Finanstilsynet changes the organization of supervision over credit institutions

Finanstilsynet (the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority) is reorganizing its credit institution supervision effective 1 July to increase specialization, strengthen cross-group coordination, and align with market consolidation. The restructuring consolidates supervisory duties into four new offices—Groups and Governance, Mortgage Credit and Capital, Credit Risk, and Liquidity Risk, Market Risk and Accounting—while transferring specific institutions between units. These changes deepen credit risk oversight for the largest banks and integrate liquidity and market risk supervision, accompanied by a parallel evaluation of SIFI supervisory practices that leaves other risk areas like AML and IT security unchanged.
