The Central
Bank of the Comoros (French: Banque Centrale des Comores, BCC) is the
central bank of the Comoros, a group of islands in the Indian Ocean. The BCC
head office are located in Moroni. |
|
|
|
One of the
roles of the Central Bank of the Comoros is to approve the establishment of
new banks on all three islands of the Union of Comoros (Grande-Comore,
Anjouan and Mohéli) and it applies a compulsory reserves system (30% of
deposits) and a bank monitoring system.
The statutes of the BCC state that its Board of Directors shall have eight
members who are chosen from the Comorian Government, the French Central Bank
(Banque de France) and the French government. Since 19 November 1999, all
the central bank's official rates have been pegged to the Euro Overnight
Index Average (EONIA) leading to a stabilisation of interest rate
differentials with the euro. |
The Comorian banking system is constituted of six different banks: the
Central Bank (BCC); the Banque pour l’Industrie et pour le Commerce-Comores
(BIC-C), the Banque de Développement des Comores (BDC), the Banque Fédérale
de Commerce (BFC), the Exim Bank Comores Ltd and the Société Nationale des
Postes et des Services Financiers (SNPSF). In addition, two mutual savings
banks (SANDUK and MECK) play a role.
