The evolution of central banking from the last fifty years reflects “a wider acceptance of formal financial models and historical descriptions of central bank policies”. The practice of central banking involves a substantial amount of learning and adapting to changing political and economic climate. As monetary authorities, central banks are considered active participants of stabilizing economic fluctuations, guardian of price stability and influencers of economic outcomes (Siklos, 2002, pp. 1-2). Central banks are traditionally perceived as the agents of government’s financial tasks of conducting monetary policy operations. These are mandated and subjected to changing levels of autonomy (p. 32). Though central banks are highly-legislated, statutory relationship cannot define its daily central banking operations or dictate the influence over personalities who set monetary policies (p. 2).
