The Egmont Group represented by Chair Ms. Elzbieta FRANKOW-JASKIEWICZ and Executive Secretary Mr. Jerome BEAUMONT, was happy to take part in the 35th FATF Plenary, hosted by the delegation of Singapore under the presidency of T. Raja Kumar.
Between June 23-28, the Egmont Group, in its capacity as an Observer, supported several essential AML/CFT initiatives. Moreover, the Egmont Group is pleased to continue its joint work with FATF through the new project on Effective Informal International Cooperation.
In addition, the EG extends its gratitude to T. Raja Kumar, FATF President, and the Singapore Presidency for their unwavering efforts in strengthening the AML/CFT global network. We especially appreciate their initiatives dedicated to asset recovery, such as the FIRE (Financial Investigations and Recovery Efforts) events, which have significantly contributed to enhancing global cooperation and effectiveness in asset recovery. The EG remains dedicated to supporting FIUs in their ongoing efforts to improve the asset recovery process.
We also extend our best wishes to Elisa de Anda in her new role as FATF President. The Egmont Group remains steadfast in our support, as we were with Raja Kumar, to advance our shared objectives and we will support the incoming Chair’s proprieties.
We remain committed to engaging with FATF, as one of our strategic partners, to continue strengthening FIUs’ capacity and the resilience of the Global AML/CFT Network.
