In his current and previous posts, Kurenmaa has gained considerable experience both of leadership tasks in expert organisations within public administration and of financial market supervision.

”Tero Kurenmaa has the necessary expertise and experience for this position in regard to managing large government-sector organisations and carrying through development projects and changes.

”To be appointed Director General of the Financial Supervisory Authority is a mark of great trust, and I very much look forward to working with the highly professional FIN-FSA staff in my new role. In these turbulent times we need everyone’s expert contribution and a focus on the common goal if we are to protect confidence in the functioning and stability of the financial markets,” says Kurenmaa.

Tero Kurenmaa has served as Head of Legal in the FIN-FSA since 1 June 2021. Before that he was Deputy Director and Acting Director of the National Bureau of Investigation, and has also served as Director General of the Ministry of the Interior’s Police Department.

Den finansiella sektorn har klarat av utmaningarna med den föränderliga omvärlden väl – särskilt fokus ska läggas på att bekämpa bedrägerier15.9.2025 10:00:00 EEST | Pressmeddelande

Det finns optimism i den finländska ekonomin trots svårigheterna: näringslivets förtroende har stärkts och konsumenternas aktivitet på bostadsmarknaden har ökat. Kapitaltäckningen i banksektorn var fortsatt stark under första halvåret, liksom solvensen inom pensions- och försäkringssektorn. Den inhemska fondsektorn återhämtade sig från det föränderliga marknadsläget under våren, och i juni hade fondkapitalen nästan stigit tillbaka till den rekordnivå som rått i början av året. Situationen för öppna fastighetsfonder var dock alltjämt besvärlig. De finansiella aktörerna har klarat av utmaningarna med den föränderliga omvärlden väl, men sektorn måste lägga särskilt fokus på att bekämpa bedrägerier.

Finanssisektori on kestänyt hyvin epävakaan toimintaympäristön haasteet – erityistä huomiota kiinnitettävä huijausten estämiseen15.9.2025 10:00:00 EEST | Tiedote

Suomen taloudessa on vaikeuksista huolimatta toiveikkuutta: elinkeinoelämän luottamus on kohentunut ja kuluttajien aktiivisuus asuntomarkkinoilla lisääntynyt. Vuoden ensimmäisellä puolikkaalla pankkisektorin vakavaraisuus säilyi edelleen vahvana. Myös eläke- ja vakuutussektorilla vakavaraisuus on edelleen vahva. Kotimainen rahastosektori palautui kevään epävakaasta markkinatilanteesta, ja kesäkuussa rahastopääomat olivat palanneet lähes alkuvuoden ennätystasolleen. Avointen kiinteistörahastojen tilanne jatkui kuitenkin vaikeana. Finanssisektorin toimijat ovat kestäneet hyvin epävakaan toimintaympäristön haasteet, mutta sektorin on kiinnitettävä erityistä huomiota huijausten estämiseen.
