 PROFILE
The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street holds some pretty powerful purse strings. Also known as the Bank of England, the central bank of the UK (founded in 1694) is responsible for the overall stability of the nation's financial system. It sets interest rates; manages the government's stock register; and prints banknotes. Besides its role within the UK government, the Bank of England also trains and assists the central banks of numerous foreign nations. The Bank of England has been instrumental in preparing for the UK's participation in the European Monetary Union.
