The update advances resolution capabilities

The FFSA adopts the SRB guidance for Finnish LSI banks also. The reform advances the resolution capabilities of the LSI banks and supports the uniformity of the banking union in accordance with the principles of the Single Resolution Mechanism.

The Financial Stability Authority has assessed which parts of the EoVC guidance are justified to be adopted to the LSI banks in accordance with the principle of proportionality. The details for adopting the guidance have been communicated directly to the LSI banks. The FFSA has communicated details of adopting the EoVC guidance to the LSI banks.

The SRB oversees the resolution of SI banks in the euro area. National resolution authorities are responsible for the resolution of LSI banks, and the Finnish national resolution authority is the Financial Stability Authority.
