| | Bank of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | With the decision to grant the Bank operational independence, responsibility for government debt management was transferred to the new UK Debt Management Office in 1998, which also took over government cash management in 2000. | | | In 1997 the bank's Monetary Policy Committee was given sole responsibility for setting interest rates to meet the Government's stated inflation target of 2.5%. | | | It performs all the functions of a central bank -- to maintain price stability, and subject to that, to support the economic policy of Her Majesty's Government (Bank of England Act 1998) in order to promote economic growth. |

| | MSN Encarta - Bank of England |
| | From the outset the Bank of England was a servant of the government. | | | In the Banking Department the Bank of England differs from other joint-stock banks because it is the banker for the government and the repository of the British monetary reserves. | | | The nationalized bank, operating under the charters of 1694 and 1946, manages the British national debt, issues notes, and administers exchange control regulations. |

| | Bank of England History |
| | In the beginning the Bank was the Government's banker; managing the Government's accounts and providing and arranging loans to the Government. | | | The public were invited to invest in the new project and it was these subscriptions totalling £1.2 million that were to form the initial capital stock of the Bank of England and were to on-lend to the Government in return for a Royal Charter. | | | The Bank therefore, needed to retain a prudent reserve of gold to ensure liabilities could be met on demand. |

| | Victorian London - Finance - Banks - Bank of England |
| | Bank of England, Threadneedle-street (Founded 1694), is divided into the following departments: The Accountant’s, the Cashier’s, and the Secretary’s, all of which have a vast number of smaller subdivisions, which are rendered necessary by the great and intricate business transacted by the Bank. | | | The Bank of England - the chief institution of the kind in the world - is appropriately located in the very heart of the City. | | | It is here that the banking business is carried on in its relations with the bulk of the public. |

| | The issue department, which handles the issuing of bank notes for general circulation, was separated from the banking department, which handles the remaining banking functions, including the management of the public debt, and serves as the depository of government funds and as the staple bank of England. | | | Efficient regulation was assured by the Bank Charter Act of 1844, which laid the basis for the bank's modern structure. | | | In 1997 the bank was given the power to set interest rates, a function formerly performed by the cabinet; at the same time its oversight of the British banking industry was transferred to the Securities and Investments Board |

| | British Coins before the Florin, Compared to French Coins of the Ancient Regime |
| | Bank of England notes were not obligations of the Kingdom of England and betrayed no liability on the part of the government. | | | So Bank of England notes were not items of daily life for most people, but only instruments of large financial transactions. | | | From 1797 to 1821 was the "restriction" period, when the Bank stopped payments in cash, for a while even by law, and then in 1816 slowly began paying out for smaller and then larger amounts. |

| | The Bank’s numerous critics tried to make an issue of this, but the notes continued in circulation, becoming the forerunner of England’s present-day paper currency. | | | Bank directors evaded it by issuing what they called “running cash notes”. | | | The first limitation actually proved an asset, since over the next year or two Bank directors often made it an excuse for refusing further loans to the Crown (loans they were reluctant to make in any case). |

| | During the first half of the seventeenth century, banking in England was mainly in the hands of the goldsmiths who in the course of business made extensive loans to the Crown. | | | It is appropriate that the tercentenary of the Bank of England should be celebrated on the coinage, linking two great institutions both intimately connected with the nation's currency. | | | But it had made the financing of the war possible and the directors were confident that they had acted "with a degree of liberality and attention to the publick advantage". |

| | England Bombs Gold |
| | As the Bank of England is acting as a fiduciary for Her Majesty’s Treasury, which is presumably holding the public gold collectively owned by the citizens of Great Britain, one would expect the BoE to MAXIMIZE the sales price for the gold it was commissioned to sell. | | | By telegraphing large gold sales, the Bank of England guaranteed that HM Treasury would receive the lowest possible price for its gold as arbitrageurs traded on the news and sold gold into each auction. | | | Therefore at any price, at any cost, the central banks had to quell the gold price, manage it. |
