Financial sector’s capital position as at 31 March 2022: Finnish financial sector’s good capital position increasingly important – uncertainty marks the operating environment and risks are elevated9.6.2022 09:45:00 EEST | Press release
The impacts of Russia’s war, the pick-up in inflation and slowdown in economic growth are creating a high level of uncertainty, accompanied by a rise in interest rates and decline in share values. The preparedness of supervised entities for the consequences of these developments and for possible cyber attacks requires sufficiently large capital buffers for all situations and voluntary contingency plans.
Kapitaltäckning och solvens i den finansiella sektorn 31.3.2022: Allt viktigare att den finländska finansiella sektorn hålls kapitalstark – omvärlden präglas av osäkerhet och riskerna ligger kvar på en hög nivå9.6.2022 09:45:00 EEST | Tiedote
Effekterna av Rysslands anfallskrig, inflationsökningen och den avtagande ekonomiska tillväxten skapar stor osäkerhet samtidigt som räntorna stiger och aktievärdena sjunker. Beredskap för konsekvenserna av dessa fenomen och även för eventuella cyberattacker kräver att aktörernas kapitalbuffertar är tillräckligt stora i alla situationer och de frivilliga beredskapsåtgärderna tillräckliga.

Venäjän hyökkäyssodan vaikutukset, kiihtynyt inflaatio ja hidastuva talouskasvu luovat suurta epävarmuutta, samaan aikaan kun korot nousevat ja osakkeiden arvot laskevat. Toimijoiden varautuminen näiden ilmiöiden seurauksiin ja myös mahdollisiin kyberhyökkäyksiin edellyttää kaikissa tilanteissa riittävän suuria vakavaraisuuspuskureita ja omaehtoisia varautumistoimenpiteitä.
