A list of participating institutions is attached. The meeting exchanged views on potential vulnerabilities in financial systems in the current economic situation and noted that financial systems had well withstood recent shocks. They also agreed that the improved outlook for growth is creating a more benign financial stability environment in the period ahead. They noted that appreciating exchange rates in EU accession countries heighten the importance of adequate safeguards in the banking system. Participants also discussed issues raised by recent large corporate failures, and noted that many bear relevance for regional transition economies. They underscored the importance of reinforcing market foundations through sound practices in corporate governance, improved audit quality, and strengthened independence of oversight and enforcement institutions.

  • Jaime Caruana: the Importance of Transparency and Market Discipline Approaches in the New Capital Accord
    Jaime Caruana: The importance of transparency and market discipline approaches in the New Capital Accord Keynote speech by Mr Jaime Caruana, Governor of the Bank of Spain and Chairman of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, at the Market Discipline Conference, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and BIS, Chicago, 1 November 2003. * * * Overview Good morning. I would like to thank President Moskow, Malcolm Knight, and the staff of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and of the Bank for International Settlements for organising and hosting this timely conference. It is a pleasure for me to join your discussion in Chicago today. I can think of few venues better situated to talk about markets and to explore the links between transparency, corporate governance, and the role markets can play to encourage prudent risk taking. Bank regulators in recent years have begun to view markets as an ally to our system of supervision. We have consequently sought to incorporate market discipline directly into the supervisory framework. Markets value well capitalised and well managed institutions as much as supervisors do, and can create rewards for banks that manage their risks appropriately. Yet banks can be very complex institutions and no market discipline is possible without widespread public access to timely, accurate, and comprehensive information on a bank’s exposures, its risk management processes, and its outlook for the future. I’d like to discuss this morning why the Basel Committee believes that applying transparency and market discipline approaches in the New Capital Accord will help us achieve our objectives to reinforce the safety and soundness of the banking system.

    Is This the Beginning of the End of Central Bank Independence? Kenneth Rogoff Occasional Paper 95 GROUP OF THIRTY WASHINGTON, D.C. About the Author Kenneth Rogoff is Thomas D. Cabot Professor of Public Policy at Harvard University. From 2001 to 2003, Rogoff served as Chief Economist at the International Monetary Fund. His 2009 book with Carmen Reinhart, This Time is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly, has been widely cited by academics, policymakers, and journalists. One regularity that Reinhart and Rogoff illustrate in their book is the remarkable quantitative similarities across time and countries in the run-up and the aftermath of severe financial crises. Rogoff’s most recent book is The Curse of Cash, which looks at the past, present, and future of currency, from the first standardized coinage to negative interest rate policy to the impact of cryptocurrencies on the global financial system. Rogoff is also known for his seminal work on exchange rates and on central bank independence. His treatise Foundations of International Macroeconomics (jointly with Maurice Obstfeld) is the standard graduate text in the field worldwide. His monthly syndicated column on global economic issues is published in over 50 countries. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Rogoff is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Group of Thirty. Rogoff is among the top eight on RePEc’s (Research Papers in Economics’) ranking of economists by scholarly citations. He is also an international grandmaster of chess. DISCLAIMER The views expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not represent the views of the Group of Thirty, its members, or their respective institutions.

  • 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.

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.
