INTERVIEW OF PRESIDENT OF FIU OF NIGER, MR. HASSANE TAHER
In January 2020, the Council of Ministers of Niger adopted a series of draft decrees aimed at strengthening the system for combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism. These regulatory texts aim in particular to give CENTIF the legitimacy to conduct the national risk assessment, with a view to the second round of mutual assessments.
Finally, in May 2020, Niger will host the Plenary Meeting of the 33rd GIABA Technical Commission. Hit hard by terrorism, exposed to various forms of trafficking as a transit country, Niger has given itself the means to fight against these scourges.
