IMF | CCAMTAC

The Caucasus, Central Asia, and Mongolia Regional Capacity Development Center (CCAMTAC) is a collaborative venture between the IMF, nine member countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan), and development partners. The Center was opened virtually on February 1, 2021 ahead of its physical launch in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The Center serves a diverse and dynamic region of 100 million people and is a major step in deepening the Fund’s engagement to support stronger policy frameworks and institutions in the region, to find new and inclusive growth drivers, and to boost the region’s economic potential. The Center joined a global network of sixteen IMF regional capacity development centers (RCDCs).
