Headquarters of the National Bank of Slovakia

National Bank of Slovakia (Slovak: Národná banka Slovenska, NBS), is the central bank of Slovakia, which is a member of the European Union and the European System of Central Banks. Since 1 January 2009, it has also been a member of Eurosystem.

It has 9 regional branches and it is superior to all the banks in Slovakia.

History[]

It is an independent institution, whose basic goal is to hold price stability. It was created on 1 January 1993, together with the Czech National Bank, as a result of the split in the State Bank of Czechoslovakia.

Authorised by the Slovak Government, the Bank represents Slovakia in international financial institutions and in international money market transactions related to monetary policy performance.

The supreme governing body of the National Bank of Slovakia is the Bank Board, which formulates monetary policy, applies appropriate instruments, and rules on monetary measures. It is composed of the Governor and two Vice-Governors, who are appointed and dismissed by the President of Slovakia and other eight members, who are appointed and dismissed by the Slovak government following the proposal of the Governor. As many as three members of the Bank Board are not required to be in a working relationship with the NBS.

The current governor of the National Bank is Peter Kažimír, who took up the post on 1 June 2019.^[2]

The National Bank of Slovakia publishes the Biatec journal since 1993.^[3]
