  • They are in accordance with Egmont Group international standards and FATF guidelines
  • Kuwait aims to enhance crossborder collaboration to stem illicit financial flows and terror transactions
  • The MoUs include capacity building, data sharing agreements, and coordinated enforcement measures

  • The IraqKuwait agreement is based on current cooperation and facilitates mutual data exchange for AML enforcement
  • The longterm objective of Kuwait is to create a transparent, stable, and internationally compliant financial environment.
  • Such transactions are followed by a rise in local threats and a demand for collective financial monitoring mechanisms
  • The project helps Kuwait in ongoing efforts to strengthen its AML regime and its contribution to international financial security
