Finance Committee
Taxation, monetary policy, financial and capital markets
With the exception of budgetary policy, the Committee’s jurisdiction is identical with that of the Federal Ministry of Finance. The function of the Finance Committee is to deliberate on the items referred to it by the plenary of the German Bundestag: in particular, draft bills introduced by the German Federal Government, the parliamentary groups and the Bundesrat, motions tabled by the parliamentary groups, reports submitted by the Federal Government and items from the European Union. The Finance Committee usually takes the lead role in any deliberations on financial market regulation (banks, securities trading and the insurance sector), the customs system and tax policy.
