Morphology
The meaning 'the country's main bank' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'central' (main/most important) with 'bank' (financial institution). While detailed technical functions (monetary policy, interest rates) are specialized, the basic idea of a national or principal bank is compositional and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will grasp the MWE.
Etymology
The term central bank comes from the picture of one main bank at the central point of a country's money system, where the government and other banks go for help with money. That's why it means the country’s main bank that manages the money supply, helps other banks, and sets interest rates.
