The Financial Market Council (CMF) held a meeting on Thursday to present a new regulation outlining implementation measures to combat money laundering, terrorism financing, and weapons proliferation.
According to a statement released Friday by the Council, the meeting provided an opportunity to present the main innovations introduced by the new legal text. These include adopting a risk-based approach as the central reference for implementing preventive and control measures, as well as strengthening internal governance and risk management requirements within institutions under the CMF’s supervision.
On this occasion, the CMF reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that institutions under its supervision comply with legal and regulatory obligations related to combating money laundering, terrorism financing and proliferation, as part of the national effort to strengthen the prevention of these crimes.
The Council also reiterated its determination to improve the regulatory framework and support market professionals, in order to enhance the integrity and transparency of the Tunisian financial market, thereby strengthening investor confidence.
