The history of banking
1. The history of banking goes back to the early stages of the human civilization. Traces of banking can be found in the early history of Egypt, Babylonia and Greece. The temples at these places practiced an early form of banking – approving loans. These temples provided gold and silver which were deposited as safekeeping for loans to the borrowers and charged high interest rates on those items. Private banking was modified by the Greeks, Romans and Byzantines.
2. Next emerged banks oriented to some particular purpose like the Bank of Venice and the Bank of England, which looked after loans to the government, and the Bank of Amsterdam was formed to receive gold and silver deposits.
3. With developments in the business sector the banking sector also developed, and the 18th and the 19th century experienced rapid growth in this sector.

I would like to spend the first summer month in the country, at my grandparents’. My friends and cousins will be waiting for me there. I miss them so much. We shall go fishing, sunbathing, swimming, horse-riding and playing football. And I’m going to help my grandparents about the garden. So I will be outdoors all the time.
