Conclusion  Let me sum up by saying that banks and enterprises are closely interconnected. They play a crucial role in the functioning of our economy, both individually and together. Yet to a great extent, banks and enterprises shape their relationship themselves: banks decide which enterprises to lend to at which conditions, and enterprises return this trust with their demand for loans.
The Bank of Greece commenced its operations in May 1928. The two main tasks assigned to the Bank, as specified in its Statute, were to ensure a stable currency and to regulate currency circulation. To this end, the Statute provided for the Bank to have reserve assets; it also set a strict limit on the financing of budgetary deficits by the central bank.
