Presentation of annual report 2024

SAMIFIN presented its 2024 annual report, highlighting notable progress in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing in Madagascar. Highlights include:
- Publication of the results of the national assessment of money laundering and terrorist financing risks.
- Development of a draft national strategy to combat money laundering and terrorist financing (SNLBCFT), currently being adopted.
- Improvement of Madagascar's compliance, with 28 out of 40 FATF recommendations compliant.

On the operational level, SAMIFIN has identified nearly 1,500 billion Ariary of illicit financial flows. Thanks to effective cooperation, more than 4.9 billion Ariary have been recovered: 2.7 billion Ariary by the General Directorate of Taxes (DGI) and 2.2 billion Ariary by the Illicit Asset Recovery Agency (ARAI).

This success is based on synergy with institutional partners and stakeholders in the fight against AML/CFT. However, challenges remain, including the assessment by ESAAMLG in 2026. A preparation plan is already in place.
SAMIFIN continues to work to strengthen the security and integrity of the national financial system.

The ceremony was attended by high-ranking figures such as the President of the Senate, the 3rd Quaestor of the National Assembly, the High Councilor of the High Constitutional Court, the heads of the Anti-Corruption System, the Secretaries General and Directors General from the public and private sectors as well as all stakeholders in AML/CFT.
