Es equivalente a nuestro banco central porque tiene el mismo objetivo
(preservar el valor de la moneda, actuar como "banco de bancos", etc).
Tambien, al igual que la FED, el presidente del Banco Central dura mas
que presidente del pais cosa de tener cierta independencia politica.
Como el cargo de presidente argentino es "equivalente" a al cargo de
primer ministro ingles, son cargos distintos, pero es el equivalente
en cada sistema (sistema presidencial y sistema de monarquia
parlamentaria).
Mira lo que dice la FED en

Who owns the Federal Reserve?
The Federal Reserve System is not "owned" by anyone and is not a
private, profit-making institution. Instead, it is an independent
entity within the government, having both public purposes and private
aspects.
Incluso dice que el Congreso puede controlarla:
"However, the Federal Reserve is subject to oversight by Congress,
which periodically reviews its activities and can alter its
responsibilities by statute."

Mira, aca dice que no opera "for profit" (para obtener ganancia) y que
las acciones no tienen las mismas caracteristicas que las acciones de
las companias privadas (no pueden ser vendidas, intercambiadas o
usadas como fondo de prestamo) y que tener estas acciones es condicion
para ser miembro del sistema:

The twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks, which were established by
Congress as the operating arms of the nation's central banking system,
are organized much like private corporations--possibly leading to some
confusion about "ownership." For example, the Reserve Banks issue
shares of stock to member banks. However, owning Reserve Bank stock is
quite different from owning stock in a private company. The Reserve
Banks are not operated for profit, and ownership of a certain amount
of stock is, by law, a condition of membership in the System. The
stock may not be sold, traded, or pledged as security for a loan;
dividends are, by law, 6 percent per year.
