Headquartered in Amsterdam, the president is appointed by the royal family. In 1814, King Wilhelm I of the Netherlands established the central bank to control the issuance of currency, and the state became the sole shareholder of the central bank. The Dutch Central Bank maintained a fixed interest rate from its inception until it joined the European Economic and Monetary Union in 1999.
