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.
SSAB receives a caution for deficient accounting practices
Finansinspektionen is issuing SSAB AB a caution for deficiencies in the firm’s consolidated financial statements. The deficiencies relate to disclosures about the firm’s impairments related to goodwill.
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.

FI Analysis 49: Increased concentration in trading on the Swedish bond markets
The turnover and the number of actors on the bond markets have decreased in recent years. Trading of government bonds has become more concentrated to a few large firms, which makes the market vulnerable to shocks. This is the conclusion of a new analysis by Finansinspektionen (FI).

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.
