Why is "the decision"
A sentence from BBC new:
The decisions on interest rates, their interventions in financial markets ,their supervisions of the banking sector , all these things are kept under wraps to prevent market speculation .
My question is :
The article of decisons is "the" but the ones of interventions and supervisions are "their". what's the difference ?
I guess their decisions would be a better choice.
