The Danish Central Bank, which was established in 1818 as an independent structure by the Kingdom of Denmark, is headquartered in Copenhagen. Although Denmark is in the European Union, it is one of the rare countries that does not use the Euro as its currency. The main purpose of the National Bank of Denmark is to issue the Danish krone and to ensure the price stability of the krone. At the same time, the National Bank of Denmark has undertaken the central government's debt management through an agreement with the Ministry of Finance. In international markets, the abbreviation for the currency is known as DKK.
