1 By convention in the IT systems, it can be specified that these international organisations are located in Switzerland, United States, United Arab Emirates, Sierra Leone, Colombia, Senegal and Cameroon respectively. However, owing to their status as international organisations they are not residents of the mentioned countries.

ANNEX: INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS

Most supranational and international organisations, including those physically located within the euro area, are to be classified under the “Rest of the world”, within the “General government” sector for the purposes of compiling monetary statistics.

However, exceptions exist for a number of international organisations that undertake some type of “banking activities”. This type of organizations are not to be classified as “RoW-General government” but rather as “RoW-Banks”, if they undertake banking activities as central monetary authorities, or as “RoW-Other resident sectors”, if their activities have features of a development bank (mainly involving long-term financing for capital investment projects).

The list below classifies the most important international organisations according to these categories. It is not intended to be exhaustive.
