The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In contrast to a commercial bank, a central bank possesses a monopoly on increasing the monetary base.
- Many central banks also have supervisory or regulatory powers to ensure the stability of commercial banks in their jurisdiction, to prevent bank runs, and, in some cases, to enforce policies on financial consumer protection, and against bank fraud, money laundering, or terrorism financing.
- Central banks play a crucial role in macroeconomic forecasting, which is essential for guiding monetary policy decisions, especially during times of economic turbulence.
