COUNTERING TRADE-BASED MONEY LAUNDERING 2025

Given the significance of this topic, the Afreximbank Academy (AFRACAD), in partnership with The CIBN Centre for Financial Studies, seek to hold a webinar session on the theme: Countering Trade Based Money Laundering: Implications for Regulators and Operators. The event aims to contribute to a better understanding of the challenges posed by trade-based money laundering and the role of regulators in combating it. It will also provide regulators with insights into the strategies they can use to implement effective CTBML measures, including technology, information sharing and international cooperation.

Learning Objectives:

1. Provide an overview of trade-based money laundering and its impact on the global financial system.
2. Identify and discuss risk indicators relevant to private and public sectors.
3. Highlight the implications of CTBML for regulators and identify the challenges they face in implementing effective CTBML measures.
4. Discuss the regulatory frameworks currently in place to combat TBML and propose strategies that regulators can adopt to strengthen CTBML measures further and mitigate the risks associated with trade-based money laundering
5. Appreciate the role played by Afreximbank and MANSA Digital Initiative in shaping the Compliance environment for Africa.
