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 twitter 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.

Finnish financial sector’s capital position strong - supervision in 2023 focuses on the risks caused by the uncertain operating environment
Uncertainty and slower economic growth weakened the financial sector’s operating environment in 2022 globally. The capital position of the Finnish financial sector remained sound, despite the deterioration in the operating environment. Solvency weakened slightly in the employee pension and banking sectors, but in the non-life and life insurance sectors solvency improved. Due to the changes in the operating environment, the Financial Supervisory Authority’s (FIN-FSA) supervisory priorities in 2023 include credit and liquidity risk management, soundness of corporate governance, and operational risks, such as cyber risks.Press release
