• Central banks are very important these days because they are involved in issuing notes and currency across the countries. They are given the monopoly to issue the notes because the system aims at maintaining uniformity, elasticity, supervision, and better control. These banks are responsible for the total money supply in the economy of the country.
• Central banks also work as advisors, agents, and bankers to the government. They receive payments and make so on behalf of the government. The central bank also floats the public loans and manages them accordingly on behalf of government authorities. The central bank also holds the receipts and keeps the check on accounts and balances of the government of their respective countries.
• The major and minor commercial banks deposit some of the cash within the central banks as custodies. These commercial banks withdraw money during the busy season and pay them back during slack seasons.
• Central banks are responsible for securing the stability of the exchange rate when the country is in the gold standard. Post-World-War-II, the central banks of many countries are keeping the gold and foreign currencies.
