Boston May Cut Loose From New York to Become Central Reserve City
Boston bankers at a dinner discussed making Boston a central reserve city to gain financial independence. Currently half of the 3 percent reserve sits in New York. if Boston becomes central reserve, banks would keep the full reserve in their own vaults. A director favored the move to elevate Boston’s standing in the financial world, noting decades of reliance on New York. Under law, if three fourths of national banks in a city of 200000+ petition the Treasury comptroller, the city becomes central reserve.
