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.

You may sign up for the FIN-FSA’s press releases via this link and for other news releases here.

    Financial sector has withstood well the challenges of a volatile operating environment – special attention must be paid to preventing fraud Despite the difficulties, there is optimism in the Finnish economy: business confidence has improved and consumer activity in the housing market has increased. In the first half of the year, the capital position of the banking sector remained strong. The solvency of the pension and insurance sectors is also strong. The domestic fund sector recovered from the volatile market conditions of the spring, and in June fund capital had returned to nearly its record level of the early part of the year. The situation of open-end real estate funds remained difficult, however. Financial sector participants have withstood well the challenges of a volatile operating environment, but the sector must pay special attention to preventing fraud.

    European and domestic stress tests completed: banks’ resilience good also against changes in the operating environment resulting from geopolitical tensions The European Banking Authority (EBA) has published the results of its EU-wide stress test exercise, and the Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) has published the results of the banks that are subject to its direct supervision. The results show that the Finnish banking sector would withstand a significant weakening of the operating environment. At the start of the stress test horizon, the banks’ profit performance was historically strong, which eased the stress compared to the previous exercises. The adverse scenario of the stress test exercise was particularly relevant because it took into consideration the tightening of trade policies brought about by the tariffs imposed by the United States.
