Abstract

After the collapse of communism in Central Europe and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the United States developed programs of technical assistance to help countries transition to market economies and democracy. The Department of the Treasury's Office of Technical Assistance (OTA) was created to manage a program to provide strategic and technical advice to these countries, through advisors based in the United States and overseas, to facilitate economic reform and promote private-sector development As requested, we reviewed the operation of the Treasury assistance program. As agreed with your offices, this report identifies the types of technical assistance the advisors have provided to Russia and Romania. It also discusses oversight by OTA of advisors' activities. In addition, as you requested, we are providing information on advisor qualifications, program cost, fund transfers between the U.S. Agency for International Development (usAID) and the Treasury, and the location of the Treasury's senior advisors to its program.
