1 Historical Development of Central Banking System in the World CHAPTER -1 HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF CENTRAL BANKING SYSTEM IN THE WORLD 1.1 - EVOLUTION OF CENTRAL BANKING Before the 20 Century the concept of Central Banking was not clearly defined. The Central Banking system developed in various countries over a long period of time. In fact Central Banking system developed recently even though some Central Banks were established more than two centuries ago. The Risk Bank in Sweden was established in the year 1668 followed by Bank of England in 1694, which was the first Bank to assume the position of a Central Bank, hence it is known as the 'Mother of Central Banks'. The Federal Reserve System in America was established in 1913 while the Bank of Canada was established in 1934. By and large, the establishment of a Central Bank was encouraged in the countries all over the world. In 1920, a financial conference was held at Brussels. A resolution was passed in the conference that, "all those countries which had not yet established a Central Bank should proceed to do so as soon as possible, not only with a view to facilitating the restoration and maintenance of stability in their monetary and Banking systems but also in the interest of the world cooperation."^ Commencing with the South Africa Reserve Bank in 1921, Central Banks have been established not only in the existing independent or self governing Countries which had not yet have a Central Bank, but also in many new independent states during the past fifty years as shown in the following chart. A Chart showing establishment of some important Central Banks in the World.

A clearly defined concept which has been evolved about Central Bank is that it is generally recognized as the Bank which constitutes the apex of the monetary and Banking structure of its country and which performs, as best it can, in the national economic interest. Historically, all the Central Banks were originally started as privately managed joint stock Banks. But gradually they have become the government organizations and their main objective is to support the economic policy of the government. In several countries, one Bank gradually came to assume more and more the position of a Central Bank, mainly due to its enjoying the sole or the principal right of note issue and acting as the Government Banker and agent. They were not originally known as Banks of issue or as national Banks. The regulation of the note issue was subject to safeguards imposed by the state, and the maintenance of the convertibility of their notes into gold or silver or both were such as in force, were the principal fiinctions of these Banks. In due course, such Banks of issue acquired other functions, duties and powers until the term 'Central Bank' came to be generally used to have a more or less standardized meaning. In various countries, during the course of the 19* century the state endowed an existing Bank with the sale or principal right of note issue, or caused a new Bank of issue to be established with special powers and privileges, accompanied by varying degrees of state control and supervision. In the countries such a Portugal, Romania Bulgaria, Serbia, Turkey, Java, Egypt and Algeria, Banks with a monopoly of note issue were also brought into being during the nineteenth century. Thus, by the end of the nineteenth century almost every country in the world had established a Bank of issue with special rights and powers. All these Banks became the Bankers and financial agents of the governments of their countries, and in different ways or in varying degrees they also assumed the other functions developed by the Bank of England and which have come to be regarded as essential functions of 'Central Banks'. 1.2 - CENTRAL BANKING SYSTEM IN THE WORLD L2.1 Banking System In America (U.S.A.) L2.L1 - Structure of the Federal Reserve System In Most of the countries of the world there is one Central Bank, in an economy usually owned and operated by the government. American's Central Banking system is unique in a number of respects, with too much centralization. The Congress established a Central Banking system with a Board of Governors and 12 district Federal Reserve Banks in various parts of the country. The capital stock of each Federal Reserve Bank is owned by the "member" Banks in its district. Dividends on the stock are limited to a maximum of 6 per cent. The Federal Reserve Banks operate generally under the guidance of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in Washington. The Board appoints three of the nine directors of each Federal Reserve Bank; the other directors are elected by member Banks in the district. The Federal Reserve Banks are operated in the public interest, rather than to make profits. Since 1947 more than 90 per cent of their earnings, after expenses and dividends, have been turned over to the United States Treasury. Members of the Board of Governors are appointed by the President of the United States, subject to confirmation by the Senate. The members are appointed for 14 year, non-renewable terms, and so arranged that the term of one member expires every 2 years.

This paper examines the long- and short-run determinants of the black market exchange rate employing the cointegration techniques and the annual time series data from 1960 to 2002. Consistent with previous studies and the monetary approach to the exchange-rate determination, it is found that the black market exchange rate is cointegrated with the relative consumer price indices in Iran and the U.S., real GDP and the relative import prices. However, in the short run only the rising relative prices and a meagre real GDP growth have been responsible for the depreciation of Iranian currency.

