  • 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    NOT FOR PUBLICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY JANUARY 2001 Revised Aug. 2002, May 2004, May 2005, May/July 2006, June 2007 List of Certain Foreign Institutions classified as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.

  • 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.

  • Introducing the Euro As Legal Tender - Benefits and Costs of Eurorization for Cape Verde
    WP/09/146 Introducing the Euro as Legal Tender - Benefits and Costs of Eurorization for Cape Verde Patrick Imam © 2009 International Monetary Fund WP/09/146 IMF Working Paper African Department Introducing the Euro as Legal Tender—Benefits and Costs of Eurorization for Cape Verde Prepared by Patrick Imam1 Authorized for distribution by Francesco Caramazza July 2009 Abstract This Working Paper should not be reported as representing the views of the IMF. The views expressed in this Working Paper are those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of the IMF or IMF policy. Working Papers describe research in progress by the author and are published to elicit comments and to further debate. In recent years, recommendations for countries to unilaterally dollarize/eurorize have become common, particularly when the countries lack economic credibility. After exploring the characteristics of dollarizing/eurorizing economies, we look at the merits and costs of unilateral eurorization for Cape Verde, a highly tourism based economy that has become increasingly integrated into the euro-zone area and that has a strong macroeconomic track record. We illustrate that neither the benefits nor the costs of unilateral eurorization are large and conclude that there is no compelling case to change the current exchange rate arrangement at this point in time. Econometrically, we assess the characteristics of dollarized economies and demonstrate that few of them apply to Cape Verde, further confirming that Cape Verde does not fit the pattern of most dollarizing countries. JEL Classification Numbers: E60, F33, F42 Keywords: Fixed exchange rate, eurorization, dollarization, Cape Verde Author’s E-Mail Address: [email protected] 1 This paper was presented at the Conference Commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the Exchange Rate Cooperation Agreement between Portugal and Cape Verde, held in Praia on the 31st of October 2008.
