Currency Issuance

Currency issuance is the process through which a country's central bank creates and distributes money—such as paper bills and coins—used in everyday transactions. It involves deciding how much new currency to produce based on economic needs, controlling inflation, and maintaining monetary stability. The central bank carefully manages the supply to ensure there's enough money for growth without causing inflation. This process also includes withdrawing old or damaged currency from circulation. Essentially, currency issuance balances providing sufficient money for the economy while safeguarding the value of the currency.
