- Biography/History:
-
The Bank of England was founded by Act of Parliament in 1694 as the first public bank in the British Isles, and since that time it has been at the centre of the British banking system. During the eighteenth century, the Bank developed its main function of acting as bankers to the government and to the banking system, which included management of the National Debt and responsibility for the note issue in England and Wales - although a complete monopoly of this was not achieved until 1921. By the end of the eigteenth century it had gradually moved away from ordinary commercial activity as its role as a central bank developed. The Bank was nationalised in 1946, and today its function includes the implementation of monetary policy through market operations and the exercise of supervision over deposit taking institutions and over the wholesale markets for money, foreign exchange and gold bullion. More generally, the Bank oversees the operations of the financial system as a whole, providing the government with economic analysis and advice.
