REF: NSDD 38 Case Number TREAS-IND-21402-12222008
1. Post supports and approves the addition of one full-time
Department of Treasury (DOT) Staff, as outlined in ref A.
2. This position will enhance the USG's in-country macroeconomic and
financial sector analysis, support Indonesia's financial sector
development, and increase Post's knowledge of and contract with
International Financial Institutions. The position will also
enhance Post's ability to support Indonesia's work with the G20,
particularly around reform of International Financial Institutions.
The DOT position will also augment USG in-country efforts to reduce
terrorist financing and curtail financial crimes.
3. The DOT attach will report to the Deputy Chief of Mission or the
Economic Counselor, as determined by the Chief of Mission. The
attach will coordinate closely with the Embassy's economic cluster
team. All submissions from the attach to the Embassy's front
office will be coordinated in advance with the Economic Counselor.
The DOT attach will also provide front-channel reporting on
macroeconomic policy and financial sector trends.
4. The position was not included in the 2008 MPP, as DOT has only
recently reached an agreement with Post on the scope of work for the
Treasury position.
5. There is no Treasury staff in Jakarta currently, but the Mission
has the space to house the one requested position with some
reconfiguration of the Economic Section. Post recommends initially
hiring only one FSN given the space constraints in the Economic and
Political FSN office. The start-up and ICASS costs to the DOT for
one position are as follows:
A. DOT-FUNDED, START UP
