The Bank of Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuvos bankas) is the Lithuanian member of the Eurosystem and has been the monetary authority for Lithuania from 1922 to 2014, albeit with a long suspension between 1940 and 1993. It issued the Lithuanian litas between 1922 and 1940, the Lithuanian talonas in 1991-1993,[citation needed] then a second litas from 1993 to 2014. Since 2015, it has also been Lithuania's national competent authority within European Banking Supervision.[3]
