Omschrijving
On 4 August 1982, the Royal Monetary Authority of Bhutan Act was enacted. Immediately thereafter, Her Royal Highness Ashi Sonam Choden Wangchuck, Representative of His Majesty in the Ministry of Finance, was appointed as the RMA’s first chairman, while the current minister of work and housing, Lyonpo Yeshey Zimba, became the RMA’s first managing director. Initially various central banking functions remained with the Ministry of Finance, but over time these responsibilities gradually shifted to the RMA. On 1 November 1983, the RMA began actual operations by taking over the liability of notes and coins previously issued by the Ministry of Finance. The RMA also took physical possession of the government’s stock of unissued notes and coins.
The Punakha Dzong, also known as Pungthang Dewa chhenbi Phodrang (meaning "the palace of great happiness or bliss"), is the administrative centre of Punakha District in Punakha, Bhutan. Constructed by Ngawang Namgval, 1st Zhabdrung Rinpoche, in 1637–38, it is the second oldest and second largest dzong in Bhutan and one of its most majestic structures. The dzong houses the sacred relics of the southern Drukpa Lineage of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism, including the Rangjung Kharsapani and the sacred remains of Ngawang Namgyal and the tertön Pema Lingpa. Punakha Dzong was the administrative centre and the seat of the Government of Bhutan until 1955, when the capital was moved to Thimphu. It is listed as a tentative site in Bhutan's Tentative List for UNESCO inclusion.
