9. Sveriges Riksbank

Sveriges Riksbank is usually called as the Riksbank and is the world's oldest central bank and was established in 1668 in Sweden. During the first decades of the post-war era it regulated the credit and also played the leading role in the 500-percent defence of the Swedish krona. One after the other financial crisis followed the bank, in some situations it failed and in some it stood strongly. The Riksbank maintained a dominant position as an issuer of bank-notes and a credit institution in the 19th century. Currently this bank holds the fourth position in the list of oldest banks when it comes to operations.
