Applications will be accepted from 10 September 2026 for the position of Director General of Finland’s Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA). This was decided by the FIN-FSA Board at its meeting yesterday. The Director General’s term of office is five years.

The Director General of the FIN-FSA is responsible for ensuring that the FIN-FSA’s tasks are organised efficiently with the purpose of safeguarding stability and confidence within Finland’s financial sector. The Director General participates in supervisory and regulatory work at the European level with the European Central Bank (ECB) and European supervisory authorities.
Applicants must have an appropriate higher university degree, a good knowledge of financial markets and proven management skills. A strong ability and desire to develop the FIN-FSA’s activities and a robust understanding of the impact of global and sectoral changes on the financial markets and on the FIN-FSA’s work, as well as strong communication skills, will also be important in the selection process.
The intention is that the Director General will be appointed by the present Parliamentary Supervisory Council early in 2027 before the Council’s change of term.
Applications, with a curriculum vitae attached, should be addressed to the FIN-FSA Board and submitted via the online recruitment system no later than 12:00 noon on 5 October 2026.

Finansinspektionen: Regleringen kan förenklas, förutsatt att risktåligheten bibehålls28.9.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Pressmeddelande
Den finansiella sektorns stabilitet och starka risktålighet samt en långsiktig makrotillsynspolitik i Finland har stött sektorns funktionsförmåga i en osäker ekonomisk omvärld. Utvecklingen och en eventuell förenkling av regleringen diskuteras som bäst omfattande både i Finland och på EU-nivå. Enligt Finansinspektionen är det motiverat att förtydliga regleringen och att vid behov förenkla den på de punkter, där en förenkling är möjlig utan att äventyra de finansiella aktörernas kapital-täckning och risktålighet eller det finansiella systemets stabilitet.
Finanssivalvonta: Sääntelyä voidaan yksinkertaistaa, kun riskinkestävyys säilyy28.9.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
Suomalaisen finanssisektorin vakaus ja vahva riskinkestävyys sekä pitkäjänteinen makrovakauspolitiikka ovat tukeneet sektorin toimintakykyä epävarmassa talousympäristössä. Sääntelyn kehittämisestä ja mahdollisesta yksinkertaistamisesta keskustellaan parhaillaan laajasti sekä Suomessa että EU-tasolla. Finanssivalvonnan mukaan sääntelyä on perusteltua selkeyttää ja tarvittaessa yksinkertaistaa kohdissa, joissa se voidaan tehdä vaarantamatta finanssisektorin toimijoiden vakavaraisuutta, riskinkestävyyttä tai rahoitusjärjestelmän vakautta.
