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.

  • FIN-FSA’s assessment: some consumer lenders fail to manage default risks adequately, shortcomings also in contract terms
    The Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) has reviewed the management of default risks and conduct by parties granting consumer credit in Finland. Significant differences were identified among the market participants in the management of default risk: other lenders that were transferred under FIN-FSA supervision in July 2023 have significantly more shortcomings in their credit granting practices in comparison with banks. Furthermore, some of the other consumer lenders do not fully comply with legislation on consumer lending in their contract terms. The FIN-FSA will require these entities to remediate the shortcomings identified in the reviews.
