Central Bank Idea Faces Funding and Control Hurdles
The New York editor argues a central bank could be funded if state, trust, and national banks subscribe up to 10 percent of their paid-in capital. He cites about 9460 banks with roughly 60 billion dollars in capital, noting a 10 percent stake could raise around 20 million for the central bank. He warns against any institution holding more than 10 percent of the central bank’s capital. The piece acknowledges the widespread belief the central bank would be tightly controlled by national and Federal authorities, and suggests resolving that view will be difficult.
