Marja Nykänen appointed as Co-Chair of Financial Stability Board’s Regional Consultative Group for Europe

Deputy Governor of the Bank of Finland Marja Nykänen has been appointed as Co-Chair Regional Consultative Group for Europe at the Financial Stability Board (FSB) with effect from 1 July 2025. The other Co-Chair is Antoine Martin, Vice Chairman of the Governing Board of the Swiss National Bank. All of the FSB’s Regional Consultative Groups have two co-chairs, each from a different country. This appointment reinforces Finland’s active role in fostering international financial stability.  

“It is an honour to chair the Financial Stability Board's Europe group together with my Swiss colleague. The Board has a key role in maintaining international financial stability. Having already served as a member of the group, I have seen what can be achieved through international cooperation in fostering financial stability. I believe that in my new role as Co-Chair, I can build on this experience,” says Marja Nykänen.

The task of the Financial Stability Board is to promote financial stability through cooperation and coordination. The Board brings together national authorities and international banking and financial sector entities and, through its members, strengthens the stability of global financial markets.
