The National Bank of Cambodia (NBC; Khmer: ធនាគារជាតិនៃកម្ពុជា, romanized: Thônéakéar Chéatĕ ney Kâmpŭchéa) is the central bank of Cambodia. The bank's duties include, inter alia, the management of monetary and exchange policies, the regulation of banks and financial institutions, and the control of the national currency, the riel.[2] The bank was established in 1954,[3] after Cambodia obtained its independence from France,[4] taking over from the Institut d'Émission des États du Cambodge, du Laos et du Viet-nam, a short-lived French quasi-central bank that had itself replaced the Banque de l'Indochine two years earlier.[5]
