ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT : CEE, SEE & NIS
PARTNERS FOR FINANCIAL STABILITY PROGRAM (PFS) (1999 – 2009)

EWMI and USAID established the Partners for Financial Stability (PFS) Program in 1999 as a public private partnership to help complete reforms necessary to instill market-oriented, sound and well-functioning financial sectors in the eight Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries that have since joined the European Union. Since its launch in 1999, a wide range of donors and partners have further contributed to the program, most notably the U.S. Department of State, which supported the continuation of the program in the Baltic States, and the OSCE, which co-funded the CEE Pension Reform Network. Capitalizing on the knowledge and best practices acquired in the CEE region, the geographical focus of the program shifted to South East Europe (SEE) in 2005 and was further expanded in 2006 to include the countries of the former Soviet Union (NIS). The goal of the PFS Program is to work with CEE, SEE and NIS countries to accelerate financial sector development and reform based on best practices as well as international standards, promoting integration into the European and international economic systems.
