B. DESCRIPTION: 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:
- 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.
- International
and regional organizations.
- 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."
The attached list does not purport to be exhaustive; it only includes the
major foreign official institutions which have come to the attention of the
Federal Reserve Banks and the Department of the Treasury. For any questions
on whether an institution is considered a "Foreign Official Institution" for
TIC reporting purposes, please contact your Federal Reserve Bank analyst.
It should be noted that the list does not in every case
include all alternative names applying to the same institution. For example,
the list does not include all the administrative departments of the foreign
central governments nor all special or sub‑accounts of foreign official
institutions, although all are to be treated as official. In cases in which
legations have been changed to embassies, the embassy is shown on the list;
reporting institutions continuing to hold an account in the name of the
legation, however, should consider it as official.
These
instructions are also pertinent to international and regional organizations
that are included in the definition of foreign official institutions.
C. Revisions, part:
-- Revised June 27, 2008. To Be Completed
-- Descriptions of all other revisions since 2001 are shown at the bottom of the
"geographic version" (PDF) in part A above.
