“We are aware that our financial
system is exposed to the risks of money laundering and of financing terrorism,
which makes it imperative that we increasingly strengthen the mechanisms to
identify and combat this evil”, he declared.
Zandamela wanted the central bank to
adopt a regulatory framework in line with the current challenges, and with the
strategic orientation to implement a more effective and comprehensive
monitoring system.
“As the central bank, we shall
continue to mobilise our cooperation partners in order to improve the necessary
technological capacities, in order to respond better to the challenges imposed
by money laundering and terrorism”, he added. Speaking to reporters, French
ambassador David Izzo said he hopes that, with this support, the Mozambican
banking system will become more robust and prepared to control illicit flows of
capital intended for terrorist groups. “This cooperation with the Bank of
Mozambique is at the heart of our support against terrorism”, he said. “We know
that there is no terrorism without finance and that there are links between
trafficking of all kinds in which transfers of money are not screened”.
“Our desire is that this collaboration
should bring innovative elements, which make it possible to strengthen the
surveillance systems and control resources of the Bank of Mozambique, while
strengthening the development of technical skills concerning the fight against
money laundering and the financing of terrorism”, said the ambassador.
