Bank for International Settlements

(ECONOMICS) Bank for central banks. It takes deposits from central banks and provides financial services, including underwriting bills of exchange. It is based in Basle, Switzerland and was founded in May 1930, for the purpose of facilitating reparations payments by Germany to the Allies.

The BIS also provides a forum for international coordination of monetary policy, conducts financial research, and acts as an agent or trustee for international financial settlements. About 140 central banks and international financial institutions have deposits with the BIS. As of June 2010, currency deposits totaled approximately $303 billion dollars, or about four percent of world foreign exchange reserves.

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) was created by the Dawes/Young Plan for coordinating the transfer of billions of Reichsmarks in reparations from Germany to the Allied powers after WW1. Almost at one, the BIS switched to managing international transactions of gold or hard currency. It also facilitated financial transactions between the Nazi regime and neutral countries during the War.

The BIS provides a very wide variety of specialized services, including underwriting and arbitration in fiduciary disputes.

Mono-functional settlement

A settlement is where there is only one main industry.

A mono-functional settlement example is a cattle station.

Fetish Settlement

When someone who has a racial fetish settles for a less attractive person of said race because it appeases their fantasies of the race.

Emma really likes kpop, that's why she's dating the only asian guy in school Tim. Tim isn't attractive but Emma likes that he's asian, that is why he is considered her fetish settlement boyfriend.

Settlement

The one thing Preston Garvey would force you to help while you're finding your long lost son.

"A settlement needs your help, I'll mark it on your map."
