Central Bank
A CentralBank, Reserve Bank, or Monetary Authority is an
institution that manages a state's currency, money supply, and interest rates. Central
banks also usually oversee the commercial banking system of their respective
countries. In contrast to a commercial bank, a central bank possesses a monopoly on
increasing the monetary base in the state, and usually also prints the national
currency, which usually serves as the state's legal tender. Central banks also act as a
"lender of last resort” to the banking sector during times of financial crisis. Most central
banks usually also have supervisory and regulatory powers to ensure the solvency of
member institutions, prevent bank runs, and prevent reckless or fraudulent behavior by
member banks.
Central banks in most developed nations are institutionally designed to be
independent from political interference. Still, limited control by the executive and
legislative bodies usually exists.
“A Central Bank is the bank in any country to which has been entrusted the
duty of regulating the volume of currency and credit in that country” -Bank of
International Settlement.
Bank of England was the world’s first effective central bank that was
established in 1694. As per the resolution passed in Brussels Financial Conference,
1920, all the countries should establish a central bank for interest of world cooperation.
Thus, since 1920, central banks are formed in almost every country of the world. In
India, RBI operates as a central bank.
Most central banks are governed by a board consisting of its member banks. The
country's chief elected official appoints the director. The national legislative body
approves him or her. That keeps the central bank aligned with the nation's long-term
policy goals. At the same time, it's free of political influence in its day-to-day operations.
The Bank of England first established that model. Conspiracy theories to the contrary,
that's also who owns the U.S. Federal Reserve.

The Central Bank is the head of the financial system. All financial institutions including
commercial banks are regulated and monitored by the Central Bank.

banks are set off at the Central Bank’s clearing house. The Central Bank can also
demand commercial banks to deposit a certain percentage of their total deposits with
the central bank in order to control the money supply.
The Central Bank dictates the interest rate that commercial banks can offer by setting
the bank rate. This is the interest rate set by the Central Bank and the rate at which
commercial banks and the Central Bank do business, e.g. loans offered by the Central
Bank to commercial bank.

  • 4. Central Bank A CentralBank, Reserve Bank, or Monetary Authority is an institution that manages a state's currency, money supply, and interest rates. Central banks also usually oversee the commercial banking system of their respective countries. In contrast to a commercial bank, a central bank possesses a monopoly on increasing the monetary base in the state, and usually also prints the national currency, which usually serves as the state's legal tender. Central banks also act as a "lender of last resort” to the banking sector during times of financial crisis. Most central banks usually also have supervisory and regulatory powers to ensure the solvency of member institutions, prevent bank runs, and prevent reckless or fraudulent behavior by member banks. Central banks in most developed nations are institutionally designed to be independent from political interference. Still, limited control by the executive and legislative bodies usually exists. “A Central Bank is the bank in any country to which has been entrusted the duty of regulating the volume of currency and credit in that country” -Bank of International Settlement. Bank of England was the world’s first effective central bank that was established in 1694. As per the resolution passed in Brussels Financial Conference, 1920, all the countries should establish a central bank for interest of world cooperation. Thus, since 1920, central banks are formed in almost every country of the world. In India, RBI operates as a central bank. Most central banks are governed by a board consisting of its member banks. The country's chief elected official appoints the director. The national legislative body approves him or her. That keeps the central bank aligned with the nation's long-term policy goals. At the same time, it's free of political influence in its day-to-day operations. The Bank of England first established that model. Conspiracy theories to the contrary, that's also who owns the U.S. Federal Reserve.
