The provision of governmental banking services including supervisory monetary policy for a country or a group of member states (for example: the European Union).

Description

The primary responsibility is to maintain the stability of the national currency and money supply, but more active duties include controlling subsidized loan interest rates, and acting as a 'bailout' lender of last resort to the banking sector during times of financial crisis. There may also be supervisory powers to ensure that banks and other financial institutions do not behave recklessly or fraudulently.
