Regulatory AlertsFinansinspektionen Regulations on Prudential Requirements and Capital Buffers (FFFS 2014:12)
Finansinspektionen issues these regulations to implement the EU Capital Requirements Regulation and Directive, establishing comprehensive prudential requirements and capital buffers for Swedish credit institutions and investment firms. The framework mandates strict rules on consolidated reporting, own funds, large exposures, liquidity, and capital buffer documentation, while recent amendments expand coverage to very large securities companies and introduce updated provisions for covered bonds, implicit government support assumptions, and leverage ratio interventions. Subsequent regulatory updates align Swedish law with the Investment Firms Regulation, refine disclosure obligations, and adjust default thresholds, with the latest amendments taking effect between 2023 and 2025 to ensure ongoing compliance with evolving EU financial standards.
