Finance Minister Mohammad al-Hussein said Sunday that the international positive evaluation on Syria's efforts in combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism is a clear proof on the government seriousness in implementing international criterion in this regard.
A report for the Middle East and North African Financial Action Task Force ( MENAFATF) posted on the web hailed Syria's efforts in fighting money laundering and the financing of terrorism, pointing out to other procedures the Syrian government must adopt in this domain.
"The report content boosts confidence in the Syrian economy, particularly in the financial sector… the report unveils the falseness of some allegations that the Commercial Bank of Syria makes money laundering transactions," Minister Hussein added.
Adib Mayale, Governor of the Central Bank of Syria noted that "the report shows the Syrian authority's desire to find a preemptive apparatus to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism as well provide needed protection against social, political and economic dangers relating to financial crimes."
Syria has taken a number of procedures and issued several laws to fight money laundering, most importantly the legislative decree No. 33 for the year 2005.
