The Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) conducted a focused review that primarily assessed banking regulation and supervision of Finland’s less significant institutions (LSIs).1 LSIs account for around 16 percent of Finland’s banking sector and the regulation and supervision of the rest of the banking sector takes place within the European Central Bank’s (ECB) Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM). The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) is under the oversight of the ECB, responsible for the supervision of LSIs.
