Central Bank before 1927

edit

What was Greece's central bank prior to 1927? The article states that the bank was founded in 1927 and started operations in 1928. What institution was performing its duties prior to that? --Kimonandreou 20:23, 3 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

There was no central bank before that. Some of the duties were performed directly by the government, some others by the National Bank of Greece, which was until recently an extension of the governmet. Banknotes were issued by the National Bank of Greece, the Ionian Bank and Bank of Thessaly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.203.167.225 (talk) 15:54, 4 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
