what you have written and have added Finland and the UK. But I'll just say that from the site I used to get the information, that Finland and UK wasn't added. But thanks for the information!
