Responsible investment, the latest in monetary policy and Finland’s economic forecast all feature in the Bank of Finland Museum’s spring programme of evening events for the public
The Museum’s spring 2023 programme also includes a look at demographic change, the financial stability outlook and supervision of payday loan providers.
By arranging these types of events, the Bank of Finland aims to foster financial literacy among the public and to boost knowledge of financial markets. The aim is also to promote dialogue between the Bank and the general public.
These will be hybrid events, meaning they can be followed either in person at the Museum or live online. Each of the events starts at 17:00. They will be recorded and can be viewed afterwards on the Museum’s website.

Svagare resultat för Finlands Bank på grund av stigande räntor24.3.2023 11:00:00 EET | Tiedote
Bankfullmäktige har i dag fastställt Finlands Banks bokslut på framställning av Finlands Banks direktion. Finlands Banks reviderade resultat för räkenskapsåret 2022 är noll euro efter upplösning av avsättningar. Avsättningen för valutakurs- och prisrisker upplöstes med 165 miljoner euro för att täcka värderingsförluster på de finansiella tillgångarna, som huvudsakligen hänförde sig till nedgången i marknadsvärdet på värdepapper i dollar. Därtill upplöstes den generella avsättningen med 47 miljoner euro för att täcka det negativa verksamhetsresultatet. ”De stigande räntorna har lett till ett svagare resultat för Finlands Bank. Finlands Bank har förberett sig för uppgången i räntorna genom att stärka sina riskavsättningar redan under perioden av låga räntor. Resultatutsikterna är svaga också de närmaste åren och banken kommer att vara tvungen att upplösa riskavsättningar”, säger vice ordföranden i Finlands Banks direktion Marja Nykänen. Under coronakrisen utökade Eurosystemet de penningp
Rising interest rates reduced Bank of Finland’s profit24.3.2023 11:00:00 EET | Press release
The Parliamentary Supervisory Council has today, upon proposal by the Bank of Finland Board, confirmed the Bank of Finland’s financial statements. The Bank of Finland’s audited profit for the financial year 2022 totals EUR 0.00 after adjustments to provisions. The foreign exchange rate and price difference provision was adjusted downwards by EUR 165 million to cover the valuation losses on financial assets arising mainly from the fall in the market value of dollar-denominated securities. A reduction of EUR 47 million in the general provision was also made, to cover the negative operating profit. “The rise in interest rates has reduced the Bank of Finland’s profit. The Bank had already prepared for higher interest rates by strengthening its risk provisions when interest rates were low.In the immediate years ahead, there will be a further need to use risk provisions, as the profit outlook is weak,” says Bank of Finland Deputy Governor Marja Nykänen. During the COVID-19 crisis, the Eurosy
Korkojen nousu heikensi Suomen Pankin tulosta24.3.2023 11:00:00 EET | Tiedote
Pankkivaltuusto on tänään vahvistanut Suomen Pankin tilinpäätöksen Suomen Pankin johtokunnan esityksestä. Suomen Pankin tilintarkastettu tulos tilikaudelta 2022 on nolla euroa varausten purun jälkeen. Valuutta- ja hintaerovarausta purettiin 165 milj. euroa kattamaan rahoitusvarallisuuden arvostustappioita, jotka johtuivat pääasiassa dollarimääräisten arvopapereiden markkina-arvon laskusta. Lisäksi yleisvarausta purettiin 47 milj. euroa kattamaan negatiivinen toiminnallinen tulos. ”Korkojen nousu on heikentänyt Suomen Pankin tulosta. Suomen Pankki on varautunut korkojen nousuun vahvistamalla riskivarauksiaan jo alhaisten korkojen kaudella. Myös lähivuosien tulosnäkymät ovat heikot, ja riskivarauksia joudutaan edelleen purkamaan”, sanoo Suomen Pankin varapääjohtaja Marja Nykänen. Koronakriisin aikana eurojärjestelmä lisäsi rahapoliittisia ostoja ja myönsi pidempiaikaisia edullisia luottoja pankeille. Tämä kasvatti edelleen Suomen Pankin tasetta. Keskuspankille taloudellinen tulos on seur
