 Bank of Finland as an employer
The Bank of Finland is the national monetary authority of Finland and a member of the Eurosystem. In addition to monetary policy and research, the Bank of Finland has three other core functions: financial markets and statistics, banking operations and maintenance of the currency supply. The Bank's activities create the prerequisites for economic growth and employment. The Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA), the authority responsible for financial and insurance supervision in Finland as from 1 January 2009, operates in connection with the Bank of Finland. The statutory objective of FIN-FSA's activities is to ensure the stable operation of credit, insurance and pension institutions and other supervised entities whose financial stability is essential to the stability of financial markets. The Bank's expertise builds on leading-edge central bank research aiming at the academic standards required of contributions to refereed international journals and utilising the synergic benefits between research and policy analysis. Representatives of the Bank of Finland participate in the work of the Eurosystem and key international committees and institutions. The Bank offers an international, motivating and egalitarian workplace. The Bank provides opportunities to develop skills in the various activities of the Bank and the European System of Central Banks (ESCB). Professional development of experts is fostered for example through versatile training opportunities, a coaching scheme and internal job rotation. The Bank of Finland caters for the health and wellness of its staff in many different ways, for example by providing catering, library and physical training services, hobby activities and leisure services and facilities. |
