- [nb-NO]Scope and Content[nb-NO]Series consists of the country files maintained by the EU2 Immediate Office since its establishment in 1992. Records reflect all aspects of the Department's functions and activities, in particular advising on economic, financial and political developments in countries within its area; conducting consultation missions and negotiations involving the use of Fund's resources; review of performance under financial programs; and coordinating technical assistance efforts in member countries. Files reveal the work between the European Department 2, its Divisions, and the Functional Departments, and provide a valuable information on the IMF's activities and approaches in member countries assigned to the Department. Files are arranged by subject according to country and chronologically within each file. Records consist of memoranda exchanged between the EU2 Director and the Managing Director, Deputy Managing Director, Members of the Executive Board, Department Heads, Advisors and Senior Advisors, and Division Chiefs; correspondence exchanged within the Department, with IMF Resident Representatives, and with other technical assistance experts assigned to countries; external memoranda, letters, faxes and cables exchanged with country officials, Central and Reserve Banks, Embassies, and other regional and international organizations; draft and final Executive Board Documents; Back-to-Office Reports for visits to countries; minutes of meetings; reports; country background notes, briefing papers; comments on drafts and final papers prepared by EU2 or in collaboration with other departments; comments on documents prepared by other Departments, academic institutions, and other organizations. Files also contain few documents issued by the World Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the European Commission and other international organizations; newspapers clippings, press releases, bulletins, appointments of country officials and governors of the IMF, speeches, statements, and printed materials. Additionally, the files contain internal and external reports provided by the member countries and the Fund’s Resident Representatives, such as recent economic and political developments, policies and prospects in the country; decrees and legislations; and countries economic, financial, and fiscal data. Predominant are issues related to membership admission; Pre-Membership Economic Review, the determination & review of country quotas; country monetary policy and new currencies; country exchange rate regime; technical assistance provided by the IMF through staff missions or assignment of experts; the Consultation missions and discussions held under Article IV of the IMF's Articles of Agreement; and the use of resources under the IMF facilities, Accounts, and Arrangements (Stand-by Arrangement, Systemic Transformation Facility and Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility).
