West Africa Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) (HQ)

West Africa
ATTENTION: ,
I resumed duty recently as policy harmonization chairman on Public Debt WAEMU (West Africa Economic and Monetary Union ), a committee Established by The International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 1994, under the able ECOWAS presidency,
The international community has made the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing a priority. Among the goals of this effort are: protecting the integrity of the international financial system, cutting off the resources available to terrorists, and making it harder for criminals to profit from their crimes. The IMF is especially concerned about the possible consequences of money laundering on its members' economies, which could include risks to the soundness and stability of financial institutions and financial systems and increased volatility of international capital flows.
The problem is global. Money launderers exploit differences among national anti-money laundering systems and move their funds to jurisdictions with weak or ineffective laws. If countries fail to address money laundering issues, crime can become more entrenched. Money laundering can also have a dampening effect on foreign direct investment if a country's commercial and financial sectors are perceived to be vulnerable to money launderers.
