Oman, 22 November, 2024 : The Sultanate of Oman’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) systems have been lauded at the 39th General Meeting of the Middle East and North Africa Financial Action Task Force (MENAFATF) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, held from 16 to 21 November 2024.
Oman’s delegation, led by Tahir Salim Al Amri, Executive President of the Central Bank of Oman and Chairman of the National Committee for Combating Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism, presented the Mutual Evaluation Report, which was reviewed and approved during the meeting.
The report highlighted Oman’s adherence to international standards set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), earning praise as the best AML and CTF system in the Middle East and North Africa region.
Previously discussed at the FATF General Meeting in Paris in October 2024, the mutual evaluation process reflects a joint effort between FATF and MENAFATF to assess compliance with global AML and CTF standards.
