In this sense, the European Central Bank is the quintessentially independent central bank: No single government stands behind it, and it is expressly prohibited from standing behind any of the national governments whose central bank it is. And yet the ECB is the least independent central bank in the developed world.
En ce sens, la Banque centrale européenne (BCE) en est la quintessence : aucun Etat en particulier n'est derrière elle, pourtant c'est la moins indépendante de toutes les banques centrales du monde développé.
