The Bank of Croatia is the central bank of Croatia, responsible for managing the country's monetary policy and ensuring financial stability. Established in 1990, it plays a crucial role in regulating the banking system and overseeing the national currency, the Croatian kuna. In addition to its monetary functions, the Bank of Croatia also supervises commercial banks and implements measures to protect consumers in the financial sector. It works closely with other European central banks and institutions, especially as Croatia is a member of the European Union.
