Forex Central Banks
There are central banks for the majority of the world’s countries. They are often referred to as the “lender of last resort”. Their main priority is to prevent the banking system of the country from collapsing by stimulating and upholding monetary and financial stability and controlling inflation. The central bank is responsible for financing its economy when commercial banks are unable to cover a shortage of funds.
