Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – The Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Finance, Vusie Dlamini, is leading Eswatini’s delegation at the 50th Eastern and Southern African Anti-Money Laundering Group (ESAAMLG) Task Force of Senior Officials in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Eswatini has submitted a request for the re-rating of 15 recommendations from the 2022 Mutual Evaluation Report, which pointed out gaps in the country’s compliance with Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards.
The delegation includes the Attorney General, the Governor of the Central Bank, the Director General of the Financial Intelligence Centre, the Chief Executive Officer of the Centre for Financial Inclusion, and members of the Finance Portfolio Committee from both Parliament and Senate. Senior officials from various government institutions responsible for combating money laundering and preventing the financing of terrorism are also part of the team. 
The Minister of Finance, Neal Rijkenberg, is expected to join the delegation later this week for the Council of Ministers Plenary Meeting.
