Bank of France Charter Extended to 1900s Reform
The Bank of France charter expires in 1897 and likely renews for 33 years with a 1 000 000 000 franc increase in note issuance to 6 000 000 000. The bank grants the government 40 000 000 francs free of interest and renounces interest on previous loans, while expanding branches to 30 or more agencies. The reform includes social provisions for farmers and agricultural associations, a representative on boards, and expanded services, with the policy contrasted to U S monetary practice.
