The central bank acts as lender of last resort. How? 

Answer»

The central bank also acts as lender of last resort for the other banks of the country. It means that if a commercial bank fails to get financial accommodation from anywhere, it approaches the central bank as a last resort. Central bank advances loan to such a bank against approved securities. As a lender of the last resort, central bank exercises control over the entire banking system of the country.
