De europeiska och inhemska stresstesterna är klara: bankerna har god motståndskraft också mot omvärldsförändringar som följer av geopolitiska spänningar4.8.2025 09:30:00 EEST | Pressmeddelande
Europeiska bankmyndigheten (EBA) har publicerat resultaten av de EU-omfattande stresstesterna och Finansinspektionen stresstestresultaten för de banker som står under dess direkta tillsyn. Enligt resultaten är banksektorn i Finland väl rustad mot en kraftig nedgång i omvärlden. I utgångsläget var bankernas resultatförmåga historiskt stark när stresstesterna inleddes, vilket innebar en lägre grad av stress i jämförelse med tidigare tester. Det svaga makroekonomiska stresstestscenariot var denna gång särskilt aktuellt då det också tog hänsyn till den skärpta handelspolitiken till följd av de amerikanska tullarna.
Eurooppalaiset ja kotimaiset stressitestit valmistuneet: pankeilla hyvä kestokyky myös geopoliittisten jännitteiden tuomille toimintaympäristön muutoksille4.8.2025 09:30:00 EEST | Tiedote
Euroopan pankkiviranomainen (EBA) on julkaissut EU:n laajuisten stressitestien tulokset ja Finanssivalvonta kansallisten suorassa valvonnassaan olevien pankkien tulokset, joiden mukaan Suomen pankkisektori kestäisi toimintaympäristön merkittävän heikkenemisen. Lähtötilanteessa pankit aloittivat stressitestit historiallisen vahvalla tuloksentekokyvyllä, mikä lievensi stressiä verrattuna aiempiin testeihin. Stressitestien heikomman kehityksen skenaario oli tällä kertaa erityisen ajankohtainen ottaessaan huomioon myös kauppapolitiikan kiristymisen USAn asettamien tullien myötä.
European and domestic stress tests completed: banks’ resilience good also against changes in the operating environment resulting from geopolitical tensions4.8.2025 09:30:00 EEST | Press release
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.
Finansinspektionens tematiska bedömning: organisationer inom den finansiella sektorn använder artificiell intelligens i sina interna processer, användningen i kundgränssnittet ökar27.6.2025 11:00:00 EEST | Pressmeddelande
Största delen av företagen i den finansiella sektorn uppger att de antingen redan använder AI-lösningar eller att de planerar att införa dem.
