Founded in 1814, De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) is the Dutch central bank. As an independent public body, its mission is to safeguard financial stability through three core tasks: ensuring price stability as part of the Eurosystem's monetary policy, supervising financial institutions (banks, insurance companies, pension funds), and overseeing the smooth and reliable functioning of payment systems. DNB acts as the bank for the government and other banks, and it manages the Netherlands' official reserves.
