The Central Bank of the Comros (, ; BCC) is the national central bank of the Comoros, a group of islands in the Indian Ocean.
Operations
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. The Central Bank was formerly responsible for administering the currency under the CFA Franc model.[3] The post of Deputy Director of the Central Bank of the Comoros is held by a Banque de France official, who is responsible for monetary policy. 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.[3]
The BCC applies a compulsory reserves system, formerly 30% of deposits but reduced to 25% in 2011, and a bank monitoring system. The headquarters are located in Moroni.[4]
