Directions: Read the following passages, and determine whether the sentences are "Right" or "wrong". If there is not enough information to answer " right" or "wrong’’. choose "Doesn’t say".
Passage One
The primary justification for banking supervision is to limit the risk of loss to depositors, and by so doing to maintain public confidence in banks. And while supervision naturally focuses on the individual bank, supervisors must also be alert to the possibility that problems in one institution may have either, systemic repercussions on others, or on the integrity of the payments system.
Although supervisors need to have some understanding of the markets and the business environment in which banks operate, they cannot be expected to know as much as the banks themselves about commercial realities of banking. Anyway, it is not the supervisor’s role to make the commercial decisions that are the prerogative of bank management. Rather, the supervisor monitors and evaluates the overall strategies, policies and performance of the bank----where appropriate reference to specific legal or prudential criteria-----and reaches a view as to the soundness of the bank and the competence of those running it.
