Den finansiella sektorn i Finland är kapitalstark – många osäkerhetsfaktorer i omvärlden kvarstår11.12.2025 09:45:00 EET | Pressmeddelande
Trots förväntningarna har Finlands ekonomi inte tagit fart, fastän bland annat näringslivets förtroende har fortsatt att stiga. Utöver apatin i ekonomin hotas den finansiella sektorns omvärld av de svaga offentliga finanserna, geopolitiska risker och oron kring värdepappersprisernas hållbarhet. Kapitaltäckningen i banksektorn i Finland var dock fortsatt stark under tredje kvartalet, fastän nedgången i räntenettot ledde till en resultatförsämring. Också arbetspensions- och försäkringssektorerna var fortsatt kapitalstarka tack vare ökade placeringsintäkter, då marknadssentimentet trots riskerna var huvudsakligen fortsatt positivt.
Suomen finanssisektorin vakavaraisuus on vahva – toimintaympäristössä edelleen useita epävarmuustekijöitä11.12.2025 09:45:00 EET | Tiedote
Odotuksista huolimatta Suomen talous ei ole piristynyt, vaikka muun muassa elinkeinoelämän luottamus on jatkanut nousuaan. Talouden apatian lisäksi finanssisektorin toimintaympäristöä uhkaavat julkisen talouden heikko tila, geopoliittiset riskit sekä arvopaperihintojen kestävyyteen liittyvät huolet. Suomen pankkisektorin vakavaraisuus säilyi kuitenkin kolmannelle vuosineljänneksellä vahvana, vaikka korkokatteen lasku heikensi tulosta. Myös työeläke- sekä vakuutussektorit pysyivät vakavaraisina sijoitustuottojen kohentuessa, kun markkinatunnelmat ovat riskeistä huolimatta pysyneet voittopuolisesti myönteisinä.
