consider leaving in French... Also, depending on the nature of this document: is it a formal contract or perhaps a news article for a general interest publication(?), I would consider leaving it in French if it is a formal, professional document like a contract, etc.

The reason for this, (assuming that this is the Algerian banking authority) is that the mandates for such entities vary widely from country to country. For example, in the US, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve Bank, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Securities and Exchange Commisson all have regulatory mandates which this Algerian entity has. The same goes for the UK and HM Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, etc., and the various entities in France such as the Ministère de l'Economie, de l'emploi, de lindustrie", de la Finance, etc. Details of the mandates of these entities tend to change frequently.

To avoid confusion, most professional finance translators leave these names in French to avoid implying that an entity is the exact Algerian equivalent of institutions in other countries, which it is not; unless the entity has an official English name it uses itself, as in this case.

joehlindsay Dec 11, 2010:

That would be helpful. Yes, of course, there could be another entity with this name.

@ joehlindsay Well wouldn't it be best if the asker confirms this as there is absolutely nothing in the question - even says there is "no other context"

joehlindsay Dec 11, 2010:

I think it's a good chance This is the exact name of the Algerian authority, and the asker notes that it is the authority that approves bank charters (regulator) which is what said institution does. I'm not aware of another institution with this name elsewhere.

Context Asker, 2 responders have managed to "divine" that this relates to the Bank of Algeria.
Does it?
