This meeting involved representatives of the Ministry of Justice\, the Central Office for the Repression of Corruption and the President and members of the CTRF Council (Algeria’s Financial Intelligence Unit).\n\nIn addition to discussions on the evolution of laws on AML/CFT around the world\, the EU Global Facility experts tackled the question of “are the changes made to the law sufficient for a good alignment with international standards?.” \nLater during the day\, a workshop was organised to review and analyse the Algerian AML/CFT law\, for which the Algerian CTRF requested the Global Facility’s expertise. \n  \n\nFrom Tuesday to Thursday\, different workshops and meetings will be organised to cover the implementation of the Technical Assistance Coordination Committee (TACC)\, the technical assistance programme for the Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) sector\, and the national risk assessment of virtual assets.\nThe visit will conclude with a meeting with representatives from the EU Delegation to Algiera.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

H.E concluded with thanking the EU Global Facility\, the French Embassy\, the experts and the countries representatives for their presence in this conference and expressed his best wishes to all. \nSpeaking at the opening ceremony\, Alexis Le Cour Grandmaison\, French Ambassador to Jordan\, underlined the need to put in place an adequate legal framework to identify criminal assets\, including virtual assets\, as early as possible in the investigation in order to maximise the possibilities of effecting a seizure. He also referred to the decisive action of the French Asset Recovery Agency (AGRASC) “whose recoveries have doubled between 2020 and 2021 to reach 480 million euros. It is important that this activity benefits the public community”. \nThe event\, which will witness the intervention of more than 20 experts from the Americas\, Europe and the Arab world\, seeks to tackle the causes and existence of AMLCFT risks\, and promote cooperation and compliance with the global standards and cooperation in the field of Vas. Ultimately\, it seeks to guide respective countries\, their competent authorities\, and the private sector\, on shaping the strategic direction of dealing with VAs\, Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs)\, and understanding requirements of this direction\, i.e. banning or regulating VAs. \n“This event is a recognition of the crucial importance of exchanging and sharing best practices between countries from the same region\, especially on such an innovative and new topic\,” said EU Global Facility Team Leader David Hotte\, thanking all participants for their active participation and interest in the topic. \n???? VAs represent an attractive economic opportunity for jurisdictions\, but bring along a number of challenges and risks that must be understood and managed for their safe integration within a country’s economy. Amongst other things\, are financial crime risks (for example the abuse of VAs to evade sanctions\, launder money or finance terrorism)\, as well as the potential impact on the wider ecosystem. For instance\, banks might need to put in place increased/tailored monitoring to bank these operators\, and regulators might need to adapt their regulatory and supervisory approaches to target the specific risks brought about by VA operators\, whilst guaranteeing a rapid regulatory process and a smooth supervision experience (to maintain a competitive edge against other jurisdictions).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default”

More specifically it will review how legal professions and accountants\, and their self-regulated bodies\, adequately apply AML/CFT preventive measures commensurate with their risks\, and report suspicious transactions. \nIn the second day\, a technical training for ML/TF self-regulated bodies will be delivered.

Started in April 2021\, activities have focused on parallel investigations\, the use of informants\, turning intelligence into evidence\, financial supervision\, the judiciary and FIU core functions. \n  \nLearn more about our work with the UAE HERE[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

I am confident that the discussions at this conference will provide guidance in this direction.” \nThe high level conference will witness the participation of representatives from some of the most important actors in the banking field\, including the International Monetary Fund\, the Wolfsberg Group\, SWIFT\, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)\, the Egmont Group\, Facebook Payments\, as well as Mauritian financial institutions. \n“The BoM works very closely with all its regulatees to ensure a continuous monitoring of developments on the front of correspondent banking and cross border payments. This workshop is therefore of paramount importance to come out better equipped in view of fostering stronger correspondent banking relationships\,” said Harvesh Seegoolam\, Governor of the BoM. \nFor his part\, David Hotte\, Team Leader of the EU Global Facility\, explained: “The economic impact of de-risking can be devastating for countries around the world. They include difficulties in accessing international payment systems and foreign markets for trade\, closure of operations by institutions\, reduced scale of operations\, and diminished financial performance and job losses.” \nNoting that the number of correspondent banking terminations and restrictions had increased in the ESAAMLG region in recent years\, he added: “with this unique and very high level conference\, we intend to provide answers and solutions to the conclusions of the ESAAMLG survey on correspondent banking relationships.” \nLast year\, Mauritius was removed from both the FATF List of Countries subject to Increased Monitoring ahead of the FATF set timelines and the European Commission List of High-Risk Third Countries. This followed continuous efforts to strengthen the effectiveness of the country’s AML/CFT regime. \n——- \nThe event took place in a hybrid format (onsite and online) in Mauritius\, from 11th to 12th\, May 2022. \nThe objectives of this conference are to assist participants on:\n(a) The de-risking phenomenon in ESAAMLG region\, causes\, consequences\, and main drivers of correspondent banking relationships (CBRs) termination\n(b) The measurement of de-risking impact and of listing\n(c) Describe the FATF (Recommendation 13) and EU best practices\, cross-border correspondent relationships\, as opposed to domestic relationships\, that should prompt additional customer due diligence measures\n(d) Clarify the role of SWIFT as global provider of secure financial messaging services\, and give an overview of the correspondent banking system\, SWIFT’s role and initiatives in financial crime compliance\, and particularly in the ESAAMLG region\n(e) The challenges faced by correspondent banks\n(f) The practical roles\, tools and solutions\, available for supervisors to design and implement risk-based supervision strategies\n(g) The practical expectations\, from the Financial Intelligence Units in receiving\, analysing\, and disseminating suspicious transaction reports on correspondent banking\, and from Law Enforcement agencies in conducting investigations on financial crime abusing correspondent banking relationships (typologies) and the relevant consequences\n(h) Facilitating the exchange of experiences between similar competent authorities[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60px”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60px”][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_style” images=”2437\,2436\,2434\,2433\,2431″ onclick=”link_no”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”250px”][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h6″ text_color=”#009fe3″ button_color=”default” button_border_thickness=”0px” link_type=”regular” alignment=”center” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” link_text=”See more photos” url=”https://dev.global-amlcft.eu/images-videos/”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60px”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60px”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60px”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/HqkSRZuZlTk”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The country had previously been listed in June 2020. \nFrom June 2019 until November 2021\, the EU Global Facility has provided continuous technical assistance through various training and activities to help Mauritian authorities and AML/CFT actors rectify the strategic deficiencies in its national anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing framework to be removed from the list.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”default” link_type=”regular” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” display=”block” link_text=”Learn more about our work with Mauritius” url=”https://dev.global-amlcft.eu/where-we-work/mauritius-aml-cft/”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
