Key Facts About Vatican Finance
The Vatican manages its finances through the Secretariat for the Economy, the Institute for the Works of Religion (IOR), and the Governorate of Vatican City State. These bodies oversee assets, investments, and donations.
The IOR, often called the Vatican Bank, handles personal accounts for clergy and religious orders. It operates under strict regulatory oversight and publishes annual financial reports to increase transparency.
