Founded in 1923, Banco de la República serves as Colombia's central bank. Its primary mission is to maintain the purchasing power of the national currency, thereby contributing to the sustained growth of the economy and employment. The bank's core functions include acting as the state's banker, managing the country's international reserves, serving as a lender of last resort for the banking system, and overseeing the nation's payment systems. It also has a significant cultural role, managing a network of libraries and museums, including the Gold Museum (Museo del Oro).
