# The Banque de France is created in 1800 as a dated fiscal-and-credit office

Date: 1800

## The fact

In 1800 the Banque de France was created under the Consulate. It is a credit office, not the Civil Code. Napoleon's documented role is: He authorised a central bank. Shareholders and the state share it; he did not invent banking.

## Context

Shareholders sat beside the state. Sharing the bank with them is required. The setting of The Banque de France is created in 1800 as a dated fiscal-and-credit office is the public file around 1800-01-18. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [fiscal-policy-sustainability](/drivers/fiscal-policy-sustainability) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.
