November 18, 2013-The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published a Review of the comparability and quality of disclosures in 2012 IFRS financial statements of listed financial institutions.
The Review makes recommendations aimed at enhancing the transparency of financial statements through the improvement of disclosures in certain key areas including: credit risk and impact of forbearance practices; liquidity and funding risk; asset encumbrance and fair value measurement of financial instruments.
ESMA, while finding that the required disclosures under IFRS were generally observed, also identified broad variations in the quality of the information provided, and found some cases where that was insufficient or insufficiently structured to allow comparability among financial institutions.

Finansinspektionen Risks in the financial system 2013 report
November 14, 2013--The high level of debt among Swedish households poses a risk to individual households and, in the long run, also to financial stability. Finansinspektionen FI currently believes that raising the risk weight floor to 25 per cent would be a sound decision. Major Swedish banks have sufficient resilience to a sharp downturn in the economy, but their considerable dependence on market funding continues to be a risk.
The major banks should therefore be conservative in the long run with regard to dividends since they have small margins above the buffer requirements. These are the conclusions from FI’s annual Risk Report.
