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    NOT FOR PUBLICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY JANUARY 2001 Revised Aug. 2002, May 2004, May 2005, May/July 2006, June 2007 List of Certain Foreign Institutions classified as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

Not for Redistribution -34- IIT. MONETARY POLICY AND MANAGEMENT1 A. Introduction 1. Eritrea's central bank, the Bank of Eritrea (BE), was established by a temporary proclamation (No. 32/1993) following independence in 1993. Prior to the introduction of the national currency, the nakfa, in November 1997, Eritrea was in a de facto currency union with Ethiopia—using the Ethiopian birr as the legal tender. In March 1997, the Bank of Eritrea Proclamation (No. 93/1997, hereafter "the Proclamation") was enacted and superseded the temporary 1993 Proclamation.2 The Proclamation was intended to provide for an independent central bank, with expanded powers to issue a legal tender and conduct monetary policy with a broad set of instruments, as well as to license, regulate, and supervise financial institutions. 2. This section begins with a brief description of the financial sector and policy environment for the BE. It then undertakes an assessment of key aspects of the Proclamation and its implementation with respect to their implications for central bank independence, and discusses the main factors that have affected actual monetary management of the BE.

  • Executive Summary Eritrea Remains a Strict Command Economy, With
    Executive Summary Eritrea remains a strict command economy, with government activities crowding out most private investment. Investors in Eritrea face significant risks, including: lack of transparency in the regulatory process, severe limits on the possession and exchange of foreign currency, lack of objective dispute settlement mechanisms, difficulty in obtaining licenses, and infrastructure challenges such as high fuel prices and unreliable provision of electricity and water. The Government of the State of Eritrea (GSE) sponsored two investment conferences for Diaspora returnees in the course of 2012, but did not host similar events in 2013. The GSE began encouraging some types of international investment in 2012, and some currency reforms were introduced in 2013. The government is seeking to privatize some state-owned firms. Eritrea’s national development priorities are clearly spelled out in policy statements related to infrastructure, human resources, and food security. Overall, however, despite internal pressure for reform, the GSE has not implemented specific measures that would truly reform the command aspects of its economy or spur broad-based private sector-led growth and market development, nor has it taken steps to loosen business practices, correct macroeconomic imbalances or address foreign currency restrictions and shortages. The nation’s most successful economic sector is mining. A number of reputable international firms are present in Eritrea either conducting exploration or mining for copper, gold, silver, zinc, potash or other minerals. Through these partnerships, Eritrea has the potential to develop an industry that will provide not only direct economic benefits but also skill enhancement and supply chain expansion. At least 24 small and mid-size mining companies have signed license agreements with the GSE, although a few curtailed operations in 2013 or merged with larger firms due to the international economic downturn that put special pressure on speculative industries not yet in the production phase.

  • 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.

An Investigation of the Macroeconomic and Monetary Effects of Dollarization in Eritrea A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Economics at The University of Waikato by Lula G. Mengesha 2013 i Abstract Most countries of the developing world have voluntarily or involuntarily been involved in using foreign currencies and trapped their economies for either the best or worst outcomes of dollarization. For those countries that have fully dollarized their economies, dollarization has provided some benefits in terms of bringing economic stability. However, the benefits in these economies came with costs that have worsened the income inequality and poverty that exist within their economies. Similarly, some countries that rely partially on their own currencies and partially on foreign currencies have seen different outcomes of partial dollarization.
