The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority has launched a new structure for preparedness cooperation between public authorities and private firms in the financial sector, branded FTPOS, to strengthen coordination for crisis and war scenarios. Developed with Sveriges Riksbank, the Swedish National Debt Office and representatives from financial firms and industry associations, FTPOS is intended to support the authority’s sector responsibility to coordinate preparedness measures and ensure banks and other financial companies are involved to the extent required. The model consolidates two previously separate collaboration tracks into a single structure and is designed as needs-driven, with participation voluntary and open to all relevant authorities, firms and industry bodies, meaning different actors may participate depending on the topic and situation.
