Funding and operating expences

The Financial Supervisory Authority finances its activities mainly by levying supervision and processing fees, which totaled EUR 46.2 million in 2025. In addition, a contribution of 5% is made by the Bank of Finland to the Authority’s funding costs. 

The Board of the Financial Supervisory Authority approves our budget, which is finally confirmed by the Board of the Bank of Finland. Total expense budget for 2026 is EUR 53.8 million. The majority of the expenses for our activities are composed of staff expenses, accounting for some EUR 32.3 million of the budget.

Other expenses amount to about EUR 21.5 million in the budget for 2026. IT and office premises costs as well membership fees for international organisations and services provided by the Bank of Finland make up most of other expenses.
