Finansinspektionen issued regulations amending its guidelines on the special supervision of financial conglomerates to align with EU prudential requirements. The amendments modify Chapter 3 Section 4 and Appendix 4 sections D13-D16 to ensure capital requirements are adjusted proportionally when using consolidation methods for undertakings under Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. These changes mandate specific reporting of capital requirements for each financial sector and clarify the treatment of notional capital for non-regulated units within the conglomerate.
