Who Issues Liechtenstein's Money

Liechtenstein gives Swiss Franc (CHF) an official monetary role even though CHF is issued outside Liechtenstein. The external issuer controls creation of Swiss Franc; domestic institutions in Liechtenstein handle their separate local responsibilities. A treaty supplies the legal basis for Liechtenstein's CHF arrangement.

For Liechtenstein, the underlying Swiss Franc comes from the external monetary system associated with Swiss National Bank. Liechtenstein uses that currency as legal tender without creating a separate national series of CHF banknotes. The legal basis is a bilateral treaty.
