| | Central bank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A central bank, reserve bank or monetary authority, is an entity responsible for the monetary policy of its country or of its group of member states, such as in the European Union. | | | Advocates of central bank independence argue that a central bank which is too susceptible to political direction or pressure may encourage economic cycles ("boom and bust"), as politicians may be tempted to boost the economy in advance of an election, to the detriment of the long-term health of the economy. | | | Many banks are required to delegate a percentage of their deposits as reserves. |

| | central bank - Columbia Encyclopedia article about central bank |
| | The central bank has been called the "lender of last resort" and is expected to lend to its nation's banks at any time, particularly during a panic panic, crisis in financial and economic conditions, marked by public loss of confidence in the financial structure. | | | Although central banking systems have varying levels of autonomy, there is generally a significant level of government control. | | | Such duties are met by controlling the discount rate, making reserve advances to commercial banks, trading in government obligations, and acting as the government's fiduciary agent in its dealings with other governments and other central banks. |

| | The ECB is one of the world's largest central banks, being in charge of fiscal and monetary policy for the European Union's official currency, the euro, which is - to date - used by over 300 million Europeans in 12 EU countries. | | | It is important to add that it is generally accepted by economists that the independence of the Central Bank is the best way to avoid selfish manipulation of the macroeconomy for political purposes. | | | The ECB does not publish or invite comments on its proposed decisions. |
