Abstract: This article aims to describe and analyse the creation of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in 1930. Based essentially on German and French archives, it will attempt to explain why the central bankers that were members of the Young Committee and subsequently the Organisation Committee for the Bank for International Settlements (COBRI) eventually reached agreement on the role and founding of the BIS, despite the ambivalent attitude of the Reichsbank and Hjalmar Schacht. In this process, the agreement of the central bankers on the idea of independence of the central banks was fundamental.
