Questions regularly arise concerning the special character of the NBB as a public limited liability company: why is the NBB not the same as other public companies, why is it listed on the Stock Exchange, where does it obtain its income, what is the purpose of its gold and foreign currency reserves?

These are all questions which we aim to answer by explaining to the public who we are and what we do. We have tried to give a clear account and keep to the essentials without going into all the legal aspects or offering economic and monetary explanations which would make this information inaccessible to all but a small group of people familiar with the subject.
