Keywords: country, currency, iso-3166, iso-4217 Technical Report: version 1 DOI: 10.12757/BBk.CountryCodes.01.01 Citation: Stahl, H. (2020).

However, there are addi- tional codes beginning with ‘X’ that are requested by the European Commission for some statistics and the breakdown of countries may vary between datasets. For bank related data it is import- ant to have separate data for Guernsey, Jersey and Isle of Man, whereas researchers of the real economy have an interest in small territories like Ceuta and Melilla that are not always covered by ISO-3166. Countries that are treated differently in different statistics are described below. These are – United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland – France – Spain – Former Yugoslavia – Serbia United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

  • The Feasibility of Establishing an Off-Shore Banking Facility in the Kingdom of Swaziland
    THE FEASIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING AN OFF-SHORE BANKING FACILITY IN THE KINGDOM OF SWAZILAND March 1994 Submitted by Dr. Ari Beehakker University of South Florida and Mr. Joseph Murrie Prepared for U.S. Agency for International Development Swaziland Mission Mbabane, Swaziland Prepared by Office of Operations and New Initiatives Africa Bureau U.S. Agency for International Development TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY iii I. Introduction and Background 1 II. Results of Interviews and Research Activities 2 A. Interviews 2 B. Researched Materials and Results of Research Activities 4 III. Plan of Action and Recommendation 13 APPENDICES APPENDIX A: Off-Shore Banking in Mauritius 16 APPENDIX B: The Concept and Practice of Off-Shore Banking 19 APPENDIX C: Workshop Summary Report 21 APPENDIX D: List of Individuals Interviewed 35 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors wish to express their appreciation to the following individuals for the invaluable assistance they provided during the period spent in Swaziland carrying out the research and interviews that made this report possible. These are Dr. James Nxumalo, Governor of the Central Bank of Swaziland, and his staff, Mr. John T. Sprott, U.S. Ambassador to Swaziland, and his staff; and Mrs. Valerie Dickson-Horton, Director of the USAID Mission in Swaziland, and her staff. Special th'.nks also goes to Ms. Juldith Jacobs of LABAT-ANDERSON, Incorporated, who provided excellent suggestions for organizing the original draft materials into a coherent final report, and who also did a thorough job of editing and formatting the report in its entirety. ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. The consultants concluded that while several of the elements of offshore banking (such as reduced taxation on banking and other financial transactions, the elimination of foreign exchange controls, and the lessening of regulations on business and finance in general), were desirable, the establishment of an offshore banking program in and of itself would not benefit the Swazi economy sufficiently to justify the costs and efforts involved.
