Die Europäische Zentralbank, kurz EZB, ist seit dem 1. Januar 1999 für die Geldpolitik im Euro-Währungsgebiet verantwortlich. Als supranationale Institution bildet sie das Herzstück für die Stabilität eines ganzen Kontinents. Gemeinsam mit dem Europäischen System der Zentralbanken (ESZB) sorgt sie dafür, dass der Euro im zweitgrößten Wirtschaftsraum der Welt, direkt nach den USA, zuverlässig funktioniert und als Zahlungsmittel stabil bleibt.
Die EZB und das Europäische System der Zentralbanken (ESZB) wurden offiziell im Juni 1998 geschaffen. Dieser Moment markiert einen entscheidenden Meilenstein der Integration, bei dem eine völlig neue Institution auf dem Reißbrett entworfen wurde. Seit diesem Zeitpunkt übernimmt die Bank mit Sitz in Frankfurt am Main die zentrale Rolle für die wirtschaftliche Stabilität und die Währungspolitik in Europa.
Der Sitz der Europäischen Zentralbank befindet sich in Frankfurt am Main.
