- Solvency capital (VD01a)
- Solvency capital (VD01g)
- Valuation differences in employee pension providers' solvency capital (VD02)
Group title in the workbook: 'Vakavaraisuus' (solvency). Filed quarterly by benefit-based occupational pension providers; the VD-ohje guide states VD is collected quarterly for FIN-FSA's supervision and for compiling insurance statistics. Source
Validation rules
65 rules, as counted from the FIN-FSA's published material. Software can run them exactly as published. Source
How they are written: A sheet in the table workbook with one rule per row: the rule itself as a formula over table cells in the column ValidationCode (for example 'VA01a(1020,10)=SUM(VA01a(102010,10):VA01a(102030,10))'), then the table code, start and end date, frequency, system code, severity and interval..
The same workbook is the table template for the return.
The rules, on finanssivalvonta.fi
How they were counted
65 rows on the sheet 'FIN-FSA Validation rules' in the table workbook vd_lomakemalli_fi.xlsx, one per ValidationCode, none with an end date before 13 November 2026. Every rule has the severity 'Warning'.
Counts are in the FIN-FSA's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
Public data
Published firm by firm. FIN-FSA's pension-insurance statistics page publishes a solvency workbook by employee pension insurance company ('vakavaraisuus', current through 2026) that matches VD directly; its 'Solvency of the financial sector' dashboard covers the same subject (employee pension sector solvency) at aggregate, sector level only. Source
Where it is published (Excel)
- Pension insurance statistics
Firm by firm · Excel (xls)
Confirmed firm-level: the key-figures workbook (2025_tunnusluvut_e_fi_sv_en.xlsx, read 13 Nov 2026) names each employee pension insurance company in its own column (for example 'Keskinäinen Eläkevakuutusyhtiö Etera', 'Eläkevakuutusosakeyhtiö Veritas') and was last updated 2 June 2026. The 'only to 2010' note in an earlier version of this entry was wrong: the page currently offers current series (labelled '2017-', '2022-' etc., with files dated into 2026) for employee pension insurance companies and industry-wide/company pension funds, alongside older 2001-2016 archive files. Source
- Solvency of the financial sector
Added up across firms · Interactive online dashboard
Three interactive dashboards that run in the browser (banking and conglomerates; life/non-life insurance; employee pension sector); the page carries almost no text beyond the three headings and 'Fullscreen mode' controls, so the aggregate/firm-level split could not be read from the page itself with this library's access rules (no browser, no JavaScript). Kept as 'aggregate' on the basis of the page's own 'solvency of the financial sector' framing (sector-wide, not firm by firm); not independently confirmed from the dashboards' own data. Source
