Centrale Bank van Aruba (CBA)

The Centrale Bank van Aruba (CBA) is the apex financial authority of Aruba, established on January 1, 1986, following the island’s transition to an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. As a “sui generis” entity, it operates autonomously within the public sector to maintain the internal and external value of the Aruban florin (Afl.). Its primary mission is to promote the soundness and integrity of the financial system through rigorous supervision and the implementation of prudent monetary policies. The CBA is the sole issuer of Aruban banknotes and coins and manages the nation’s official gold and foreign exchange reserves, ensuring the long-standing peg to the U.S. dollar remains stable.
