Central banking legislation: a collection of Central Bank, Monetary and Banking Laws

The present volume attempts to meet these difficulties. It pre sents, in English, the complete texts of Central Banking and Monetary Laws of twenty-one countries; in addition, it gives sum maries of general banking laws and selected provisions of these laws which are of special significance in the relationship of the Central Bank to the banking sector.

The laws of these twenty-one countries constitute a representa tive cross section of both the traditional and the most recent atti tudes on the legal techniques employed for the purpose of regulating money and credit. These legal techniques are of interest not only to lawyers and economists in general, but also to all persons currently engaged in the administration of individual cen tral banking organizations; to the historian of central banking, who will find here significant material; to the general student of central banking; and to legislators and technicians charged with the re vision of existing central bank regimes or with the task of setting up central institutions where none existed heretofore.
