Comprehensive Banking Industry Compliance Standards Enacted in Monaco
==============================================
The Principality of Monaco has taken a significant step towards enhancing its financial regulatory framework by enforcing Law 1.549 on July 6, 2023. This legislation is aimed at aligning Monaco’s standards with Moneyval recommendations and bolstering the country’s compliance with international anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.
Enhanced Supervision and Compliance
The Service d’Information et de Contrôle sur les Circuits Financiers (S.I.C.C.FIN.) has been rebranded as the Autorité Monégasque de Sécurité Financière (AMSF), an independent administrative authority. The AMSF’s role is being expanded to strengthen supervision of financial institutions (FIs) and designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs). To achieve this, the agency will be equipped with enhanced resources and powers.
Key Areas of Remit
- Financial Intelligence Unit: Improved detection of illicit activities
- Supervision: Enhanced regulatory oversight
- Sanctions: Ensuring perpetrators are held accountable for non-compliance
