Question
State with reason whether you agree or disagree with the following statement.
Central Bank is a profit-making institution.
Solution
No, this statement is not correct. This is because the main objective of the Central Bank is to regulate and control the activities of all the commercial banks and other financial institutions of the country. It also plays a pivotal role in the organisation and development of a sound monetary and financial system in an economy. However, profit making is not the objective of the Central Bank.
