Date Time Opening of New IMF Regional Capacity Development Center for Caucasus, Central Asia, and Mongolia Helping countries to strengthen economic institutions and policies is a core function of the IMF through its capacity development services, which account for one-third of IMF activities. The Caucasus, Central Asia, and Mongolia Regional Capacity Development Center (CCAMTAC) is a collaborative venture between the IMF, member countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan), and development partners. The Center-to be opened virtually-ahead of its physical launch in Almaty, Kazakhstan, is a major step in deepening the Fund’s engagement to support economic policymaking and institution-building in the region.
