Kraftfull finansiell reglering nödvändig för att skydda mot kriser20.5.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Pressmeddelande

Det finansiella systemet i Finland är fortsatt stabilt, fastän internationella konflikter tidvis har skakat finansmarknaden och de stigande marknadsräntorna har fått bostadshandeln att bromsa in. Kraftfulla regler för banker skyddar mot finanskriser och stöder hållbar ekonomisk tillväxt. Man bör inte ge avkall på de finländska bankernas och låntagarnas slagkraftighet. En djupare europeisk kapitalmarknad skulle ge fart åt tillväxten och förstärka Europas strategiska autonomi.

Vahvaa rahoitussääntelyä tarvitaan suojaksi kriiseiltä20.5.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Tiedote

Suomen rahoitusjärjestelmä on pysynyt vakaana, vaikka kansainväliset konfliktit ovat ajoittain ravisuttaneet rahoitusmarkkinoita ja markkinakorkojen nousu on hidastanut asuntokauppaa. Vahva pankkisääntely suojaa finanssikriiseiltä ja tukee kestävää talouskasvua. Suomalaisten pankkien ja lainanottajien iskunkestävyydestä ei tulisi tinkiä. Syvemmät eurooppalaiset pääomamarkkinat vauhdittaisivat kasvua ja vahvistaisivat Euroopan strategista autonomiaa.

Strong financial regulation needed for shielding against crises20.5.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release

Finland’s financial system has remained stable, although financial markets have been shaken at times by international conflicts and the housing market has slowed due to the rise in market interest rates. Strong banking regulation provides protection against financial crises and underpins sustainable economic growth. The resilience of Finnish banks and borrowers should not be compromised. Deeper European capital markets would boost growth and strengthen Europe’s strategic autonomy.
