The Bank of Finland manages its financial assets sustainably

Abstract

The Bank of Finland manages financial assets worth EUR 11 billion, which consists of the foreign reserves, euro-denominated fixed-income assets, equity and property funds, and gold. The bulk of the financial assets comprise fixed-income holdings that follow an active investment strategy against benchmark indices. The central bank's core activities and fulfilment of the central bank’s obligations lay the foundation for responsible financial asset management. The Bank of Finland has had responsible investment practices in place for several years and is committed to developing responsible investment activities on an ongoing basis. The Bank of Finland signed the UN Principles for Responsible Investment in December 2019.
