'central bank' is the definition.
(Federal Reserve is an example)

'nourished then abandoned real restraint' is the wordplay.
'nourished' becomes 'fed' (I've seen this before).
'then' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'abandoned' indicates anagramming the letters (the original order is abandoned).
'restraint' becomes 'reserve' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'real' anagrammed gives 'eral'.
'fed'+'eral'+'reserve'='FEDERAL RESERVE'
