To Media
The FIN-FSA makes available information on the supervised entities’ financial position and regulatory changes, on a regular basis. We are also tasked with the duty of increasing general awareness of the financial markets, of any topical issues of relevance to the public and of new products and services launched on the market.
We publish annually more than 20 press releases and arrange 2–3 press conferences. In addition, our experts publish blogs on matters of topical interest and advertise them on our X account Twitter.com/FIN_FSA. We communicate directly with our supervised entities through supervision releases.
Our Market Newsletter addresses, for example, insider issues concerning listed companies and issues related to disclosure requirements and prospectus supervision.
You may sign up for the FIN-FSA’s press releases via this link and for other news releases here.

Press releaseRequirements for crypto-asset services have tightened with the MiCA Regulation – consumers still need to be careful The full application of the EU Regulation on Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) has begun, tightening regulation of crypto-asset services and harmonising the market. Finland has one of the shortest transitional periods in Europe. Consumers still need to be careful when purchasing services, as the MiCA Regulation does not eliminate all the risks associated with crypto-assets.

Press releaseStrong capital position protects the financial sector from risks – increased uncertainty in the economy and financial market Despite the challenging operating environment, the solvency of the Finnish financial sector remained strong in 2024. The banking sector's capital ratios remained virtually unchanged and higher than the European average. The employee pension sector's solvency ratio strengthened from the previous year, and the solvency of the life and non-life insurance sectors remained good. In Finland's fund sector, capital figures reached a new record, but the situation of open-end real estate funds is still challenging. Geopolitical risks and the spreading of the trade war continue to threaten the pick-up in the economy and are increasing uncertainty in the financial markets.Press realease Financial position and risks of supervised entities
