Finanstilsynet's Risk Outlook 2016 report

Since 1994 Finanstilsynet has systematically analysed and assessed potential stability problems in the Norwegian financial market against the background of developments in the Norwegian and international economy. This is a necessary supplement to Finanstilsynet’s ongoing supervision of individual institutions.

Much of the assessment of individual institutions’ profitability, financial strength and risk needs to be carried out in light of the general state of the financial market. As from 2003 Finanstilsynet has given its view of the state of the financial market in a separate report. The report summarises financial institutions’ results for the previous year, and assesses risks facing banks and other institutions in the Norwegian financial market and potential sources of future stability problems in the Norwegian financial system. Finanstilsynet publishes the report Risk Outlook in the spring and Financial Trends in the autumn.
