USAID’s new Partners for Financial Stability Program (PFS) is a three-year regional program that builds upon USAID and EWMI's prior work in the financial sector while addressing some of the key challenges posed by the global financial crisis in the partner countries in Southeast Europe and Eurasia. The PFS Program supports financial sector development by bringing together regional players from partner and mentor countries to address regional challenges, promote the adoption and implementation of international best practices, and to share experience and lessons learned. Under a subcontract with Deloitte Consulting, USAID's implementing partner for PFS, EWMI will assist with the development of the Financial Sector Benchmarking System (FSBS) and will facilitate regional knowledge sharing and institutional capacity building through the design and implementation of conferences and seminars.
