Mission Statement
The United States Treasury Department, through the provision
of technical advice, endeavors to assist the transformation
of public and commercial financial systems from state directed
operations to market based systems. The advisory services
of Treasury's program emphasize policy development leading
to structural changes within the respective financial systems.
Five core areas of financial assistance are provided in Treasury's
program: budget policy and management, financial institutions
policy and regulation, government debt issuance and management,
enforcement policy and administration, and tax policy and
administration. The Treasury Department fulfills its responsibilities
in technical assistance primarily through the placement of
resident and intermittent advisors. Long-term, or resident,
advisors provide advice and training to officials in governmental
and commercial financial institutions. Short-term, or intermittent,
advisors provide highly specialized assistance, as necessary.
As the contours of a market based financial sector slowly
begin to emerge, Treasury's technical assistance program is
poised to guide financial institutions to adopt policies and
procedures which allow for continued and sustainable growth.
In these changing financial environments, government institutions
must adopt substantially different policies and procedures,
and develop their human capital, in order to play an effective
role in market economies. Experienced advisors from the United
States and other countries provide invaluable assistance in
this process.
