Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten


The Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten is the central bank for the Netherlands Antillean guilder and administers the monetary policy of Curaçao and Sint Maarten. The bank dates to 1828 making it the oldest central bank in the Americas.
Prior to the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles in October 2010, the bank was responsible for monetary policy throughout the Netherlands Antilles. When the BES islands became subject to the central bank of the Netherlands, its present name was adopted.
The bank is expected to replace the Netherlands Antillean guilder with the Caribbean guilder in the coming years.
