Banks are financial institutions that can make or break an economy. Unsupervised and uncontrolled behavior from banks can spell doom to the economy and for the customers as well. Hence central banks like the Reserve Bank in India or the Federal Reserve in USA monitor the functioning of all banks in their jurisdiction and ensure that they function in a just fashion and customers stand to benefit at all times.
Each country has a central bank that supervises the banks that operate in that country. In India it is the Reserve Bank of India.
A decentralized set of central and private banks
Although there are a number of banking institutions that aid international banking, their functions often overlap. The international banking "system" does not have one entity that functions as a regulatory type central bank. For example, in the US the Federal Reserve System and its lead bank, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has a number of high level functions that govern the US banking system and at times interfaces or influence other world central banks. With that being said, no single world banking organization can function in the world as a central bank functions within a single nation.
