U.S. Senate rules define the jurisdiction of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs as:
- Banks, banking, and financial institutions.
- Deposit insurance (i.e., Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, etc.)
- Economic stabilization and defense production.
- Export and foreign trade promotion.
- Export controls.
- Federal monetary policy, including the Federal Reserve System.
- Financial aid to commerce and industry.
- Issuance and redemption of notes.
- Money and credit, including currency and coinage.
- Nursing home construction.
- Public and private housing (including veterans housing).
- Renegotiation of Government contracts.
- Urban development and urban mass transit.
While the Committee is given authority in "matters relating to international economic policy as it affects United States monetary affairs, credit, and financial institutions; economic growth, urban affairs, and credit", this area may overlap that of the Senate Committee on Finance and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
