  Central bank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A central bank, reserve bank or monetary authority, is an entity responsible for the monetary policy of its country or of its group of member states, such as in the European Union.
A central bank is usually headed by a Governor, President in the case of the European Central Bank or Chief Executive/Managing Director in the case of Hong Kong Monetary Authority and Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Advocates of central bank independence argue that a central bank which is too susceptible to political direction or pressure may encourage economic cycles ("boom and bust"), as politicians may be tempted to boost the economy in advance of an election, to the detriment of the long-term health of the economy.
