National Bank Procedures

Definition ∞ National bank procedures are the operational guidelines, regulatory requirements, and internal processes governing a nation’s central bank or its supervised commercial banks. These procedures cover monetary policy implementation, financial stability measures, and oversight of payment systems. They dictate how traditional financial institutions interact with the broader economy.
Context ∞ As central banks consider issuing digital currencies and commercial banks explore digital asset services, existing national bank procedures are undergoing reevaluation. The integration of blockchain technology and digital assets into traditional banking operations necessitates updates to these established protocols. Regulatory bodies are working to adapt these procedures to address new technological capabilities and associated risks.
