Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa (1933–1999) was the 1st emir of Bahrain from 1961 until his death. Born in Jasra, he became emir upon the death of his father, Salman ibn Hamad. During his 38 years as Emir, the economic transformation of Bahrain into a modern nation and a key financial center in the Persian Gulf area took place. Nevertheless, critics note that he also dissolved Parliament, giving absolute power to the royal family.
The Central Bank of Bahrain originated in 1973 under the name Bahrain Monetary Agency, following Bahrain's independence from the United Kingdom. Decree No. 64 of 2006 officially transformed the Bahrain Monetary Agency into the Central Bank of Bahrain, according to the Central Bank of Bahrain and Financial Institutions Law.
