The Treasury participates in the surveillance of markets and intermediaries.
The Department of the Treasury also supervises banking foundations on a legal level by examining and approving of their by-laws and on an accounting level, by controlling their portfolio management and financial statements. The Treasury also issues general policies concerning investment diversification in relation to an appropriate risk-return ratio and controls the sale process.
