About us

To Media

The FIN-FSA makes available information on the supervised entities’ financial position and regulatory changes, on a regular basis. We are also tasked with the duty of increasing general awareness of the financial markets, of any topical issues of relevance to the public and of new products and services launched on the market.

We publish annually more than 20 press releases and arrange 2–3 press conferences. In addition, our experts publish blogs on matters of topical interest and advertise them on our X account Twitter.com/FIN_FSA. We communicate directly with our supervised entities through supervision releases.

Our Market Newsletter addresses, for example, insider issues concerning listed companies and issues related to disclosure requirements and prospectus supervision.

    Significant real estate risks in the Finnish financial sector – mitigated by strong buffers The situation and development of the real estate sector has a material impact on the financial position and risks of the Finnish financial sector, since banks, insurers and real estate funds have significant exposures in the real estate sector. Weaker-than-expected development of the operating environment and the real estate sector could therefore significantly increase credit, investment and liquidity risks. However, entities operating in the Finnish financial sector have buffers for real estate risks, which improves their risk-bearing capacity.
