Palestine Monetary Authority

The Palestine Monetary Authority (PMA; Arabic: سلطة النقد الفلسطينية) is the emerging central bank of Palestine.[2] The PMA, located in Ramallah, was established in 1994 following the signing of the Protocol on Economic Relations (Paris Protocol) between the Palestinians and Israel.[3] It is an independent public institution responsible for the formulation and implementation of monetary and banking policies, to safeguard the banking sector and to ensure the growth of the national economy in a balanced manner.[citation needed]
