Risks/Assumptions<br />
The political and security situation in Afghanistan permits the delivery and<br />
implementation of TA in a timely manner.<br />
The DAB provides all the necessary support to the FSD in order to allow it to perform its<br />
functions effectively by ensuring that the FSD has an adequate number of staff with good<br />
qualifications, and that the FSD is granted sufficient powers and relevant legal protection<br />
that enable it to perform its duties with independence and integrity.<br />
The DAB staff makes good use of the knowledge acquired during the capacity building<br />
sessions and applies it effectively and objectively in the course of supervising banks.<br />
The DAB senior management shows continued commitment to implement the new<br />
manuals, enhancements, and policy recommendations supplied by <strong>METAC</strong>.<br />

complement to significant TA directly provided by the IMF Statistics Department (STA).<br />
<strong>METAC</strong> assistance was provided in the areas of price statistics and of balance of<br />
payments (BOP) statistics. The beneficiary institutions were the Central Statistical<br />

achievement given insecurity and the scarce resources devoted to the CPI unit. Since<br />

from a recent household survey; and (iii) expansion of coverage from six to ten<br />
cities/provinces.<br />
BOP statistics are compiled according to the fifth edition of the Balance of Payments<br />
Manual. The compilation of external statistics has improved significantly in terms of<br />
coverage and soundness of methodology. BOP data were published by the IMF, for the
