 List
of Banks in Czech Republic
Central bank: Czech National Bank
The Czech National Bank is the central bank and
financial market supervisor in the Czech Republic
with its headquarters in Prague. The Bank's governor
is Miroslav Singer. In accordance with its primary
objective, the ČNB sets monetary policy, issues
banknotes and coins and manages the circulation of
currency, the payment system and settlement between
banks. It also performs supervision of the banking
sector, the capital market, the insurance industry,
pension funds, credit unions and electronic money
institutions, as well as foreign exchange
supervision.
According to the Czech Constitution and the Act on
the Czech National Bank (pdf, 137 kB), the CNB’s
primary objective is to maintain price stability.
Without prejudice to its primary objective, the CNB
also supports the general economic policies of the
Government. The CNB achieves its primary objective –
price stability – by making changes to key interest
rates. The interest rate decisions of the CNB Bank
Board are based on the current macroeconomic
forecast and an assessment of the risks to its
fulfilment. On the Czech Republic’s entry into the
euro area, the CNB will cede independent monetary
policy to the European Central Bank.
The individual subsections of the “Monetary policy”
section describe the monetary policy objective, the
definition of price stability, the CNB’s monetary
policy regime, i.e. inflation targeting, and the
monetary policy instruments used by the CNB. It
contains the current inflation forecast and the
quarterly Inflation Report. The subsection “CNB
Board decisions” contains the Bank Board’s monetary
policy decisions in the form of written minutes of
its meetings as well as presentations and audio
recordings from the press conferences that follow
each monetary policy meeting. The subsection
“Strategic documents” includes, for example,
documents relating to the announcement of the
inflation target, analyses of the Czech Republic’s
alignment with the euro area and The Czech
Republic’s Updated Euro-area Accession Strategy. An
electronic quarterly Central Bank Monitoring is
available for anyone interested in recent monetary
policy developments in other central banks.
