The Banque de l'Algérie, from 1949 to 1958 Banque de l'Algérie et de la Tunisie, was a French bank created in 1851, that operated as the central bank for French Algeria and, from 1904, also for the French protectorate of Tunisia until Tunisian independence.[1] Following Algerian independence in 1962, it was succeeded by the new state's Bank of Algeria (Шаблон:Lang-fr), and its French operations were wound up in 1963.[2]

History

The Banque de l'Algérie was created by legislation of Шаблон:Date under the French Second Republic. From the start, it was granted the exclusive right to issue currency (Шаблон:Lang-fr) in French Algeria, initially for a term of twenty years.[3] The bank's head office was in Algiers, initially on Шаблон:Lang, then from 1868 in a purpose-built mansion on Шаблон:Lang (later Шаблон:Lang, now Шаблон:Lang) where the Bank of Algeria still keeps offices.

By legislation of Шаблон:Date, the bank's head office was relocated from Algiers to Paris, in a property at 217, boulevard Saint-Germain, where it remained until its termination on Шаблон:Date. This building is now the Шаблон:Ill.

The Banque de l’Algérie's issuance monopoly was extended to the French protectorate of Tunisia in 1904, following two decades of debates during which the Banque de Tunisie had unsuccessfully tried to secure the issuance license for itself. Following the establishment of the French protectorate in Morocco and in the context of World War I, the Banque de l'Algérie's notes became legal tender in French Morocco, together with Metropolitan French and traditional Moroccan currencies. Calls were made for monetary unification of French North Africa under the aegis of the Banque de l'Algérie, but the costly monetary competition eventually led to an agreement with the State Bank of Morocco that left the latter in charge of most monetary policy operations in the protectorate.[4]

Following World War II, the Banque de l'Algérie was nationalized by a law of Шаблон:Date. In January 1949, it was renamed the Banque de l'Algérie et de la Tunisie, but that change was reversed on Шаблон:Date following Tunisian independence and the establishment of the Central Bank of Tunisia.
