The Bank of Greece (, abbr. ΤτΕ) is the national central bank for Greece within the Eurosystem. It was the Greek central bank from 1927 to 2000, issuing the drachma.
Unusually among contemporary central banks, the Bank of Greece still has private shareholders and its stock is listed on the Athens Exchange.[3]
In addition to its monetary role, the Bank of Greece is also a financial supervisory authority. In that capacity, it increasingly implements policies set at the European Union level. It is the national competent authority for Greece within European Banking Supervision.[4] It is a voting member of the respective Boards of Supervisors of the European Banking Authority (EBA)[5] and European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA).[6] It is Greece's designated National Resolution Authority
