ALGERIA EYES COMPLIANCE WITH GLOBAL STANDARDS FOR AML AND KYC REGULATIONS

Algeria has taken a significant step in its efforts to combat money laundering and terrorism financing by strengthening its Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations. The country’s financial authorities have implemented stringent measures to ensure that businesses operating within the nation adhere to global standards.

KEY REGULATORS AND REGULATIONS

The Bank of Algeria, Financial Intelligence Processing Unit (CTRF), and other regulatory bodies are responsible for enforcing AML/KYC regulations in the country. The primary KYC/AML regulation is the Law on the Prevention and Fight against Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism.

DATA PROTECTION REGULATIONS

Data protection rights in Algeria are protected by Law No. 18-07 of 25 Ramadhan 1439 Relating to the Protection of Individuals in the Processing of Personal Data. However, the country does not have an active data protection authority. Businesses operating within Algeria are advised to adhere to global data processing standards to avoid potential regulatory challenges.
