Administrative and management structure
Administrative and management structure
The Fundo de Garantia de Depósitos is a public-law legal person, with administrative and financial autonomy and its own assets.
Under the terms of the law, the technical and administrative services necessary for the proper functioning of the Fund are provided by the Banco de Portugal, and thus the Fund does not have technical and administrative resources of its own.
The functional interaction among the organisational units of the Banco de Portugal providing services to the Fund is undertaken by the Fund’s Secretary-General, who is also responsible for assisting the Management Committee, preparing their decisions and coordinating the respective implementation process. The Secretary-General of the Fund is also a staff member of the Banco de Portugal.
