‘Sustain gains made in fighting financial crimes’ – Finance Minister urges new Board of Financial Intelligence Centre

The newly-inaugurated Board of the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) has been urged by the Minister for Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, to sustain gains made by the country in fighting financial crimes.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the Board, the Minister assured the Board of government’s commitment to providing them with the needed resources to help combat financial crimes.

He commended the Board for the lead role played in getting Ghana off the Financial Action Task Force grey list after it had detected some deficiencies in the country’s Anti-Money Laundering regime.

The Task Force developed an action plan for Ghana with timelines from 2019 to 2021 to address or risk being placed on the blacklist.

Mr Ofori-Atta said the FIC completed the action plan ahead of the schedule which resulted in Ghana being taken off the grey list and reviewed the confidence in the economy.

“It is my hope that you will continue to work hard to sustain the gains made so that we do not get back to where we came from,” he said.
