[…]\nThe hallmark in the evolution of the Bank of Mauritius has been its institutional strength\, and I can confidently affirm that the measures have reaped the expected results and the banking system has successfully weathered the crisis unscathed.” \nA reality that David Hotte focused on during his presentation on “AML/CFT Developments”\, stressing the need for “tailor-made and context-adapted regulatory and legislative changes in the banking sector.” \n“AML/CFT is an ever evolving matter and countries from all over the world need to be constantly on the lookout for new threats to their frameworks. This is why the EU Global Facility is so strongly committed to promoting a South to South technical assistance where experts trained by the EU GF can subsequently become trainers for their peers and colleagues from other countries of their region (and elsewhere).” \nAs part of its technical assistance to the partner country of Mauritius\, the EU Global Facility provided continuous technical assistance through various training and activities from June 2019 to May 2022. \n????Mauritius was officially removed from the list of high-risk third countries with regards to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) by the FATF[/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 simulation will outline a large terrorist event and will then focus on developing financial investigation and intelligence activity that will support the simulated criminal justice event. The exercice will be based on the geography and local economy of the Mauritius environment \nThe learning facilitation will lead the participants towards the identification of the financial footprint that pre-and-post terrorism attack activity leaves. Further participant analysis will allow for the development of an immediate financial investigative action plan that will steer and advise the local Mauritian authorities should an incident occur. \nUltimately\, the activity seeks to support Mauritian partners to improve their capacities to: \n\n– Prevent and detect the funding of terrorism – utilising the ITAC model.\n– Support the investigation of a terrorist attack through the utilisation of Financial Intelligence including ‘crimes in action’ utilising a Post Incident Financial Investigation Actions Plan.\n– Outline the financial behaviours  that indicate operational terrorist financing to aid preventative and post incident investigations.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
