Do we need the Federal Reserve in the USA? Why should we pay taxes to have another big bank?

Katia, German National Bank

Central or national banks help both the government and the other banks in the country. The basic function of a central or national bank is maintaining price stability by using a variety of methods. In many cases, the role of a central bank is encouraging financial stability. Sometimes a central bank has a monitoring role which may involve supervising the commercial banks.

It often holds reserves for the other banks. In some countries the central bank controls the supply of money by deciding how much money other banks have to hold as reserve's. In many countries the central bank issues and prints the currency. Some also manage the exchange rate of a country's currency.

The ECB is the central bank for the euro, the common currency in the European Union euro-zone member states. The first task of the ECB is deciding on and implementing monetary policy. This includes setting the interest rates for banks in the euro-zone. Then the banks decide how much interest to charge or pay customers for their business. It is also responsible for carrying out foreign exchange. Holding and managing the official foreign reserves of the euro area countries is a very important job for the ECB. In addition, the ECB has to regulate the payment systems within the euro­zone and make sure that it works without problems.
