As the central bank of Vegno, the Bank of Vegno is primarily responsible for formulating and implementing the country's monetary policy. It sets interest rates, manages the money supply, and regulates the banking sector to achieve price stability and promote sustainable economic growth. Through its monetary policy decisions, the bank aims to control inflation, ensure adequate liquidity in the financial system, and foster a favorable environment for investment and economic activity.
Currency Issuance and Management
The Bank of Vegno has the exclusive authority to issue Vegnese currency and regulate its circulation. It ensures that an appropriate supply of currency is available to meet the needs of the economy. The bank also maintains the integrity and security of Vegnese Rino by implementing measures to prevent counterfeiting and fraud.

Another significant responsibility of the Bank of Vegno is to supervise and regulate banks and other financial institutions operating within Vegno.

By promoting sound and ethical practices in the financial industry, the bank aims to protect depositors and investors and maintain the overall integrity of Vegno's financial system.
Financial Stability
The bank actively monitors and assesses potential risks to the financial system, such as market volatility, liquidity shortages, or excessive credit growth. It takes appropriate measures, including implementing macroprudential policies and establishing contingency plans, to maintain the stability and resilience of Vegno's financial system. During times of economic crisis or financial turmoil, the bank may provide liquidity support to banks and implement measures to restore confidence in the financial markets.
Research and Economic Analysis
The central bank conducts research and economic analysis to enhance its understanding of Vegno's economy and financial markets. It publishes reports, forecasts, and economic indicators that provide valuable insights into the country's economic performance. This research serves as a foundation for the bank's decision-making process and contributes to the broader understanding of Vegno's economic landscape.
Governance and Structure
The bank's governing bodies are the General Meeting of Shareholders, the board of directors, the governor, the director general and three deputy directors-general; the last five constitute the directorate.
The Bank of Vegno holds an annual general meeting to approve accounts and appoint auditors. The board of directors, led by the governor (or director-general in the governor's absence), holds administrative powers. The decision-making authority on external matters, such as banking and financial supervision, is allocated to the directorate through a majority vote. The director-general is responsible for the bank's daily administration and acts as governor in the governor's absence.
The board of auditors evaluates the bank's administration and ensures compliance with laws, regulations, and the bank's statute.
