Hegemonian Bank

The Hegemonian Bank (Hegemonian: Argentaria Hegemoniae) is one of the Hegemonian institutions and the prime component of the Hegemonian System of Banks. The constituing instrument of the Hegemonian Bank is Reformatio Rei Publici of 1720, issued by Iulius IV.

The Council of Censors is responsible for determining monetary policy for the 90 first-level entities of Imperium, administering the foreign exchange and gold reserves of the first-level entities, engaging in foreign exchange operations, and defining the intermediate monetary objectives and key interest rate of Imperium. The Council of Masters enforces policies and decisions of the Council of Censors, and may direct the constituent banks when doing so; also, has the exclusive right to authorise the issuance of Argentus banknotes and coins. The Bank also operates some Hegemonian payments systems.
