Download or read book Central African Economic and Monetary Community CEMAC written by International Monetary Fund. African Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides detailed assessment of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community's (CEMAC’s) financial system. Over the past decade, primarily as a result of high oil prices, CEMAC achieved robust economic growth, although lower than the SSA average, but insufficient to significantly reduce poverty. A poor business climate and weak governance are hampering financial sector development and its contribution to financing investments. The weakness of regional integration also limits the growth potential. The drop in oil prices by about 60 percent between June 2014 and January 2015 has had a large impact on CEMAC countries’ macroeconomic performance.

Download or read book C te D Ivoire written by International Monetary Fund. Legal Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2023-08-23 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Côte d’Ivoire has achieved progress in countering money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF) since the 2012 mutual evaluation, particularly with the adoption of the Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Law in 2016, the drafting of a national risk assessment (NRA) and a national strategy, as well as awareness-raising among various actors regarding AML/CFT issues. The effects of this endeavor have begun to materialize, notably with the new impetus provided to judicial investigations and proceedings related to financial crime. As long as they are sustained, strengthened, and based on a deeper understanding of risks, these reforms should bear more fruit in the coming years. Nevertheless, certain structural elements, such as the prevalence of cash and magnitude of the informal sector to the country’s economy, the cross-border nature of offenses, as well as corruption, continue to challenge the effectiveness of the AML/CFT regime.
