Sure. Why not? The while idea behind a central bank is to regulate and monitor, independently. Even some small Island nations have a central banks, and a central bank doesn't necessarily cost the poor country too much money.

Some countries prefer to work with each other when it comes to a central bank, i.e. share. Some examples are:

  • West African Economic and Monetary Union
  • Eastern Caribbean Central Bank
  • Central Bank of West African States
  • Bank of Central African States
