Supervisory guidance consists of recommendations, interpretations, or instructions issued by regulatory authorities to clarify expectations regarding compliance with laws and regulations. Unlike formal rules, guidance typically provides non-binding advice but carries significant weight, influencing how supervised entities conduct their operations. It helps institutions understand how to meet regulatory standards and manage risks effectively. This tool permits regulators to respond flexibly to evolving market conditions.
