English Translation

13 financial institutions and the Reichswirtschaftsministerium. A reorganization of the central bank according to the principles of the empire was not considered because the earning possibilities of the Girozentrale are in itself too small and provided for the establishment of a Community bank or of community banks for Bohemia and Moravia. This could also not serve the rationalisation of the monetary system. II. Expansion of the Landesbank für Böhmen and the Landes Bank für Mähren as Girozentrale in their regional areas. After deciding whether the creation of a separate solution should be taken into account, a single solution would have the advantage of leaving the central bank of the former Czech :/ savings banks, i.e. a large degree of rationalisation in the monetary system, combined with a strengthening of the Moravian institution. III. Associating the central bank of the savings banks ale Giro central for the protectorate to the Landesbank für Bökmen. By setting up a branch of the bank for Moravia, combined with the granting of certain deposit advantages, the wishes of this institution could be met. This form would eliminate all the shortcomings which would affect the central bank's ability to act on its own, which could fully take account of the rationalisation efforts and would ensure the security of the savings banks.
