Authors : Belalmi Fahd . Attari Abdnessar .
Abstract
The sectoral assessment of money laundering risk in the banking sectors of the Arab Maghreb reveals a number of structural and operational vulnerabilities. These include disparities in risk exposure among financial institutions, persistent weaknesses in internal control systems, difficulties in fulfilling reporting obligationArab Maghreb banking sector, Money laundering, Terrorist financing, Vulnerabilities, Risk-based approach (RBA)s, and gaps in the effectiveness of banking supervision. To bolster the region’s resilience, it is essential to enhance vigilance mechanisms through the adoption of advanced technologies, reinforce compliance and staff training efforts, and improve supervisory practices through greater inter-authority coordination. Adopting a risk-based approach, modernizing regulatory frameworks, and strengthening international and regional cooperation are critical for mitigating emerging threats. These measures will help align Maghreb banking systems with international standards and improve their protection against money laundering and terrorist financing.
