Board of Governors
The three governors are responsible for the overall management of Danmarks Nationalbank.
The Board of Governors has sole responsibility for shaping and adjusting monetary policy, independent of the Board of Directors and the Committee of Directors.
The Chairman of the Board of Governors, Christian Kettel Thomsen, is a ‘royally appointed’ Governor of Danmarks Nationalbank – in practice appointed by the government to head the Board of Governors.
The other two members, Signe Krogstrup and Ulrik Nødgaard, are appointed by Danmarks Nationalbank's Board of Directors.
Under the Danmarks Nationalbank Act, Governors must retire by the end of the month in which they turn 70 years of age.
See the list of former Governors.
