  • List of Certain Foreign Institutions Classified As Official for Purposes of Reporting on the Treasury International Capital (TIC) Forms

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.

    69463 Public Disclosure Authorized The Role of Postal Networks in Expanding Access to Financial Services Worldwide Landscape of Postal Financial Services Africa Region Public Disclosure Authorized The World Bank Group Global Information and Communication Technology Postbank Advisory, ING Bank Postal Policy Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Author’s Note This section discusses the landscape of postal networks in the African region1 and their current role of postal networks in providing access to financial services. The landscape is intended to serve as a basis to assess the potential role to expand access to financial services. For some aspects and some countries data did not seem to be available or was available only to a limited extent. In particular, this was the case for data on the role of the postal networks in cashless payment systems, the significance of the postal financial services compared to monetary aggregates, and the details of the financial services rendered through the post offices. For several countries—Sudan, Central African Republic, Mali, and Sierra Leone—data on the services and their organizations was not yet available. On the other hand, in the course of the desk research in 2004, other countries that were not included in the list of 24 countries were found to have postal networks with an active role in financial services, e.g., Angola, Burundi, Mozambique, Ethiopia, and Madagascar. While this African regional landscape can stand alone, it is an integral part of this large study of the potential of postal networks to coordinate with financial service providers in 5 regions (Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East and Northern Africa) and 7 countries (Egypt, Kazakhstan, Namibia, Romania, Sri Lanka, Uganda, and Vietnam).

  • DMM Advisory Keeping You Informed About Classification and Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service
    July 2, 2021 DMM Advisory Keeping you informed about classification and mailing standards of the United States Postal Service UPDATE 184: International Mail Service Updates Related to COVID-19 On July 2, 2021, the Postal Service received notifications from various postal operators regarding changes in international mail services due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The following countries have provided updates to certain mail services: Mauritius UPDATE: Mauritius Post has advised that the Government of Mauritius has announced the easing of COVID-related restrictions as of July 1, 2021, subject to strict adherence to sanitary protocols and measures. On July 15, 2021, Mauritius will gradually open its international borders. However, COVID-19 continues to have a direct impact on international inbound and outbound mails to and from Mauritius. Therefore, the previously announced provisions and force majeure continue to apply for all inbound and outbound international letter-post, parcel-post and EMS items. New Zealand UPDATE: New Zealand Post has advised that the level-2 alert in the Wellington region has ended as of June 29, 2021. Panama UPDATE: Correos de Panama has advised that post offices, mail processing centers (domestic and international) and the air transhipment office at Tocúmen International Airport are operating under normal working hours and the biosafety measures established by the Ministry of Health of Panama (MINSA). Correos de Panamá confirms that it is able to continue to receive inbound mail destined for Panama. However, Correos de Panama is unable to guarantee service standards for inbound and outbound mail. As a result, force majeure with respect to quality of service for all categories of mail items will apply until further notice.
