This monograph is a study of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and its evolution, administration, operations, and evaluation. The BIS is the oldest international financial institution, having been established in 1930. It survived the conclusion of its major initial objective, a global economic depression, a world war, and an everchanging international monetary and financial system in which major banks have failed, banks in general have been inadequately capitalized, financial derivative instruments have been misused, currency crises occurred in Asia, Europe, Mexico, and Russia, the U.S. dollar was devalued twice within two years, and charges of laundering gold for the Nazis in World War II have been made against the BIS.
