It is the Supervisory Council of the Bank, composed of parliamentarians, which makes the ultimate decision.

The Bank of Finland is institutionally not subordinate to the government, but instead to the parliament.
But by the early 1990s, the Bank decided to achieve price stability by directly targeting inflation. A formal agreement between the Bank and the federal government set out the goals for reducing inflation to 2 per cent by 1995. And that inflation-targeting system worked so well that it has been renewed four times, most recently, near the end of last year.
