Question

State with reason whether you agree or disagree with the following statement.

Central Bank is the Bank of Issue. 

Short Note

Solution

Yes, the above statement is true. The Central Bank is the sole entity that can print currency notes. In other words, the central bank of a country has the exclusive authority to issue currency (notes + coins). The currency issued by the central bank is known as 'legal tender money' i.e. the value of such currency is backed by the central bank. Since, issuance of notes is exclusively reserved for the Central Bank, it is said to be the ‘Bank of Issue’.
