### Main Findings
- There is a positive correlation between the transparency of the supervisor and the effectiveness of banking supervision.
- Better accountability and integrity practices of banking supervisors are associated with higher independence of the supervisory agency.
- Higher independence of the supervisory agency is, in turn, associated with better compliance with the Basel Core Principles.
- These results are largely robust across different stages of financial development.
