CCP uses the in game alias of the central bank to monitor all isk usage in Eve. But, lore wise, who does the Eve Bank answer to? CONCORD? The Empires? Some combination?

I would imagine they are their own sovereign entity. Only regulation on their practices would be their own interest in maintaining a healthy economy to stimulate their own wealth gain.

EVE is hyper-capitalism, there are very few if any "oversight" committees, or regulations for that matter. Granted, CONCORD holds authority over nearly everyone, but thats because they were given their ships by the equivalents of gods.

The likely answer is CONCORD, as they are the ones that authorize and regulate player capsuleer activities.

I would also think CONCORD, my copy of the Source is on the other side of the room (otherwise I'd consult it really quick) but the CONCORD section does talk about maintaining markets and protecting the economy. If they have the SCC I would guess that any central banking (of ISK) would be through CONCORD as well.

Having just checked my own copy of Eve Source I would concur with the others who said CONCORD however to be more precise I would sat the SCC (Secure Commerce Commission) which is CONCORD's market division.

Thanks for the info. Does that mean the corp run by Dr. Isk that is in CCP Alliance is apart of concord? Is CCP Alliance a member of CONCORD?

Realistically speaking, CCP really shouldn't be considered to be an entity within the confines of the lore. While the work they do on the game could theoretically be pinned on people working for the empires and CONCORD, CCP itself isn't an IC entity.

I'm pretty sure the Secure Commerce Commission is a corporation in the CONCORD Assembly faction.

Yes it is. Sorry if I didn't make this clear.
