Central Banks and Central Banking

The European Central Bank and the central banking function it carries out for the euro area, which together show how an independent monetary authority is set up and what it does. An entry belongs here when its cited source describes a central bank or the practice of central banking. The group sits under the Central Banks and Independent Regulatory Agencies subcategory of the Political Atlas and helps a reader browse that subcategory by the monetary function each entry describes. Each member is placed on the strength of the page it cites, so a reader can follow the grouping back to a stated source.
