Maleiane assures that there is no reason for panic, for people wishing to travel abroad, due to the circulation of news in the international press about the alleged risk of suspension of Mozambican credit cards in the European Union.
At issue is an alleged failure by the Mozambican authorities to comply with security measures recommended by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international body that monitors the application of laws and measures against money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
“They always send supervisors, if we can call them that, who work with us and then produce a report. This report, right now, is at the level of the Financial Action Task Force, which hasn’t said anything about Mozambique yet,” Maleiane pointed out.
In his opinion, the reports that circulate in the international press “are not correct”. In his view, the institutions should be left to function freely: “This is a process of mutual evaluation which is normal. Then, on the 21st (Friday), a decision will be made whether what we have done is sufficient or not,” he said.
