Regulations amending liquidity risk reporting requirements for credit institutions and investment firms

Finansinspektionen amended its regulations to update liquidity risk reporting obligations for credit institutions and investment firms in Sweden. The revised rules mandate that firms report monthly liquidity risk data, including expected cash flows based on current conditions, to the regulator within fifteen days of the balance sheet date. Parent companies are required to submit consolidated reports while subsidiaries included in that consolidation are exempt from individual reporting, with the changes entering into force in August and October 2014.
