Kinshasa — The Democratic Republic of the Congo's government wants to turn its exit from the Financial Action Task Force's "grey list" into a lasting achievement, through a permanent national policy against money laundering and financial crime.
The FATF, the global anti-money-laundering body, removed DR Congo from its list of countries under increased monitoring on 30 October.
"No let-up"
At the 102nd meeting of the Council of Ministers in Kinshasa on Friday, Prime Minister Judith Suminwa Tuluka praised the institutions behind the reforms, including the justice and finance ministries and the national financial intelligence unit, CENAREF. But she warned that leaving the list must not lead to complacency.
Each minister concerned must ensure that measures in their sector are applied, controls continue and cooperation between services is strengthened, the meeting's report says.
Suminwa plans to call a strategy meeting soon with the foreign, justice and finance ministers, CENAREF and the Central Bank of the Congo.
