File Se labanki slands.svg right 128px The logo of the CentralBank of Iceland The CentralBank of Iceland lang is Se labanki slands is the centralbank or Reserve currency reserve bank of Iceland . It has served in this capacity since 1961, when it was created by an act of the Al ingi out of the central banking department of Landsbanki slands , which had had the sole right of note issuance since 1927 and had conducted only limited monetary policy . Se labanki slands is owned by the Icelandic government, administered by a three member board of governors appointed by the Prime Minister of Iceland Prime Minister to seven year terms and a seven member supervisory board. It has the sole right to issue notes and coins of Icelandic kr nur and to manage the state s foreign currency reserves. The CentralBank Act of 1986 eliminated the ability of the CentralBank to regulate the interest rates of commercial bank s and savings banks. Though nominally independent, the CentralBank of Iceland was historically expected to follow the lead of the central government. In 2001, however, a floating exchange rates policy was introduced and since then the CentralBank has been empowered to adopt an inflation target and manage monetary policy so as to achieve price stability independent of the policies of the central government.
