Banque centrale

A "Banque centrale," or central bank, is an institution responsible for managing a country's currency, money supply, and interest rates. It helps ensure price stability, supports economic growth, and maintains financial stability. The central bank also oversees commercial banks, sets monetary policies, and may act as a lender of last resort during crises. Its primary goal is to keep inflation under control and ensure a smooth functioning financial system, which ultimately benefits consumers and businesses by providing a stable economic environment.
