The collaboration between the Egmont Group and MENAFATF is essential in combating money laundering, associated predicate crimes, and terrorist financing in the MENA region and elsewhere. The MENAFATF 40th Plenary underscored the critical role of Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) in this global effort.
During the HoFIU Forum, Egmont Group Chair, Elżbieta Franków-Jaśkiewicz emphasized the vital role of FIUs in combating money laundering and terrorist financing. Madam Franków-Jaśkiewicz also highlighted the longstanding partnership between the Egmont Group and the MENA region, a collaboration that continues to evolve over the years.
Sheika May Al Khalifa, Egmont Group Vice-Chair and Regional Representative, has been instrumental in fostering this collaboration, promoting partnerships within the region and between the Egmont Group.
Looking ahead, the partnership promises to continue growing stronger. Under the esteemed leadership of President Samya Abou Sharif, MENAFATF is poised to achieve greater milestones in its mission to ensure financial transparency and security.
These inspiring women exemplify the power of female leadership in the financial intelligence community. Their contributions are not only shaping the future of the Egmont Group and MENAFATF but also setting a benchmark for excellence and dedication.