  • Biden, Congress Should Defend Terrorism Sanctions Imposed on Iran
    Research memo Biden, Congress Should Defend Terrorism Sanctions Imposed on Iran By Richard Goldberg, Saeed Ghasseminejad, Behnam Ben Taleblu, Matthew Zweig, and Mark Dubowitz January 25, 2021 During a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing to consider Antony Blinken’s nomination for secretary of state, Blinken was asked whether he believed it is in America’s national security interest to lift terrorism sanctions currently imposed on Iran, including sanctions targeting Iran’s central bank, national oil company, financial sector, and energy sector. “I do not,” Blinken responded. “And I think there is nothing, as I see it, inconsistent with making sure that we are doing everything possible – including the toughest possible sanctions, to deal with Iranian support for terrorism.”1 Bipartisan support for terrorism sanctions targeting Iran goes back to 1984, when the United States first designated the Islamic Republic as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. Since then, every U.S. president2 – Republican or Democrat – and Congress have taken steps to reaffirm U.S. policy opposing Iran’s sponsorship of terrorism and tying sanctions relief to Iran’s cessation of terror-related activities. President Joe Biden has pledged to rejoin the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), if Iran returns to “strict compliance” with the agreement.3 Terrorism sanctions on Iran, however, should not be lifted, even if the Biden administration opts to return to the deal, unless and until Iran verifiably halts its sponsorship of terrorism. This memorandum provides an overview of Iran’s past and ongoing involvement in terrorism-related activities, a review of longstanding bipartisan congressional support for terrorism sanctions on Iran, and a list of terrorism sanctions currently imposed on Iran that should not be lifted.

  • Secondary Sanctions on the Iranian Financial Sector Create De Facto Embargo with Lasting Implications for the Biden Administration
    Secondary Sanctions on the Iranian Financial Sector Create De Facto Embargo with Lasting Implications for the Biden Administration Abigail Eineman IRAN WATCH REPORT John P. Caves III January 2021 1 Introduction During their confirmation hearings last week in the U.S. Senate, President Joe Biden's key national security nominees noted that the new administration was prepared to return to the nuclear accord with Iran, but warned that such a return would not be swift. First, Iran would have to resume compliance with the accord's nuclear restrictions in a verifiable manner, according to Secretary of State designate Antony Blinken, at which point the United States would resume compliance as well. President Biden’s choice for director of national intelligence, Avril Haines, estimated during her confirmation hearing that “we are a long ways from that.”1 Compliance for the United States would mean reversing at least part of the Trump administration's “maximum pressure” campaign—a set of overlapping trade and financial restrictions on almost every part of Iran's economy. The outgoing administration made such a reversal more challenging, particularly as a result of the sanctions imposed on Iran's financial sector in the administration's final months. On October 8, 2020, the United States designated Iran’s financial sector pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13902 and sanctioned eighteen Iranian banks.2 In doing so, the U.S. Treasury Department applied secondary sanctions to Iran's entire financial sector for the first time, potentially barring foreign entities from the U.S. financial system should they do business with Iranian banks.

  • Iran Sanctions
    Iran Sanctions Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs February 10, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS20871 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Iran Sanctions Summary The international coalition that is imposing progressively strict economic sanctions on Iran is broadening and deepening, with increasingly significant effect on Iran’s economy. The objective, not achieved to date, remains to try to compel Iran to verifiably confine its nuclear program to purely peaceful uses. As 2012 begins, Iran sees newly-imposed multilateral sanctions against its oil exports as a severe threat - to the point where Iran is threatening to risk armed conflict. Iran also has indicated receptivity to new nuclear talks in the hopes of reversing or slowing the implementation of the oil export-related sanctions. The energy sector provides nearly 70% of Iran’s government revenues. Iran’s alarm stems from the potential loss of oil sales as a result of: • A decision by the European Union on January 23, 2012, to wind down purchases of Iranian crude oil by July 1, 2012. EU countries buy about 20% of Iran’s oil exports. This action took into consideration an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report on Iran’s possible efforts to design a nuclear explosive device, and diplomatic and financial rifts with Britain, which caused the storming of the British Embassy in Tehran on November 30, 2011. • Decisions by other Iranian oil purchasers, particularly Japan and South Korea, to reduce purchases of Iranian oil. Those decisions are intended to comply with a provision of the FY2012 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L.

    Experience of Iran November in Islamic Banking 2019 1 In the name of God Experience of Iran in Islamic Banking 1. Preface During the past few decades Islamic banking has grown dramatically in the world and many non-Islamic countries have welcomed it as an alternative banking system working in parallel to conventional banking and have authorized establishment of Islamic banks in their territory or Islamic banking departments within conventional banks observing Islamic banking principles and guidelines. After the Iranian revolution, contrary to many Islamic countries which carry out both Islamic and conventional banking systems, such as GCC countries, as required by the Iranian constitution, all banks in Iran, both foreign and domestic, are obliged to exclusively observe and practice Islamic banking. Henceforth, there is no relationship or cooperation between conventional and Islamic banks in Iran. Notwithstanding, all Iranian banks are free to have correspondent banking relations with conventional international banks established outside of Iran. 2. Iran Banking System The history of banking commenced in Iran in year 1888 by the British when they established the Imperial Bank of Persia. Soon after, the Russians opened the Russian Loan and Development Bank. The first Iranian bank, Pahlavi Ghoshoon (today called Bank Sepah) was opened in year 1925. Bank Melli Iran (meaning the “National Bank of Iran” in Farsi) was established in year 1928 and functioned as both a commercial and a central bank during the period 1931- 1960. 2 In 1960, the Central Bank of Iran was established according to the Banking and Monetary Law, and accordingly Bank Melli Iran became merely a commercial bank.
