Combined penalty payments imposed on three natural persons for late notification of managers’ transactions
The Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) has imposed a combined penalty payment for several omissions on each of Pekka Jalovaara, Jarmo Halonen and Ahti Paananen. They had failed to notify the issuer and the FIN-FSA within the deadline about transactions conducted on their own account. A transaction notification must be made promptly and no later than three business days after the date of the transaction. The late notifications relate to the position of Jalovaara, Halonen and Paananen as managers at BBS-Bioactive Bone Substitutes Plcj.
The notification obligation is based on the EU’s Market Abuse Regulation. The purpose of the regulation is, among other things, to increase transparency regarding transactions conducted by individuals discharging managerial responsibilities at an issuer, prevent market abuse, provide information to investors and facilitate supervisory activities by the authorities.
In these cases, the duration of the delays varied from approximately two months to more than eight months. A combined penalty payment for several omissions, payable to the State, has been imposed on each of the individuals in question. The amounts of the combined penalty payments were based on a comprehensive assessment which took account especially of the nature, extent and duration of the omissions. Cooperation with the FIN-FSA to resolve the situation was taken into consideration as a factor reducing the amounts of the combined penalty payments.

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. Största delen av AI-lösningarna används för närvarande i aktörernas interna processer, men tillämpningen i kundgränssnittet kommer att öka under de närmaste åren.
Finanssivalvonnan teema-arvio: finanssisektorin organisaatiot käyttävät tekoälyä sisäisissä prosesseissaan, hyödyntäminen asiakasrajapinnassa lisääntyy27.6.2025 11:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
Suurin osa finanssisektorin yrityksistä kertoo joko jo käyttävänsä tekoälyratkaisuja tai suunnittelevansa sen aloittamista. Valtaosa tekoälyratkaisuista on tällä hetkellä käytössä toimijoiden sisäisissä prosesseissa, mutta soveltaminen asiakasrajapinnassa kasvaa lähivuosina.
