Bank for International Settlements BANK FOR INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENTS BANK FOR INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENTS. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), based in Basel, Switzerland, is the oldest international financial institution in the world and the principal center for international central bank cooperation. Known as the "central bankers' central bank," where more than one hundred central banks from around the world have deposits, the BIS is an important financial intermediary. Unlike a central bank, however, the BIS cannot issue notes, accept bills of exchange, lend money to governments, or hold a majority interest in any business. Its holdings are also immune from appropriation by any government. The BIS was established as the result of the Hague Agreement of 20 January 1930, which dealt with the issue of reparation payments imposed upon Germany in the Treaty of Versailles (1919). The bank opened on 17 May 1930 with an authorized capital of 1,500 million Swiss gold francs, or approximately $26,835,000. One of the first duties of the new bank was to oversee the reparations payments. In addition, the BIS was to promote cooperation among central banks throughout the world. Six countries originally helped start the bank: Belgium, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, and Japan (which sold its interests in 1952). Although the United States has never been formally represented on the Board of Directors of the BIS, Americans have served as presidents of the Bank and in other key administrative posts. Today, the central banks of all Western European nations are members of the BIS. As of 31 March 2000, the total deposits placed with the BIS amounted to $128 billion, representing approximately 7 percent of world exchange reserves. At the same time, the balance sheet for the BIS stood at 76,054 million gold francs, a record for the end of a financial year. In fact, the balance of the BIS would have been larger by some 3.2 billion gold francs were it not for the appreciation of the U.S. dollar between the beginning and the end of the financial year. Over the last seventy years, the BIS has undertaken a number of important duties, including acting as a forum for central bank cooperation. Through regular meetings, the BIS facilitated the exchange of information among central banks throughout the world, even though during the Bretton Woods Conference of 1944 it was suggested that the BIS be liquidated. The BIS managed capital flows following the two oil crises and the international debt crisis of the 1980s. More recently, the bank has worked hard to promote financial stability in the wake of economic integration and globalization and, when needed, to offer emergency financing in support of the international monetary system. The BIS was instrumental in aiding the transition of western European nations from national currencies to the Euro, adopted in 2002. The BIS also conducts research that contributes to international monetary and financial stability, and collects and publishes statistical data on international finance. Using committees of national experts the BIS regularly makes recommendations to the international financial community that will strengthen the international financial and monetary system.

Bank for International Settlement BANK FOR INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENT The Bank for International Settlement was established under the law of Switzerland. It also has legal capacity pursuant to the municipal law of each of its member states, but it lacks international legal capacity. It was denied a specific international personality. The bank is, therefore, solely in the control of its members. Cite this article Pick a style below, and copy the text for your bibliography. MLA Chicago APA "Bank for International Settlement."
