		In view of the increasing importance of financial conglomerates, however, this report discusses whether the traditional organisation, procedures and instruments of prudential supervision enable the objectives of the various supervisory authorities to be met.
		For example, a financial conglomerate involved primarily with banking would typically be one in which the parent company is either itself a banking institution under supervision, or is a financial holding company whose most dominant subsidiary is an authorised credit institution.
		A financial conglomerate engaged primarily in insurance would typically be one in which the parent or dominant group entity is an insurance company which has a relatively small banking subsidiary (over which banking supervision can be exercised in the traditional way by the bank supervisor).
