Finansinspektionen’s work in 2018 to contribute to sustainable development

FI has conducted a number of supervision activities related to sustainability at the same time as the organisation has been partly restructured and received additional resources. During the year, FI's work has focused on integrating sustainability-related matters into its ongoing supervision, a project that will continue and be intensified.

Finansinspektionen (FI) received a number of specific assignments in this year's letter of appropriations that aim to contribute to sustainable development. FI has conducted a number of supervision activities related to sustainability at the same time as the organisation has been partly restructured and received additional resources.

During the year, FI's work has focused on integrating sustainability-related matters into its ongoing supervision, a project that will continue and be intensified. We also observed in 2018 that there has been somewhat of a change of intensity in terms of the work at the international level: a project is under way in the EU for the Commission's action plan for the financing of sustainable growth and the cooperation between the supervisory authorities and the central banks with regard to sustainability-related matters has expanded and been intensified (a number of new groups and networks were started and grew in scope).

The international work, which is a prerequisite for progressing in a number of important topics in the area, is therefore moving forward, and FI is continuing to take an active role. FI has also noted that the focus continues to lie on climate-related matters due to their close connection to financial stability.
