## The Bank's mission and key statisticsBut there are many other things that we are responsible for as well.The Reserve Banks also responsible for the stability of the financial system.

We contribute to financial stability in a number of ways. One important way is bysetting monetary policy that helps keep inflation low and stable and people fully employed. We alsocollaborate with other financial regulators – Australian Prudential Regulation Authority,Australian Securities and Investment Commission and the Australian Treasury – through the Councilof Financial Regulators to identify risks in the financial system and to develop plans to address them ifthey arise. In extreme situations, we can also provide lending to financial institutions that are soundbut experiencing difficulties with liquidity.Now we also make and distribute Australias banknotes.

We have a purpose-built banknote printing facility and vaultin the outer suburbs of Melbourne. It might surprise many people that despite the use of electronicpayments increasing, there is still a lot of demand for banknotes, particularly as a store of value.We also operate the payment system that is at the centre of the movement of money in Australia. When moneygoes from one bank to another, say when you pay a bill to somebody who banks with a different bank, themoney comes through the Reserve Bank. We are also constantly looking at innovations to provideAustralians with the most efficient and secure ways to pay. For example, we worked with the banks toThe same call, in code.
