IMF CCAMTAC

What IMF CCAMTAC does

IMF CCAMTAC (Caucasus, Central Asia, and Mongolia Regional Capacity Development Center) is a nonprofit regional capacity development center established by the International Monetary Fund and launched virtually on February 1, 2021, with its physical headquarters in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The center delivers technical assistance, country-specific advisory missions, in-person regional workshops, research seminars, and webinars to government institutions in nine member countries — Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan — a region of approximately 100 million people. Its primary "customers" are ministries of finance, central banks, tax administrations, and national statistical agencies requiring support on macroeconomic frameworks, public financial management, monetary and financial sector policy, revenue administration, and macroeconomic statistics.

The core service portfolio consists of regional workshops (in-person training on SOE governance, fiscal risk management, public financial management, and enterprise risk management), research seminars (academic papers on central bank independence, inflation expectations, dollarization, and tax reform incidence), webinars (online seminars on fiscal policy), and country-specific technical assistance tailored to each of the nine member states. Delivery relies on IMF-developed analytical tools, including the Comprehensive Adaptive Expectations Model (CAEM), the Government Finance Statistics Manual 2014 (GFSM 2014), the Financial Programming and Policies (FPP) framework, the Cash Flow Analysis Tool (CFAT), the PPP Fiscal Risks Assessment Model (PFRAM), the SOE Health Check Tool, and the Discrete Guarantee and Loan Assessment Tool. The center complements in-country work with online learning courses offered in partnership with edX and the IMF Institute Learning Channel on YouTube, providing free, IMF-expert-taught content to government officials and the broader public.

CCAMTAC operates as a collaborative venture between the IMF, the nine member countries, and a set of development partners — Kazakhstan as host and major contributor, plus Switzerland (SECO), Russia, China (including the People's Bank of China), Korea, the United States, the European Union, the Asian Development Bank, and Poland — who collectively fund a five-year budget. Services are provided at no charge to government officials, and online courses and microlearning content are also free to the general public. The center has a core staff of approximately 8 (with LinkedIn profiles indicating a wider 11-50 range that includes visiting experts and program support) and draws on cross-IMF department expertise (FAD, MCM, STA, LEG) as well as partner institutions including the Joint Vienna Institute (JVI), the IMF-Singapore Regional Training Institute (STI), the China-IMF Capacity Development Center (CICDC), the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, and UNDP for joint diagnostics and workshops.
