Central banks play an important role in preventing a country's banking system from failing. The main function of a central bank is to control inflation by providing stability of its currency. They also provide a country's economy funds when commercial banks cannot cover the need. The central bank is also the sole producer and contributor of a nations banknotes and coins as well as acting as its regulatory authority for monetary policies.

The source adds further comments: "Figures published here are from the FSB's 2019 global non-bank financial intermediation monitoring exercise, which assesses global trends and risks in non-bank financial intermediation. Figures show financial assets when available, otherwise total assets, converted into USD using year-end exchange rates using a constant exchange rate (from end-2018) published by the BIS. These figures may differ from similar statistics published by national/regional authorities due to differences in definitions."
