Notably\, support was requested for the accountancy professions (chartered accountants and certified accountants)\, the legal professions (lawyers\, notaries\, adouls)\, dealers in precious stones and metals and traders in antiques or works of art\, casinos and gambling establishments\, as well as real estate agents. \nThe EU Global Facility began delivering online technical assistance activities to Morocco in November 2020\, focusing on the topics on beneficial ownership and cryptocurrencies. The July 2022 onsite mission is expected to be followed by a number of technical training\, workshops and conferences\, where the issues of AML/CFT in the non-financial sector will be addressed. \n[/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]

Sharing of expertise and the participation of Europol in some of the EU Global Facility’s activities were also evoked. \nIndeed\, the Global Facility mentioned its keenness on inviting Europol experts in a targeted way\, depending on the topics and the countries. \nThe exchanges contributed to positioning the Global Facility as a potential technical assistance solution in countries with which Europol cooperates\, and where a need for training on AML/CFT related matters is emerging (ex: Colombia was mentioned). \nThe Global Facility also expressed its interest in joining the Europol Platform for Experts (EPE)\, which could serve as a forum for exchange between police officers trained in the partner countries. \n???? ????????
