The Intergovernmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA) organized from 02 to 04 December 2024 in Saly, Senegal, the Forum of National Committees interministerial/AML/CFT Coordination (FCI-CN). On the occasion, Senegal was removed from the grey list.

Senegal is making significant progress in terms of good governance. The performance of GIABA member states was reviewed as part of the second cycle of mutual evaluations. Indeed, Senegal has distinguished itself by its efforts, but it is recommended that it intensify its actions to maintain this positive momentum. The director of policy and research at GIABA, Mouazou Oumarou, highlighted the extent of Senegal's efforts. According to him, the country is working to fill the gaps identified in the mutual evaluation report. According to him “thanks to adapted resources and the support of technical and financial partners, the Senegal managed to get off the gray list. However, it is crucial to maintain these efforts in order to remain among the high-rated countries.”

Cheikh Diba, Senegalese Minister of Finance and Budget, emphasized the importance of political will to ensure transparency, combat financial crime, and prevent economic crime. For him, sharing information and best practices between states are necessary to achieve the goals set. “Cooperation and mutual learning are essential to make progress together in the fight against corruption and the financing of terrorism,”
