Banking institution oversight refers to the regulatory supervision of banks to ensure their stability and adherence to financial laws. This supervision aims to protect depositors, maintain market integrity, and prevent systemic risks within the financial system. Authorities monitor capital adequacy, risk management practices, and compliance with anti-money laundering regulations. Effective oversight is crucial for preserving public trust in financial services.
