Hello everybody,
Which one is the correct term?

1_ The central banking system of the United States consists of twelve district banks.

2_ The issue of independence of central banks needs to be seen in the context of the very structure of the central banking system in place.

Central bank system
3_From the experience of the Bundesbank one can see that it is of decisive importance for the political independence of a federatively structured central bank system that all regional /national representatives are treated equally in all respects.

Is there any difference between the two?
Thanks!

It is hard to say, but the third one might be a system belonging to a central bank, while the first two describe nation's banking arrangements. Certainly "central banking system" is common in relation to nations or federations. I don't recall having come across "central bank system" before, but the mention of the Bundesbank (a "central bank": the national bank of Germany) in this context offers some support to my suggestion.
