The Croatian National Bank (Croatian: Hrvatska narodna banka; pronounced [xř̩ʋaːtskaː nǎːrodnaː bâːŋka]), known until 1997 as the National Bank of Croatia (Croatian: Narodna banka Hrvatske), is the national central bank for Croatia within the Eurosystem. Originally established in 1972 under the decentralization of the National Bank of Yugoslavia, it became a fully-fledged central bank in late 1991 with the independence of Croatia, and was subsequently the Croatian central bank until 2022, issuing the Croatian dinar until 1994 and subsequently the Croatian kuna until Croatian adoption of the euro on 1 January 2023. It has also been Croatia's national competent authority within European Banking Supervision since 2020.
The acronym for the National Bank in Croatian, as used in their logo, is HNB. The Bank uses the English-language acronym CNB in its publications in English.
The CNB's role was specified by the Constitution of Croatia which was passed by the Parliament of Croatia on 21 December 1990. In performing its duties, the CNB acts as an independent institution responsible to the Parliament. The bank has a share capital of 335,000,000 euros (c. US$450 million).
