mote a more efficient and dynamic economy.
     Thus, banks are the most important of a number of financial intermediaries
that channel funds from people who might not put them to productive use to
people who can do so. Banks also play a critical role in the creation of money and
have been important in the rapid pace of recent financial innovation.

                          MOSCOW NARODNY BANK

      Moscow Narodny Bank is a Russian-owned, UK-licensed bank. MNB is a
very traditional type of bank. MNB was established in London in 1919. It became
the offshore representative of the Soviet government after the Bolshevik revolu-
tion in 1917. For years it was the foreign exchange and trade finance window for
the Soviet government. Other eastern European banks also have long established
London operations. But others have moved in since the transition to a market
economy began in central and eastern Europe.
