Finland's central bank, based in Helsinki, forms the Finnish part of the Eurosystem. Its stated aim is to build economic stability by safeguarding price stability, safe payment systems and a sound financial system. It also carries out research, compiles statistics and publishes economic forecasts, oversees payment systems and provides information on euro notes and coins, including how to spot counterfeits.
Its Bank of Finland Museum is open to anyone interested in the economy. You can explore on your own or book a free guided tour in advance in Finnish, Swedish or English. Visitors usually spend 1.5 to 4 hours here, and the entrance is wheelchair accessible.
