Banque Centrale du Congo Belge et du Ruanda-Urundi

The Banque Centrale du Congo Belge et du Ruanda-Urundi (BCCBRU) was a short-lived central bank whose territorial remit covered Belgian Congo and Ruanda-Urundi. It was established in 1952 to take over monetary authority from the private-sector Banque du Congo Belge upon expiry of the latter's issuance charter. Made obsolete by Congolese independence in mid-1960, it finally ceased activity on 31 August 1961.: 6 

Its successors were, in the Congo, the Monetary Council (French: Conseil monétaire de la République du Congo), established in October 1960 and itself replaced in 1964 by the Banque Nationale du Congo; and in Ruanda-Urundi, the Banque d'Emission du Rwanda et du Burundi (BERB) replaced, also in 1964, by the National Bank of Rwanda and the Banque du Royaume du Burundi.
