Consumer Protection Report 2026
Consumers have four basic needs that the financial system should provide: the ability to pay for goods and services, borrow money, save and insure against various risks. Finansinspektionen (FI) follows the development related to these needs, and we present our view of them in this report. Based on these needs, FI has identified four prioritised risks, which we also highlight in this report.

Remuneration and conflicts of interest in Swedish insurance intermediaries
Finansinspektionen (FI) has conducted an in-depth analysis of remuneration and conflicts of interest at insurance intermediaries that distribute life insurance and savings insurance. The objective of the in-depth analysis has been to gain more in-depth knowledge about the insurance intermediary market’s remuneration structure, how commissions and other remuneration are received, and the conflicts of interest that could arise.

FI Analysis 46: Poor profitability for consumers from autocalls
Finansinspektionen has highlighted in multiple reports that many structured products are unsuitable for most consumers. In a new analysis, FI has analysed consumers’ investments in a type of structured product called autocalls. The analysis shows that autocalls are often expensive, associated with high risks, and difficult to understand. In many cases, these products are unprofitable for investors.
Stability in the Financial System (2025:1): Uncertainty could persist for a while
The uncertainty in geopolitical and economic developments is high, and the risk of negative shocks is higher now than it was last autumn. At the same time, Swedish banks have large capital buffers and good profitability, which builds resilience. Financial firms, households and firms all need to be prepared that the uncertainty could persist for a while. These are some of the conclusions from FI's first stability report of the year.
