The Central Bank of Cyprus (CBC) has released a summary overview of its governance framework to bolster transparency and public understanding of its operations. The document outlines the bank’s structures, decision-making mechanisms, and internal control systems but is not a legal document and does not replace existing regulatory frameworks.

Established in 1963, the CBC functions both as Cyprus’s national central bank and as part of the European System of Central Banks, contributing to euro area monetary policy and participating in several European supervisory and regulatory bodies. The governance framework details the roles of the governor, board of directors, and various committees, highlighting the bank’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and operational effectiveness.

The CBC follows a three-line internal control model consisting of operational management, independent risk management and compliance functions, and an internal audit directorate. The publication also covers the bank’s strategic priorities, internal structure, and its ongoing efforts to promote financial ethics, stability, and sustainability.
