Abstract
This paper points out that any of a number of factors can be used to explain the rise of the Bank of Canada in the middle 1930s. The paper then suggests that, even after examining all of the questionable initiatives advanced by the Canadian government and by Canada chartered banks throughout the late 1920s and into the 1930s, it must still be said that excessive cash borrowing and excessive or just plain wrong-headed credit dispensation lay at the heart of the decision to create a central bank that would control and regulate the Canadian banking industry.

Abstract
This paper reviews the history of the Bank of Canada, established in 1935 for a variety of pressing economic and political reasons, but the economic turmoil caused by the Great Depression was perhaps the most important factor. The Bank was established relatively late in Canada's history because of little popular support among Canadians for a central bank, especially in Western Canada. The paper further discusses how during the the first fifty years of Confederation, Canadians had shown little interest in establishing a central bank. The remarkable economic expansion between 1900 and 1913 had spread general prosperity and most Canadians considered the current banking system sufficient even though economic experts were concerned about the inflexibility of that system.

Independence Issues
From the Paper
"If free market perspectives are to be considered alone, then there is little argument against the need for central bank independence. In such a perspective, any intervention, political or otherwise, can disrupt the free market movements. At the same time, there is argument that such a degree of independence also can deter the ability of government to manage its economic growth. Another argument is that such policies put developing countries at a distinct disadvantage against more developed economies because of economies of scale.
"One of the most popular examples to illustrate the need for central bank independence is the events that led to the Great Depression. In this scenario, governments control of the country's economy, particular its investment policies affecting the monetary value of the country's currency, as a key contributing factor for the collapse. In its objective to encourage the expansion of the economy to prevent a recession because of similar recession in European markets through spending, the U.S. economy literally was not able to support expectations in the market. However, in the case of the Asian Financial Crisis, analysts now believe that it was the emphasis on liberalization encouraged policies that will eventually left governments unable to respond to kicks in inflation and maintain currency stability."

Abstract
This paper explains the primary objective of central banks in third world countries, how they benefit developing economies and how they may also present problems for developing countries. The paper also explains why central banks, even though they may be facing the gradual erosion of their status and power, will likely be needed by developing countries, albeit in a somewhat different form, for some time yet to come.
From the Paper
"Central banks in their current incarnation are quasi-governmental institutions that are operated with taxpayer dollars but have considerable independence in the performance of their duties. Their goal is to achieve financial stability, in general, and to control inflation, in particular. Their primary method is to regulate the flow of currency; their most potent tool is their authority to raise or lower interest rates. If a particular national economy is stagnant with little or no inflation, a central bank can stimulate growth by cutting interest rates and, presumably, increasing the flow of currency into the system. If an economy is growing too fast and inflation is rising, a central bank can slow things down by raising interest rates."

Abstract
This paper will argue that the formative years of banking in Canada were critical in establishing the unusually high influence and authority of chartered banks in this country. By making brief comparisons and contrasts with the English and American banking systems, the uniqueness of the Canadian situation will be revealed. In the final analysis, it will be clear that when the federal government was to play an active role in the economy, the chartered banking system needed an overhaul. By the time of the Great Depression, there were simply too many chefs in the country's economic kitchen. With each of them struggling for power, it was impossible to create coherent policy and economic unity.

Abstract
This paper looks at the issue of inflation control as an objective of central banks. Viewing the British Commonwealth and Continental European models of 'zero inflation' in contrast with the moderate inflation policy of the US provides a case against zero inflation as a policy objective. A variety of issues that surround inflation; e.g., the inflation/unemployment relationship, etc, will be brought to the fore. In the final analysis, it is clear that efforts to eradicate inflation are misguided and more moderate inflation is preferable in an era where steady economic growth is desirable.

Abstract
This paper explores the key to successful banking which, according to the author, lies in the ability to balance a healthy growth rate, while at the same time analyzing the risks that your institution faces and taking action to minimize those risks.
From the Paper
?Risk comes from the uncertainty of future events. Effective risk management involves the understanding of the risks associated with the various areas of the business and the associated operating environment. Investments are primarily exposed to foreign currency, interest rate volatility and credit risk. The Royal Bank of Canada has set formal policies and procedures that establish an asset mix among equity, fixed income and real estate investments; require diversification of investments within categories; and set limits on the size of exposure to individual investments and counter parties. In addition derivative financial instruments are used, where appropriate, to assist in the management of these risks.?
