    Financial stability

    Financial stability means that the financial system functions reliably, also during disruptions and in times of uncertainty. We publish assessments and analyses of risks related to banks, households, corporate finance, the housing market and financial markets. In our annual Financial Stability Assessment, we examine vulnerabilities in the financial system and risks that could threaten its stability.

      Quantum computing is coming – Is the financial sector ready?

      In early 2025, the Bank of Finland conducted a survey on the prospects, benefits and risks of quantum technology in the financial sector. Based on the survey responses, quantum tech-nology has the potential to reshape business activities significantly in the long term. Only a few tests and practical trials have been conducted so far, however, as the technology is im-mature. As the opportunities of quantum technology, respondents cited the improvement of risk management and information security and the development of investment activities. In-formation security was also highlighted among the risks, however.
