Report: Prioritised risks related to money laundering, terrorism financing and international sanctions
There is a significant risk that the financial system will be exploited by criminals to launder money and commit crimes. In 2026, Finansinspektionen (FI) will keep on focusing in particular on sectors and services where we assess that the risks of money laundering, terrorist financing and circumvention of international sanctions are elevated.
Financial stability and prepardness (2026:1)
The Swedish financial system is stable and the financial sector’s preparedness for crisis and war has been strengthened. The geopolitical situation increases the risk of both financial and operational shocks in the financial system. The rapid technological development, particularly within artificial intelligence, is also enhancing the significance of operational risks and could make the risks in the financial sector more complex and difficult to assess.
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.
