| Title | ACCOUNTS WITH THE BANK OF ENGLAND: BANCO DE ESPANA AND THE INSTITUTO ESPANOL DE MONEDA EXTRANJERA (SPANISH FOREIGN EXCHANGE INSTITUTE) |
| Date | 5 Dec 1912 - 3 Nov 1959 |
| Admin History | The Banco de Espana opened a drawing account at the Bank of England in 1913. The Instituto Espanol de Moneda Extranjera was established in August 1939 as part of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. It took over the Banco de Espana's foreign exchange and gold activities, rendering the central bank's own account with the Bank of England dormant. The Instituto was not instantly granted an account at the Bank of England, this only occured following the signing of an Anglo-Spanish Monetary Agreement in March 1947 (for more details see memo dated: 28 March 1947). |
