The Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten was established under the 2010 dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles, when that five-island federation was formally dismantled and two new constituent countries — Curaçao and Sint Maarten — began sharing both a central bank and the Antillean guilder under new political arrangements. The joint institution is one of the few central banks in the world serving two autonomous countries simultaneously, each with its own parliament, under a single monetary framework administered from Willemstad.
