The Bank of England is the central bank of the United Kingdom. Most countries have a central bank. For example; the Federal Reserve System in the United States, The Deutsche Bundesbank in Germany, the Banque de France and the bank of Japan. Each differs a little form the others in the range of its activities, in the powers and techniques it can use and in the nature of its government, but they all serve as bank to both their country’s government and to it’s banking system. It is through the interaction of these two roles that central banks come to play their key part in carrying out monetary policy in their respective countries, that is, policies affecting the cost and the availability of money and credit.
