Visit of the Russian delegation for the AMLCFT evaluation in Madagascar

As part of the cooperation between Madagascar and Russia in the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT), a Russian delegation, represented by ROSFIN, visited Madagascar on 12 and 13 December 2024 to assess the current situation of the country's AML/CFT system. It is important to note that Russia will not participate in Madagascar's assessment in 2026, which is why it was asked to carry out a preliminary analysis of the current system. Russia, recognized as one of the countries with an effective and well-rated AML/CFT system, shared its expertise to support Madagascar in improving its system.

Meetings and exchanges interesting

The Russian delegation met with several AML/CFT stakeholders in Madagascar. These meetings brought together representatives of institutions responsible for investigations and law enforcement, such as BIANCO, the National Gendarmerie (GN), the National Police (PN), the Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development (MEDD/DULC), as well as SAMIFIN. The supervisory authorities, namely the CSBF (Banking and Financial Supervision Commission) and the OECFM (Order of Chartered Accountants of Madagascar), also participated in these discussions.
