Encyclopedic overview
Sveriges Riksbank, or simply the Riksbank, is the central bank of Sweden. Established in 1668 by the Riksdag, it is the world's oldest surviving central bank, and the third oldest bank in continuous operation.
Prior to World War I, it was also the only state-owned central bank outside of the Russian Empire.
