Principles for determining the size of penalty payments and administrative fines and abolishment of the table of indicative administrative fines

The Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) has, on its website, disclosed the principles it will take into account in the comprehensive assessment of a penalty payment or an administrative fine. The principles are not exhaustive. At the same time, the FIN-FSA’s table of indicative administrative fines has been abolished.

The disclosure of the principles and abolishment of the table is based on an amendment of the Act on the Financial Supervisory Authority (611/2014).¹
