The Finance, General Economy and Budgetary Monitoring Committee (usually known as the Finance Committee) is one of the eight standing committees of the French National Assembly.[1] It is traditionally chaired by a member of the largest opposition party.

Jurisdiction

The powers of the Commission for Economic Affairs are as follows :

  • Public finances
  • Finance laws
  • Programming laws for multi-year public finance guidelines
  • Control of budget execution
  • Local taxation
  • Economic conditions
  • Monetary Policy
  • Banks
  • Insurance
  • Domain
  • State participation

The reform of the Standing Orders of the National Assembly of May 27, 2009 introduced that the chairmanship of the finance committee is vested in the opposition.[2][3]
