Experts from Mauritania, Algeria, Morocco and the 15 countries of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) gathered in Dakar this week to discuss the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. The three-day forum, which ended on Wednesday (October 12th), was led by Swiss experts and aimed at helping participating countries to develop a joint plan to combat banking transactions that can benefit extremists.

"Switzerland is at the forefront of the fight against financial crime, and it has an effective mechanism for the prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing," Senegalese Economy Minister Abdoulaye Diop noted. "Therefore, this forum is an opportunity for us to take advantage of that expertise and experience in the fight against such problems that are still affecting the African countries."
