Head of Government Receives the President of the National Financial Intelligence Authority
The Head of Government, Mr. Aziz Akhannouch, received on December 23, 2025, the President of the National Financial Intelligence Authority (ANRF), who presented to him the Authority’s annual report for the year 2024, in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 43-05 relating to the fight against money laundering.
During this meeting, the President of the ANRF outlined the main achievements of the Authority in 2024, most notably the completion of the overall alignment of the national anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing framework with the international standards of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
The year 2024 was also marked by the adoption of the third National Risk Assessment report on money laundering and terrorism financing, prepared in coordination with all relevant national partners.
This report aims to identify risks related to money laundering, terrorism financing and the proliferation of weapons, to reduce their impact, and to continue strengthening the understanding of emerging risk contexts among stakeholders in both the public and private sectors.
Similarly, and within a preventive approach, a comprehensive action plan was launched to prepare for the third cycle of the mutual evaluation process of the national framework, to which the country will be subject starting from November 2026.
The report also highlights the measures taken to improve the legal framework of the national system, notably through the drafting of legislative texts in coordination with the relevant sectors, including a bill aimed at a comprehensive overhaul of Law No. 43-05 on money laundering and another relating to crypto-assets.
On the operational level, the report notes an upward trend in the Authority’s activity indicators during 2024, both in terms of the number of suspicious transaction reports submitted and the requests for information received at the national and international levels, as well as referrals made to the competent judicial authorities.
At the international level, the report presents efforts to strengthen cooperation with relevant regional and international bodies and organizations, with a view to consolidating the Kingdom of Morocco’s position and honoring its international commitments in the field of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing.
Finally, the meeting underscored the need to pursue efforts to ensure the success of the third cycle of the mutual evaluation process of the national framework, by accelerating the adoption and publication of the legislative texts required to upgrade the national system, and by strengthening coordination among all stakeholders in order to enhance its effectiveness in addressing current and future challenges.
