Public finance Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Monetaryauthority is a generic term in finance and economics for the entity which controls the money supply of a given currency , and has the right to set interest rates , and other parameters which control the cost and availability of money. Generally a monetaryauthority is a central bank , though often the executive branch of a government has de facto control over monetary policy by controlling the central bank.
