About CACEB

The role of Barcelona as a driving force behind Europe's first public bank

The Catalonia Working Group on Central Banks (CACEB) wants to equip Catalonia with a unique perspective on the workings of a central bank through publications and activities that foster knowledge on the topic. The CACEB wants to connect with a long tradition that begins in the Barcelona of the XV century with the ’Taula de Canvi’ [Table of Exchange]. The ’Taula’, considered by many to be one of the first public banks in Europe and located in the Llotja de Mar, had the function of regulating credit and monetary policy in order to offer the security and guarantees that private banks could not.
