What is a Central Bank?

Every country or area has a central institution in charge of overseeing its economic and monetary policies as well as ensuring the financial system’s stability. The central bank is the name given to this institution. These institutions, unlike commercial and investment banks, are not market-based or competitive.

Inflation, or the fluctuation of prices for goods and services, is a major worry for many central banks. They keep inflation at the same level as interest rates. When inflation exceeds a central bank’s objective, for example, interest rates are raised to restrict growth. In order to stimulate growth, it reduces interest rates when inflation falls below the bank’s objective.

The bulk of the world’s central banks is self-contained, reporting to their own federal governments and, as a result, to the broader public. In this article, you will study the central banks of various countries.
