Supervision of trading 

FIN-FSA's Market Supervision organisation supervises securities trading by listed companies. FIN-FSA's supervision focuses on suspected cases of market abuse. The main emphasis in trading supervision is placed on investigations related to suspected abuse of insider information. The stock exchange oversees daily trading and compliance with marketplace rules by trading parties. However, supervision of price manipulation is mainly the responsibility of FIN-FSA.

The obligation under the MiFID to report on securities turnover will give a better picture of executed securities trades, thereby also enabling supervision of off-exchange trading. Information exchange between European supervisors continues to increase and to foster supervision.

Supervision exercised by FIN-FSA aims at safeguarding the functioning and reliability of the markets. Through its supervision, FIN-FSA seeks to prevent abuses and to investigate them ex-post.
