Bahamas - Central Bank of the Bahamas

The establishment of The Central Bank of The Bahamas on June 1, 1974, marked the beginning of a new phase in the monetary history of The Bahamas. It is of course not coincidence that this establishment followed The Bahamas’ graduation to statehood by less than one year, as a newly independent Bahamas recognised the critical role to be played by such an institution in the country’s economic development. Today the Bank continues to diligently pursue its mandate.
