Under the rules, banking inspection and supervision agencies will "consider and monitor" how supervised credit institutions adhere to monetary and banking regulations, as well as inspect and assess their "financial status, operation, governance and risk degree." The new regime, which takes effect Dec. 1, also adds implementing inspection conclusions, and the handing out of warnings and recommendations to supervision responsibilities.
