Angola Strengthens Fight Against Money Laundering With Historic Regulatory Pact

Angola's financial and yahoo finance regulators have signed a landmark agreement to bolster anti-money laundering efforts. The deal, inked on October 28, 2025, aims to align the country's regulatory practices with international standards and combat financial crimes.

The agreement, signed by Dr. Nerethz Tati of the Gaming Supervision Institute (ISJ) and Dr. Elmer Serrão of the Capital Markets Commission (CMC), focuses on preventing and combating money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. It reflects Angola's commitment to meet Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations, following its inclusion on the FATF 'Grey List'.

The protocol establishes frameworks for technical cooperation, information exchange, and joint training programmes. It aims to improve oversight and strengthen Angola's anti-money laundering (AML) and risk management capabilities.

The Institutional Cooperation Protocol signals Angola's dedication to enhancing its financial regulatory environment. By working together, the ISJ and CMC can better protect the country's financial system and ensure it meets international standards.
