Central Bank
A central bank is a bank that has aspects of government control that generally controls
the money supply, provides price stability, attains economic output and employment goals, regulates commercial banks, stabilizes the macroeconomy, and provides a payment system (Wright & Quadrini, 2009). They play a vital role in a country’s economy and financial being.
The importance of the central bank
The central bank is important as it acts as a last-resort lender, regulates commercial banks, implements monetary policies, and regulates the money supply. The functions of the central bank helps to modulate the economic standing of a country and its counterparts.
Wright et. al. (2009) reminded us of the importance of the central bank as a regulator of commercial banks using the panic of 1818 and 1972. During this period, the Bank of United States (SBUS) lack of sufficient independence allowed numerous commercial banks to execute excessive lending, failing to protect the financial state of the economy. The banks also faced internal agency issues due to mismanagement of the central bank that impeded the country's ability to maneuver through the Great Depression, so we note how important it is to regulate commercial banks.
Wright et. al. (2009) noted the importance of the central bank as a lender of last resort
and regulator of money supply within the economy highlighted by the absence of a central bank from 1937 to 1914. As there were no central banks, there was no established lender of last resort and no one to increase the money supply or lower interest rates to facilitate and mitigate against the financial panic and avoid recession and debt deflation during the period which exacerbated the poor financial state of the country. This led to private entities such as J.P. Morgan taking on the role of lender of last result granting them controlling power over the economy and the money supply.

Banks are in the business of managing risk
Risk is a fundamental element that drives financial behavior. Without risk, the financial system would be vastly simplified. However, the risk is omnipresent in the real world. Financial Institutions, therefore, should manage the risk efficiently to survive in this highly uncertain world. The future of banking will undoubtedly rest on risk management dynamics. Only those banks that have efficient risk management system will survive in the market in the long run. The effective management of credit risk is a critical component of comprehensive risk management essential for the long-term success of a banking institution. Credit risk is the oldest and biggest risk that a bank, by virtue of its very nature of the business, inherits. This has, however, acquired a greater significance in the recent past for various reasons. Foremost among them is the wind of economic liberalization that is blowing across the globe. India is no exception to this swing…
