Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The English Banking System The distinctive functions of the Bank of England consist in its acting as - 1. Banker to the British Government. 2. Banker to the joint stock and private banks. 3. (a) Sole possessor of the right to issue notes which are legal tender in England; (b)sole possessor, among joint stock banks with an office in London, of the right to issue notes at all. 4. Provider of emergency currency. 5. Keeper of the gold reserve for British banking. 6. Keeper of the gold reserve which is most readily available for the purposes of international banking. These various functions fit into and supplement one another, and though their diversity is sometimes pointed to as throwing too much responsibility onto one institution, it in fact enables the Bank to carry out its duties with extraordinary ease, and with the least possible disturbance to the financial community. By the fact that it keeps the balances of the other banks, the Bank of England is enabled to conduct the payment of the interest on the British debt largely by transfers in its books.
