The Board of Governors is the highest authority of the Bank.

Each member country of the Bank is represented on the Board with a Governor and an Alternate Governor. In most cases, one or both of them are of ministerial status. The Board meets once a year to consider and approve the financial statements for the past fiscal year, to appoint the external auditors and to lay down the future policies of the Bank.
