Every year the Financial Stability Authority (RVV) collects administrative fees from institutions, based on the Act on the Financial Stability Authority’s Administrative Fees (1197/2014). The fees are payable by the Finnish credit institutions and investment companies under the RVV’s purview, the main branches of foreign credit institutions operating in Finland, and central securities depositories. On 15 November, the RVV took decisions on the administrative fees chargeable to individual institutions for 2022.

The administrative fees are used to cover the costs of the work of the RVV. The costs in the confirmed budget for 2022 are EUR 3,388,000 and the costs in the IV supplementary budget for 2022 are EUR 261,000 which are covered by administrative fees. When determining the total amount for administrative fees, the surplus generated from previous years is deducted from the costs in the confirmed budget. In 2022, a total of EUR 3,373,174 in administrative fees will therefore be collected.

The way in which the fees are payable by individual institutions is determined is provided in the law. The fees comprise a basic fee and a pro rata fee. The basic fee is a fixed charge provided in the law. The pro rata fee under the law is a percentage of the organisation’s balance sheet total or of its turnover. Furthermore, if the amount collected in administrative fees is greater than the Authority’s budgeted costs, the Authority must reduce the fees to ensure that no surplus is likely to arise. For this reason, the calculation employs a reducing coefficient. In 2022, the reducing coefficient is 0.52 and it will be used to reduce the administrative fee for each organisation accordingly.
