Show detail Hide detail

Great Britain. Bank of England : The Bank of England was established by Act of Parliament in 1694 as the first public bank in the British Isles. During the eighteenth century it became the government's own bank as well as acting for other British banks. In the former capacity it took on the management of the national debt and responsibility for the issue of bank notes in England and Wales. Since nationalization in 1946, its functions have been extended to include supervision of deposit-taking institutions and the gold bullion market, and advice to government on national monetary policy.
