List of Certain Foreign Institutions Classified As Official for Purposes of Reporting on the Treasury International Capital (TIC) Forms
NOT FOR PUBLICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY JANUARY 2001 Revised Aug. 2002, May 2004, May 2005, May/July 2006, June 2007 List of Certain Foreign Institutions classified as Official for Purposes of Reporting on the Treasury International Capital (TIC) Forms The attached list of foreign institutions, which conform to the definition of foreign official institutions on the Treasury International Capital (TIC) Forms, supersedes all previous lists. The definition of foreign official institutions is: "FOREIGN OFFICIAL INSTITUTIONS (FOI) include the following: 1. Treasuries, including ministries of finance, or corresponding departments of national governments; central banks, including all departments thereof; stabilization funds, including official exchange control offices or other government exchange authorities; and diplomatic and consular establishments and other departments and agencies of national governments. 2. International and regional organizations. 3. Banks, corporations, or other agencies (including development banks and other institutions that are majority-owned by central governments) that are fiscal agents of national governments and perform activities similar to those of a treasury, central bank, stabilization fund, or exchange control authority." Although the attached list includes the major foreign official institutions which have come to the attention of the Federal Reserve Banks and the Department of the Treasury, it does not purport to be exhaustive. Whenever a question arises whether or not an institution should, in accordance with the instructions on the TIC forms, be classified as official, the Federal Reserve Bank with which you file reports should be consulted. It should be noted that the list does not in every case include all alternative names applying to the same institution.

Fiscal Year 2009
Statement by the Chairperson of the METAC Steering Committee t was a pleasure for me to chair the Steering Committee of the IMF Middle East Regional Technical Assistance Center (METAC) for the first time this year. The meeting, which was held in Beirut on May 6, I 2009, provided a good opportunity for member countries and donors to gauge the important results and progress achieved in Fiscal Year (FY) 2009, widely recognized by beneficiary member governments, to review the priorities and work plan for FY 2010, and to look forward to the next medium-term phase. The present Annual Report for FY 2009 reviews and addresses these subjects in some detail. As Chairperson, I seized the opportunity to highlight the important role of the Steering Committee in promoting and guiding the work of METAC, and to review ways and means to enhance the role of the Committee with a view to make it more dynamic and effective, including through increased networking and monitoring. I emphasized the important role of METAC in the cross-border fertilization of knowledge and stressed the need for increasing knowledge-sharing and learning as an integral part of METAC’s work. Being located in Beirut, close to the countries it serves, METAC provides several important benefits, including decentralized delivery of technical assistance, which allows for greater flexibility in responding to changing or emerging needs, close coordination with regional technical assistance providers, enhanced country ownership and accountability, and more focused and subject-specific training for local officials. The location of this important center reaffirms the traditional role of Beirut as a regional center of excellence and reflects recognition of Lebanon’s wealth in qualified human resources.

Classification of Accounts Guide Last Updated – January 2018
Classification of Accounts Guide Last updated – January 2018 Contents Part I: General introduction Part II: Residence Part III: Sector categories Part IV.1 – IV.2: Industrial classification Part IV.3: Relationship between sector and industrial classifications Part V.1: Sector components (ESA 10) and sub components Part V.2: List of countries 1 Part I Classification of Accounts Guide – General Introduction I.1 Foreword This guide is intended for all institutions completing a range of Bank of England statistical returns. It describes the two most important systems of classification used in compiling economic and financial statistics in the United Kingdom – the economic sector classification, and the industrial classification. This guide is intended to serve both as an introduction for newcomers and as a source of reference. The nomenclature in the sector classification is in line with international standards – in particular, the European System of National and Regional Accounts (abbreviated to ‘ESA10’). In addition, the analysis of industrial activity is in line with the 2007 standard industrial classification of economic activities (SIC) introduced by the Office for National Statistics. Those without knowledge of accounts classification are recommended to refer to the ‘Guide to Classification’ (Part I Section 3) which takes the reader through the main questions to be answered to help classify accounts correctly. The system of classification used in this guide is solely for statistical purposes. Parts II to IV of the guide describe the main aspects of the classification system in more detail, including lists of examples of institutions, or a web link reference, for many categories. I.2 An introduction to the classification of accounts Sector and industrial classification To understand the underlying behaviour which is reflected in movements in economic and financial statistics, it is necessary to group those entities engaged in financial transactions into broad sectors with similar characteristics.

Banking Supervision Technical Assistance in Fiscal Year 2019
Banking Supervision Technical Assistance in Fiscal Year 2019 Afghanistan (September 16-20, January 21-24) METAC trained a team of Da-Afghanistan Bank (DAB) on corporate governance issues. The training covered international bank corporate governance topics, such as the corporate governance principles, internal control and internal audit functions’ frameworks issued by Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, as well as the guidance on strengthening governance framework issued by the Financial Stability Board and included walk-throughs of related key policy guidance, reports, and assessment tools. The training was an opportunity to discuss with the DAB team the difficulties that DAB supervisors encounter while inspecting banks, and the possible measures that could be implemented for a sound bank corporate governance framework. The mission was held in Amman, Jordan. METAC assisted the Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB) in enhancing the capacity of their supervisors in assessing weak banks, including their contingency and recovery plans. A hands-on training was organized, focusing on sharing lessons learned from the experience of other countries and best practices. This capacity development activity is expected to increase the knowledge, skills and expertise of banking supervisors, and hence reduce the risks that weak banks pose to the financial system. Djibouti (October 21-November 1) METAC continued its TA to the Central Bank of Djibouti aimed at upgrading its regulatory framework. This entailed updating the regulation on capital adequacy ratio in line with the requirements of Basel II/Basel III with respect to the calculation of risk-weighted assets, and following-up on the implementation of the draft regulations proposed during the March 2018 mission on corporate governance, credit risk management, interbank risk management, and foreign exchange risk management.
