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.
