The laws on banking and credit matters have been brought together in Legislative Decree 385/1993, as amended, generally known as the Consolidated Law on Banking.
This law establishes principles and assigns powers; it lays down the basic rules and defines the tasks of the credit authorities (the Interministerial Committee for Credit and Savings, the Ministry for the Economy and Finance and the Bank of Italy). In particular, it assigns the power to issue secondary legislation on technical matters and interventions of a prudential nature.
The laws on financial matters have been brought together in Legislative Decree 58/1998, as amended, generally known as the Consolidated Law on Finance.
Other important rules for the organization, powers and functioning of the Bank of Italy and of other supervisory authorities are contained in the articles 19 to 29 of the Law 262/2005 ("Measures for the protection of savings and discipline of the financial markets").
