The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority completed a situational awareness exercise with financial sector participants aimed at improving the sector’s shared ability to rapidly produce and share a common operational picture for Sweden’s total defence planning and for scenarios involving major societal disruptions. Banks, insurance companies, securities firms, industry associations and public authorities took part. The exercise sought to strengthen collective capacity to contribute to a joint situational picture and to test and further develop processes for receiving, compiling and feeding back situational reports in a real incident where the sector and society are subject to severe disruption. The authority said it will use lessons learned from the exercise in ongoing development work together with sector participants.
