The Central Bank of Montenegro (Montenegrin: Centralna Banka Crne Gore) is the central bank of Montenegro. The mission of the central bank is to establish and maintain a sound banking system and monetary policy.

Overview

The Central Bank of Montenegro was established on the basis of the Law on Central Bank of Montenegro, passed by the Parliament of the Republic of Montenegro in November 2000. With its establishment, the Republic of Montenegro obtained an independent authority responsible for monetary policy, and establishment and maintenance of sound banking system and efficient payment system operations.

The Central Bank started to operate on March 15, 2001, when the Montenegrin Parliament adopted the Decision on Appointment of Members of Council of the Central Bank of Montenegro.

Montenegro unilaterally adopted the euro, so it is a third country that does not participate in the European System of Central Banks or ECB meetings. The bank just tracks the ECB policy, making the later the central bank of Montenegro de facto for economic and monetary purposes.

Montenegro does not mint issue or print euro coins or notes and imports them from other countries that are part of the eurozone.
